Personal: December 2006 Archives
It seems I've been tagged by Sande for a meme that's been doing the rounds lately. Since this weekend was devoted to holiday cheer (two company Christmas parties on Friday, our own big party on Saturday, brunching with good friends who came in from Madison for the party on Sunday morning and plowing through some Christmas shopping on Sunday afternoon) I find myself largely without any significant knitting or spinning efforts to talk about. Thus, this meme comes at the right time for me -- although I'm not sure whether I can come up with 6 weird things, since I've done this a few times before. And I'm going to cheat on the whole tagging six new people thing...
Here are THE RULES:Each player of this game starts with the ‘6 weird things about you.’ People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you are tagged’ in their comments and tell them to read your blog.”
- I'm phone-o-phobic. Not sure what it is, and it didn't develop until my adult years, but I just hate picking up the phone. I don't have problems talking with people in general, but it takes a lot of inertia for me to punch in a phone number and call someone. I will happily send email all day long.
- I like chocolate, but I don't love chocolate or any other form of sweet, really. If I'm going to get in trouble with snack food, it's going to be potato chips or barbeque Fritos or a bag of Gardetto's snack mix. Or Margaritas.
- I tend to get bored at the beach.
- If I could live anywhere in the world, money no object, I would probably still choose to live in Chicago, and I'd probably still choose a house in the neighborhood I live in. I might choose a slightly more elaborate house -- or at least on on two city lots.
- Somewhere buried in my house I still have a collection of D&D compatible dice. When I roleplay on the computer or in real life (have not done that for many years) I almost always play a half-elf wizard. I've always wanted to be able to cast spells and live longer.
- Someday, I would like to own a parrot or a boa constrictor. I am fascinated by birds and snakes, but am not sure they are compatible with cats. And my husband has made it pretty clear that they may not be compatible with him.
And now the tagging part.... heh. Well, in addition to all those other facts, I'm lazy (I didn't think that being lazy counted as something weird enough to include in the list). I also know that a lot of folks that I would probably tag, prefer to pick and choose their own memes. So, I'm going to turn this one around a bit and instead invite anyone who reads my blog and would like to play along to leave a comment in my comments telling me you're going to participate. I'd love to hear from lurkers. Y'all are more than welcome to do the tagging part, should you want to. I'll have a special follow up post to this one with all the people who left me a comment with a link to their post.
I look forward to finding out a bit more about the people who check in with me every day.
(More fiber content to come, soon, I promise!)
