Here are the rules:
- Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
- At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
- Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog
i've been tagged...and i don't know how to do anything fancy like make direct links to users (is it the same as on lj?? help??) plus, i'm not even sure i know 8 people on vox yet!!! anyways, here goes, my 8 random facts/habits about me:
1.
i was in the air force for a few years as a cryptological linguist. i
get a kick out of telling people who aren't impressed that i'm a stay
at home mom and hearing them go uh, uh..a crypto whato??
2.
i hate to plan things out (exception of things you need to purchase
tickets for, ie airline tickets, broadway shows, travel to see far away
friends). this annoying habit is so prevalent that if a friend asks me
to see a movie on friday when it's monday right now, it's likely i
won't want to go by friday 'just because it was planned that far out.'
but if they asked me on friday to see a movie that night then i'd go!
3.
when i go shopping i like to touch lots of things. feel the fabric,
feel the smoothness of a plate, the roughness of a welcome mat, etc.
(i also smell everything before i taste or drink it if i've never had
it before)
4.
i like to bake a LOT. that part isn't the 'weird' part =P the weird
part is the things i'm best at baking: pies, cookies, cupcakes, various
desserts i don't particularly care to eat (they taste good, just not my
thing). but the things i LOVE to eat bread (baguettes, italian bread,
ciabatta, etc) i'm not very good at baking. YET. =D i think that's a
good thing for my waistline.
5.
though my house is never at the level of cleanliness i would prefer, i
cannot stand clutter. it renders me almost useless in doing some of
the things i like to do (and would rather do). even when i have my own
household mess and clutter under control, i think about other people's
mess and clutter and it bothers me. i think i channel monica from
friends sometimes.
6.
i do not like mismatched things. my own things or other people's
things. this extends to and includes things like socks, shoes,
clothes, household items, and even skin tone and hair color. (ie
people with olive complexions cannot and should not have blond hair)
it's so bad that i cannot leave my house if i'm wearing an outfit that
requires brown shoes to match and my jacket is black. i will wear an
inappropriate for the weather jacket just to make sure it matches.
7.
procrastination drives me nuts. i'm a 'the thought has entered my mind
and i decided it was a good idea..so let's do it NOW' sort of person.
i would always rather get something done right away and then not have
it in the back of my mind nagging me then wait. i understand people
are not like this and i can't expect everyone to be like me, but i
cannot understand how waiting until the last minute does not nag them.
8.
i really like old fashioned things. if i could go back in time and
live 50 or more years ago (at a good income level) i'd be happy. as
much as i love my computer and cell phone, i'd give them up to live in
a different time.
i
don't really know how to tag anyone/and not sure who has been tagged
before, but if you read this and want to give it a go, i'd be pretty
happy!
it also occurs to me that most of the things i listed are negative traits of myself! ugh... =(
