I’ve done so many of these things (including the 100 things about me list) that I’m running out of things to say. I did this “Seven things” meme back in the summertime, so I’m reposting it with one new random thing instead of coming up with eight new ones.
Tagged by Ontario Emperor. Rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. List EIGHT random facts about yourself.
3. Tag EIGHT people at the end of your post and list their names.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged.
1. I’m really short. All the women in my family are short, but I think I’m the shortest. I just barely crack 5 feet.
2. To date, my longest relationship has lasted 3 years and approximately three months. I’m looking to break that record this October. Three years and six months. Record broken. Woohoo!
3. I slept with a teddy bear well into my adult life.
4. I have weird fingernails. My nail beds are wide, and the nails flatten out when they get long. It looks bizarre, so I keep them short. (I had acrylic nails for a while, in my 20s, but the upkeep got to be both too expensive and too time-consuming for my taste)
5. I’m pretty low-maintenance, appearance-wise. I wear little (if any) makeup, I hate spending more than 5 minutes on my hair, and I’m not into fashion at all.
6. I have a weakness for sandals. I don’t buy expensive shoes, but my sandal collection is larger than it probably needs to be.
7. I hate, hate, hate “stepping in wet.” If my socks get wet (by stepping on a wet bath mat, for example), they must be changed immediately. I do everything in my power to avoid this circumstance.
um…
8.When I was in college, I joined a sorority. Oddly enough, one of the things you seem to do quite a lot of in a sorority is sing. A group of us named ourselves the “tone deaf club.” I am not tone deaf, and I know this…but many of the women in my sorority were really good singers and that intimidated me. I am slowly but surely overcoming my fear.
I have somewhat more interesting answers for the five random things meme.
I’m breaking the rules and not tagging. If anyone does choose to participate, please post a comment linking to your answers!
Congratulations on number 2!
And don’t worry about breaking the meme tagging rules. The meme seeped into the Oracle database world (after someone at Oracle whom I *didn’t* tag read my post), which resulted in some angry reactions from one person, etc. etc. etc. See this post on the topic.
About #1. Yesterday I went to the dentist, as did Hawk. I said, “My hygienist looked like Erin.” He was kind of iffy. I said, “Well, except with longer hair.” He said, “The hygienist was much taller. And had smaller boobs.” I was like, “I said she LOOKED like her, not ‘and was as tall and had tits as fabulous.'” Apparently “looks like” to a guy means “whole package,” as he proceeded to explain. So I thought, “Yeah, I guess Erin is kinda short.” I hadn’t really thought about that except that I feel like an Amazon beside you 😉
bwah! 🙂
