According to Ms. Write Again Soon, I need a kick-start to my blog, and I can't disagree! She tagged me yesterday with this task, and if I didn't religiously check her blog (when I should be doing other things), I wouldn't have realized. So, I will partake...
1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
(We'll have to let the 5th rule slide, as the only person I know who keeps a blog is Ms. Write Again Soon!)
No. 1:
My first language was German. Immediately after I was born my family moved to Germany for 3 years. Many times my parents had to take me to the neighbor's house for translations.
No. 2:
I don't want children. Mr. Pleasant Mornings and I had a conversation within our first month of dating about our mutual desire to be W.O.K. I suppose that's why we're still together! If I had a dollar for every time someone has said to us, "Oh, you've got plenty of time..." I'd be a friggin' millionaire. Well, maybe not a millionaire, but I could at least buy a pair of Manolos.
No. 3:
I knit.
No. 4:
I can't watch TV without having at least one other activity to do. It's silly really. I'll painstakingly go through the on-screen guide to find just the right show, then I'll whip out a work project or one of the magazines I need to catch up on, while simultaneously playing hallway fetch with the dog. If I simply lay there watching the TV, I will most likely fall asleep, thus not getting anything done. I think there's a message in here somewhere...
No. 5:
I danced semi-professionally for 4 years before starting my business. And I don't mean exotic dancing to pay my college loans! It was modern dance, and it was for fun.
No. 6:
My paternal ancestors came to America before the Declaration of Independence was signed.
No. 7:
I once dated a guy who later went on to become an actor in some well known movies. Teen girls worshipped him on fan sites, but the few times I went out with him I repeated the "please don't try to kiss me" prayer in my head for the duration of our dates. He reminded me of Carrot Top!
No. 8:
I have aichmophobia. My particular concerns are with people standing near me with knives in their hands (butter variety are okay), or people handing knives to me. And if you happen to touch me with the actual blade of the knife, it's all over. Yes, I'm strange.
Notes on the daily grind.
