I've been tagged...

by Amanda and it's been a while since I did a meme, so, here ya go -

first - the rules

Each player lists 8 facts/habits about him or herself. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog. *I'm probably not doing this part because I don't know that there are even 8 people who still read my blog, and I'm really bad about leaving people comments... but here's the 8 things about me -

1) I can't eat bananas unless they are at least 15% green - if they have less than that, or contain any brown, I can't eat them and either make them into banana bread or let them rot on my counter until my husband throws them out.

2) Grown women who insist upon speaking in that affected little girl voice irritate me to the point that I can almost guarantee I will eventually be arrested for assaulting one of them.

3) I am deathly afraid of swimming in the ocean or any body of water in which visibility is not 100%.

4) I have very few close friends because I have enough issues to qualify for a subscription and it's usually easier not to have to explain all of them to people*.

5) Once I consider someone a close friend, he or she is stuck with me.

6) When I meet someone new whom I think might have friend potential, I get all excited and have to find out everything about him or her - 9 times out of 10, my sleuthing turns up something that I consider to be a fatal character flaw (ie: writing "Family Ties" fan fiction, being a vegan, using "your" when it should be "you're") and my interest instantly evaporates.

7) I'm terribly fickle, when something is my favorite, it's rarely my favorite for very long - I've always got a new cd that I love (currently it's Damien Rice "9") or a new food that I can't live without (right now it's fried avocado) or a new eyeshadow that I think is perfect (I've got this red and gold sparkly mix that makes me obscenely happy).

8) I never listen to the radio - but I have to have music when I'm driving - I am a master of finding and changing CDs while I'm on the road.



Whew - you have no IDEA how long it took me to come up with 8 things about myself - I really am useless without Google for research.




*if you know about two or more of my issues that means that I consider us close friends
