Dracona has tagged me for this meme. She came out of lurk mode to tag me. Who else is out there lurking and has a blog that I don’t know about? Speak up so I can check you out.

Rules:
1. Link to your original tagger and list these rules in your post
2. Share 7 facts about yourself in the post
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post, leave their names & links to their blogs
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged

I don’t like tagging. Memes come to me to die. I am going to give virtual blowjobs though and list seven blogs that I think you should check out.

Seven facts about me…

I hate being in an elevator with one other person. I’d rather be in one that’s crowded. If there’s just one other person in there they want to talk to you. I usually take the stairs.

If I do get in an empty elevator, I immediately start slamming on the button to close the door so I don’t have to share my ride.

Sometimes I have really weird thoughts. Wouldn’t it be funny if I set a fire in the bathroom trash can at work? How bad would it hurt if I just gassed my car and zoomed off of the St. Johns River bridge on my way to work? Could I really get a pinky all the way up Stinky Dog’s nose? Or Sweety’s? Wouldn’t it be hilarious to wake him up by screaming like a banshee and then pretending to be asleep when he jolts awake? Is it possible to bead Tiny Dog’s coochie hair? People, the list goes on.

I wish I was good at something. Besides batshit crazy.

My sense of direction is complete and total shit. Sweety likes to go driving around and then ask me where we are or what direction our house is. I’m generally wrong. I figure as long as I’m still in Florida that I’m okay.

I’m loyal. Like, if I am your friend and you go crazy (as long as you haven’t done anything shitty to me), I will speak until I am blue in the face to justify your actions. On second thought, I don’t know if you’d call it loyal or delusional.

Sometimes I lay in bed with my earplugs in and pretend that I’m the only person in the world.

If that’s not enough about me, you can go here to see previous posts of this nature.

The Chosen Ones…

Amy: Amy’s Musings Because she’s as nifty as the day is long. I like the hell out of her. And her family. They seem like really neat peeps.

The Mom: Attentive Aphorist I love reading her point of view on things and she posts a lot. I always know there will be something interesting to read whenever clicking over there.

Thomas: My Own Personal Piece of Doom Cake Because he is a crazy, angry, intelligent person and I get a charge out of him. My heart sings when I see a new post or tweet.

Bekah: Eureka Blyth Yes, you have to sign in to read but you only have to do it once! Her kid is freaking cute and sometimes you may find a drunken IM of mine over there. She takes fantastic photos.

Cissy Strutt: Ginger Stick Lovely photos all over the place. And? Wombat photos! Sometimes there are wombat photos! Be still my heart.

Jeni: Gray? I’ve been reading her in some form or another for a few years now. I like reading about her everyday stuff. It’s kind of like I’m reading a friend’s diary. You can all thank her for the recent rash of video posts here. She inspired me!

Naomi: Here In The Hills Naomi has had a ton of life experiences and she tells about them so nicely. With photos! I love seeing all of the photos from back in the day and today off of her porch.

Midwestern City Boy & California Girl: Married In Ohio Not Safe For Work! Not only do they have naked photos, they have a love for each other that really comes through in their posts. I think it’s incredibly sweet. I like not only the nakedness but the regular “every day” sort of posts.

Joey Polanski: The Joey Polanski Show Joey is a different kind of cat. I’ll admit that it took me about 2 weeks of reading his blog to get it. Misspellings drive me nuts but once I figured out his language, it was all good. Sometimes, it’s the comments that make the posts.

Mike: Tongue In Check Sometimes serious. Sometimes not so serious. Always with photos of good looking chicks or chihuahuas. How can you not like a chihuahua owner?

Okay, I picked more than seven and there were more of you that I wanted to put up there. Really? Go troll my blogroll. ALL good reads over there.

Here are some things that surely you will appreciate knowing about me.

When I pick up an unplugged toaster – I always worry that there might be some leftover electricity in there that’s just waiting to shock me.

If someone happens to leave just a few swallows of milk in the jug, I will throw it away even if it’s not near the expiration date. I think milk sours quicker if there’s just a little bit of it.

I used to worry that if I went to sleep with the blanket over my head that I’d get SIDS and die. I don’t worry about that anymore. But I still leave an air hole…just in case.

I have conditioned myself so that I cannot sleep unless I have earplugs in. Even if I’m somewhere quiet. It’s something about the feeling of them in my ears that I need.

Poking people I don’t like with a thumbtack is a favorite fantasy of mine. Not a flat thumbtack. One of those that you can hold easily. So it can be yanked out and used to poke again and again.

You can find other weird things about me here & here.

Patti_Cake was kind enough to slap me with a me-me. I’m supposed to tell you 7 weird things about me and then tag 7 other people. I’ve done this kind of thing before and I tell you people pretty much everything, so I wasn’t able to think up 7 more things to reveal. I did manage to scrape up three things that haven’t been previously shared.

I love eating at Chick-Fil-A because they serve their chicken nuggets in little boxes with lids on them. After I’m done eating, I get to fold my trash up and put it in the little boxes before throwing it away. You wouldn’t believe how thrilling that is to me. Really. To see those closed up boxes and know that just moments before they were full of chicken but now they’re full of trash and you can’t even tell since the lids are closed. Bliss.

When I’m in a public bathroom, I won’t leave the stall until the bathroom is empty. I don’t know why, but I don’t like walking out of the stall and seeing other people in there. If I must leave the bathroom while it is occupied, I will just dart out of the stall and leave. And that means not washing my hands. Yucky – yes. But it’s not like I touched anything in the place with my mitts anyway and I’m usually able to wait til the room is empty.

Whenever I walk by a mirror, I can’t help but make a face. I curl my lips back and hiss and then make the kind of sound that I think a squirrel makes when it’s nibbling nuts. If I’m not holding anything, I might take my fingers and yank my eyes back til they’re little slits.

I’m not tagging anybody but feel free to share anything weird about yourself in the comments. Inquring minds want to know!
