Seven Wonders of My World
Thursday, November 8, 2007 at 09:59AM Unfit Mother tagged me! It’s been a while since I have been tagged and this one should be interesting: 7 Weird & Interesting Things About Me. Now, you all know just how much I despise talking about myself, but since I am nice, I guess I’ll do it. (See, right there is one weird and interesting thing about me you probably didn’t know - I can be nice!)
RULES:
•Link to your tagger and post rules.
•Share 7 facts about yourself, some random and some weird.
•Tag 7 people at the end of post and list their names.
•Let them know they were tagged by a comment on their blog.
Let’s see, let’s see… what haven’t I told you all already? (I think I will take Rule #2 literally and make it completely random.)
1. Yesterday, I attended the company’s quarterly meeting. During the meeting, this guy sitting in the front would stand up and add his two cents to the presentations going on. I asked my co-worker who he was, because he didn’t look familiar to me at all. Turns out he was our boss. As in my boss’s boss, the one who has been signing off on all my reviews, projects, etc. I know I will never live this one down, but I never claimed to be good at faces.
2. I went to my first concert when I was 12. We snuck in to the stadium by climbing over two fences, scaling a brick wall and sneaking by the guards. The band was Genesis.
3. Speaking of concerts, I had a dream last night that I met Radical Mama at a concert. The thing is, now I honestly feel like I know her better. I’m weird that way. Like when I dream my husband says something mean to me, I am pissed at him when I wake up and can’t shake that feeling for hours, much to his dismay and confusion.
4. I obsess over fine point pens. I can’t stand writing with medium point, my handwriting is so sloppy and all over the place. But with fine point pens, it’s neat and precise. I’ve sent many a birthday cards out late because I refused to write on them until I found a fine point pen.
5. I had a theory back in the late 80’s that Michael Jackson secretly was trying to be the human Mickey Mouse. Really, just think about it for a minute… the high pitched voice, the big white glove(s), the suspenders, the high pants, the amusement park. I still think he reveres Mickey Mouse as a role model.
6. When I was living in London, I was causally dating these three guys. A French chef my friend worked with, an English bloak I met and an Italian guy who worked in the restaurant where I was waitressing. On this one fine day, as the Italian and I were getting ready to eat lunch after our shift, the other two just randomly showed up. Surprise! Not knowing what else to do, I invited them to lunch with us. So we all sat down and had lunch. Together. At the same table. It was the one time in my life I was grateful there was such a thing as a language barrier.
7. I have a charm collection. Throughout my childhood, my best friend and I collected miniature trinkets and kept them in a special box. Most are from those machines that dispense tiny toys for a dime or a quarter. Others are from different candies that came with mini gizmos, etc. I still have it and can’t wait to pass it on to Piper. From time to time, I take it out and go through my stash, amazed at all those little treasures.
Ok, so tagging is not really my thing ya’ll, so I need seven volunteers. Anyone? Bueller?
(P.S. This was hard, I guess I’m not so weird after all! But I definitely nailed that random part.)

I read often about how bloggers dream of other bloggers in their dreams - funny. I loved #1 - so funny and so me too. See ya.
I have the same obsession about fine point pens - I just love the way my writing looks with them.
sorry, i don't do chains..... i like the one about the frenchman, the englishman, and the italian...tell us more!
Aww... shucks.
I think charm bracelets rock. I bought A one for christmas last year, and it's already lost. Maybe when she is a bit older.
I am a complete pen nerd.....is there anything better than a pen that writes well? (Well...almost anything!)
Your description of the three guy run in made me think of Phoebe in "Friends". She was performing on stage and the two guys she was dating showed up to see her!
Interesting stuff! :)
#5. You are totally on to something.
1. As we know from your familiar face post, 3. Me too! I think there is some Australian Aboriginal explanation for that, 4. Me too!, 5. MSOMN:milk spewing out of my nose
Thanks for being a good sport!
I am the same way about dreams!
I think you're on to something with that Michael Jackson theory. heehee.
Great answers! And speaking of Michael Jackson,doesn't Teri Hatcher look more and more like Michael Jackson?
