Well, I took a short lived stand against tagging, but I give in. It's fun and helpful on lazy blog days. I have been tagged by Tammie and Elizabeth to name 7 random/weird facts about myself. Although I am going to break the rules and tag everyone. I would love to hear your 7 weird/random facts in the comment box!!!
I love that I have been tagged twice. I think it really exhibits what a strangely tight community the blogging world is.
So, without further ado here are 14 (7 for Tammie and 7 for Elizabeth) weird/random facts about yours truly.
7 Weird/Random Facts for Elizabeth
- I eat more ketchup than any human probably should. My Mom bought me a ketchup bottle pin which I proudly wear on my jacket. Truly I eat just plain ketchup. I could eat it with a spoon or slurp it like soup, suck it up through a straw. Hook it to my veins! I love ketchup or catsup.
- I am just about done with my MA in art history and my area of interest is French Baroque. If you are not an art snob then you won't understand, but this makes me an outsider. For some reason it is forbidden to love French Baroque, but I do, I really do.
- I briefly modeled for an unnamed (it must remain unnamed) cosmetic company. It was really really really weird.
- I used to sleep in my younger brother's room when I was little because I was scared of mummies, as in Egyptian mummies. I read some frightening book about mummies and jackals, it really freaked me out.
- I have six double jointed toes.
- I read magazines from back to front.
- I am very arrogant about my handwriting. Eric becomes disgusted (in good humor) with my arrogance, which makes me go extra wild with my scrawling script. I would says it borders on ridiculous.
- When I was in London I was in desperate need of new shoes. I stopped at a shoe store and asked about size conversions. The store clerk asked me what US size shoe I wear and then laughed at me when I told him that I wear a size 12. He said that they don't carry my size anywhere in the country and then continued to laugh at me.
- I have two tattoos. Sorry Grandma, but I have had them for a decade!
- If someone pokes me on one side I have to poke the other to make it even. My Dad and Eric love to exploit this.
- I laugh uncontrollably at the most inappropriate times (church, work meetings, at lectures). I laugh so hard that I cry. My family calls it going over the edge.
- I have been vegetarian since 1999 and vegan since 2000.
- I am very distantly related to Lorenzo Lamas.
- I have a small gap in my front teeth and I can shoot water through it. Seriously I can shoot water like 15 feet! It is amazing.
