 ***RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.***

  1. While most people I know have a curled up tiny pinkie toenail, all mine are full sized. My toes are also long and very finger-like even though I have relatively small feet.

  2. In many ways I prefer winter over summer. As I have gotten older I find myself less tolerant of hot, humid Michigan summers.

  3. I drink a minimum of one pot of coffee a day, every day. I like cheap, gas station quality coffee the best.

  4. I am embarrassed by the fact I have found myself drinking Coors Light beer lately, because the company is ran by NAZIS. I just like it...But will stop.

  5. Cats are my favorite pet. I respect their independence. Dogs, on the other hand, come off as brown nosers.

  6. I love getting mail. I think it comes from living out in the country as a kid. Going out to get the mail was sometimes the highlight of the day. I also get a lot of magazines delivered.

  7. I can't imagine living without the internet. I'm online a minimum of 12 hours a day, that includes work though.

  8. I don't really dream about sexual topics. I mostly have dreams that would make a decent action movie or something out of a Salvidor Dali painting.

  9. I am not much of a gamer, but I want a Nintendo DS for Christmas bad!

  10. I love science, but it has let me down. 1950's-1960's Science Fiction has taught me that we should be living on the moon and colonizing planets by now. Oh and where the hell is my hover car!?

I have been tagged by [info]bone_machine18
Write a journal entry for this meme with six random facts about yourself.
Then pick six of your friends list and tag them - no tag backs.
These rules should be included in your entry.

1). Even though I haven't peed the bed since I was 11 years old, 18 years ago, I still sometimes worry about peeing the bed if I stay over at someone's house.

2). I have a full regular toenail on my little toes. Most people I know have little curled up nails there instead.

3). I'm afraid of needles, specifically having blood drawn.

4). I am writing this from Las Vegas. I've been here almost 2 weeks and have gambled around $5.

5). Movie theaters make me nervous

6). The Silver Surfer is my favorite comic book character

26th-Nov-2005 12:52 am - List
 Write 20 random facts about yourself and then tag the same amount
of people as minutes it takes you to write the facts.


  1. I live life in a constant state of impatience with others

  2. I love olives and could eat jars of them in one sitting, black or green

  3. I am often verbally abusive

  4. I like to read about science and would have loved to be a scientist, but I have no mind for mathematics

  5. I read around 20 magazines a month

  6. One of my biggest fears is going blind

  7. My eyes are blue

  8. I can remember stupid things like episodes of shows or commercials I saw once when I was 5 years old

  9. I don't watch sitcoms or new tv shows because I don't want to make the commitment

  10. It's painful for me to sit and watch a movie at the theater. It makes me very uncomfortable

  11. I'm embarrassed that I don't spell very well

  12. I don't believe in god, not because of a traumatic experience like being raped by a priest or being maimed by a bible, but because it makes no sense to me and is illogical.

  13. I hate to sleep, I hate the idea of sleep

  14. I love cats

  15. I like the flavor of orange, like in gum or candy

  16. I drink way too much coffee

  17. I've never ordered soup in a restaurant or fast food joint

  18. I wish I would have went away to college

  19. It bums me out that the singer Beck is a Scientologist, he seems like a decent guy otherwise

  20. I have crummy teeth. I should have them all yanked and eat all the candy I want



Ok, [info]indierockspook pegged me to write this about a week ago and I have been working on it/forgetting to finish it ever since. Therefore, everyone on my list would probably be pegged by me to do one. So, I figure make your own list if you'd like.
