I’ve been tagged!

SJ over at And All the Jones Men tagged me for a meme in which I am to make a list of 6 weird things about myself. This is the first time I’ve been tagged ouside of the realm of live journal, and I must say, it’s quite exciting. It’s like, somebody out there in internetland (SJ, specifically) is actually reading this and wants to read more about me. Weird! In a good way!

So, anyway. On to the list. Which will be bulletted, rather than numbered, to celebrate the fact that I no longer have to deal with ugly bullets.

Here’s the official rules, or something.

Here are the rules – Each player of this game starts with the “6 Weird Things about You.” People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you are tagged’ in their comments and tell them to read your blog!”

  • I don’t like eggs. I think they taste awful, no matter how they’re cooked. (Unless, of course they’re baked into some sort of dessert-y goodness.) Sometimes just the smell of them will trigger my gag reflex. And the weirdest part is that I really want to like eggs. Especially when I see an omlette — it looks so good with all that cheese and meat and mushroom goodness oozing out of that golden-brown exterior. But when I try to take a bite and taste those eggs, it’s all over. I just can’t do it.
  • You know how kids sometimes get so thirsty that they down a whole glass of water in one big drink and then when they finally come up for air they’re practically gasping? I do that at least twice a week. I just get really thirsty sometimes and nothing tastes better than a giant drink of water.
  • I love wearing jewelry, but I always forget about it. On the few mornings that I remember and take time to put on earrings and a necklace, I always feel better about the way I look all day. But most mornings it doesn’t even cross my mind, so my jewelry spends the vast majority of its life in the jewelry box.
  • I rarely eat a meal entirely made up of cold foods. Even in the summer when it’s stifling hot out, I always want a warm meal. A gooey, melty sandwich or a plate of steaming pasta or a bowl of soup or a slice of warmed-up pizza always sounds better to me than anything cold like a deli sandwich.
  • I have small, pudgy feet with teeny, tiny toenails that I like to keep really short. I hate the feeling of scratchy toenails. So I keep them really short. And I love them that way.
  • Speaking of my feet, I dropped 2 shoe sizes when I was in college. Not because my feet shrank, but because I realized when working at a dance apparrel and shoe store that I was wearing shoes that were way too big for me. I got so accustomed to fitting people in dance shoes that absolutely must be snug that I could no longer stand the feeling of my foot sliding all around my size 8 shoes. Now I wear a size 6; my shoes fit my feet like gloves (or socks, I guess) and my feet have never been happier.

So, there you have it. I’m a great big weirdo. Now to tag 6 more people to reveal their weridnesses:

Love is Blonde
Cheaper than Therapy
A Dingo Ate My Baby
Weekday Wisdom
Adventures in Juggling
Mom, Ma’am, Me

In other news, I just got back from a sneak preview of The Holiday, which was totally cheesy and so of course I absolutely loved it. It was so adorable and it put a great big smile on my face. And making it much more adorable was the fact that Jim Halpert was in it. Definitely worth venturing out of the house in the bitter (read: 3 degrees) cold.

    Thanks for the tag! And that bullet about the pudgy feet with TINY toenails….I could have written that!!!!!!! I get OCD when my toenails get long (and by long I mean still way way below the edge of my toe) and will rip them off. Gross, I know.

    Coolness! I’ve done this one before but there’s a TON of weird things about me, so I’m sure I can come up with a few more to report. :-)

    I have pudgy little hands and fingers, but unfortunately my feet are a little big for my size (5′1″ and I wear a size 7 or 7 1/2… but my feet did grow when I was pregnant.)

    Now I’ve got to get caught up with what’s been going on with you these last couple of weeks. I’ve been a bad blog friend.

    how can you not like eggs? you’re weird.

    that’s why we like you.

    i do that water thing. when i was younger i had a GIANT (like 32 oz) insulated mug and i would fill it completely full of ice and water and sleep with it by my bed. i’d wake up thirsty at 3 am and down the whole thing and it was always so awesomely cold. i’d have to add more water in the middle of the night sometimes.

    A sneak peak of The Holiday? I’m jealous. That movie does look super cute. Or should I wait until it comes out on DVD?

    It’s interesting to see what weird things people share about themselves! I’m glad you enjoyed taking part in the fun. Oddly enough for me, I had a really hard time coming up with six things for some reason, then I couldn’t stop thinking about it and had a list of a thousand. I knew I wasn’t normal!

    Love your new look by the way, it’s awesome!
