i'm it

apparently i’ve been tagged. kjersten tagged melissa, who now has tagged me, among others.

it is now my duty to think of eight random facts about myself and/or habits i have and share them with you. but then i get to tag eight more people. hee. here goes nuthin’:

1 [fact] i have been bitten by a squirrel and a dog. fortunately, not at the same time.

2 [fact] when i eat, i must chew each bite a number—an inordinately large number—of times before swallowing. ballpark? twenty-five to forty. my husband, in stark contrast, will chew three or four times before swallowing. this has resulted in much meal-time boredom on his behalf.

3 [habit] did i also mention i talk a lot during meals? poor david.

4 [habit] i sing along with music. i’ve heard this is a problem for others when the music is in the background of a television show or movie, and my joining in covers up the dialogue.

5 [fact] my first kiss happened when i was twenty.

6 [habit] like melissa, i talk in my sleep. i have also been known to sing and scream bloody murder.

7 [fact] when i was in fifth grade i got pulled off of the playground and into the principal's office because i was sitting on a swing to keep my skirt from getting dirty. i wasn't swinging (which, for anyone who didn't go to a chicago public school in the seventies, wasn't allowed).

8 [habit] i crack my neck, knuckles, wrists, back, knees, ankles, and toes. it's a wonder i'm still in one piece.


i now tag:

alli
audrey
digressions
lao
mdog
megan
the profound brunette
stu


you're it!

In response to AMO(F)'s facts/habits...

1) ouch.

2) Um hum... early on when we were dating, AMO was freeked out when I was staring at her during a meal. I was counting chews. It was around 35. She then did it to me, it was around 4. Total Fact, full truth.

4) I'm getting used to it... she has a great voice. ;)

5) not to me.

So...you talk during meals and chew inordinately. Yet you don't seem the kind to talk with your mouth full. How do you do it?
