About Moi

Sebastyne tagged me with 6 Random things about Me. I've done this a few times, but since I am my favourite subject I'm sure I can come up with 6 more things about moi.

The Rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write 6 random things about yourself.
4. Tag 6 people and link to them.
5. Let each person know they are tagged.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

So, here goes:

1. I was in several choirs as a kid ... but thankfully I mostly lip synced.

2. There are some words I never, ever say ... but I have typed them (mostly because Olga made me, lol). Anyway, fart is one of them. Another is horny. I dislike both of those words and I don't think I've ever said them ... well maybe once - for comedic effect.

3. I didn't learn to drive a car until I was 32.

4. I'm destructive. I can walk in a room and break or knock something over without even trying. Well, to be honest I never try to break or knock over things.

5. I hate the part of Jeopardy where they talk to the contestants to get to know a little about them. I turn the channel or mute it when that part comes on. Which is what I'm doing right now as I type this.

6. I've always been drawn to people that most people ignore. I think it's because as a kid I was often ignored yet I knew I was a very interesting person ... so logic led me to conclude that other ignored people must be interesting too. Which they are.

Now, in the spirit of giving I'm tagging everyone! Mwahahaha. Hey - who knows you may be like me right now and low on blog inspiration, in which case a tag can come in very handy.

Hi Drowsey! I think my dad's fave word was "fart". All you had to do was go, "hey dad..FART!" and he'd crack up laughing. Oh well. He was a plumber. Must go w/ the territory. hahahahaha

tarheelrambler said...

I'm trying to think of words I never use...and I can't think of any. Well, there are words I don't use in mixed company...meaning polite people and impolite people. :0) Great post, Drowsey.

Hungry Mother said...

It looks like multiple comments are

Hungry Mother said...

the order of the day.

Jay said...

I hate that little interview part of Jeopardy too. Mostly because they always talk about all the exotic places they've been, or tell a funny story about grad school in England or something that makes me jealous.

If I were ever on Jeopardy the only funny story I could tell during that part of the show would be the one about the transvestite hooker in Dallas. ;-)

Irish Chicken Soup said...

I thought I was the only human being that had certain words that she just cannot use...and not even the ones that are neccessarily expected. lol.

And ignored people truly are the best.

I'll make sure I do this when I get a chance even though my blog is already chalk full of useless random lists. :)

Babs (Beetle) said...

You know I always think you are a lot like me in many ways, or is it that I'm a lot like you?

I am 100% with you on No2 and all the way on No 6 too!

Sandi said...

I can totally relate to #4. A friend once told me I'm the only person she knows who can trip over air!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I brought you something because I heard you were chilly ....

Happy Solstice!

Drowsey Monkey said...

speedy & nursey - I see I missed the party last night! lol And yes, Nurse,there is another word I don't like but I don't even type that one! Well, there are many I wouldn't type. :)

jojo - oh no! LOL My parents never used words like that - I never even heard most of them until I was in my 20s! Seriously!

nester - ya think? LOL Well, where I lived before that had great public transportation - didn't really need a car.

lee - oh there are 100s I'd never use and detest hearing. As I said in my comment to jojo above ... many I never heard until I was an adult ... and I managed to have conversations without them prior to that! LOL

hm - omg...speedy & olga like multiple, triplical, comments!!! lol

jay - Oh I know! I just find I wanna slap them. Shaddup! I look forward to the Dallas transvestite post in the new year ;)

irish - ah yes, useless random lists are great. And I can think of lots of words I never use...they're icky, lol.

babs - LOL ... yes I think we do have A LOT in common!

sandi - omg .. I've had people tell me that too! That's freaky! lol

speedy - that is the prettiest blanket ever! And it's a heating blanket - cool. I mean warm. Thank you!

barbara - the tag is optional ;) And yes, I've found #6 to be very true.

don - oh, maybe that was a chair - I thought it was an electric blanket ... a chair is cool too! And yes, Alex ... it drives me when he gives the answer like he knew what it was. Such judgment in his voice! LOL

olga - wrong blog ;)

tt - Happy Solstice to you too :) I hear you're getting snow out your way too ... it's a white Christmas across Canada this year.

Jenn Thorson said...

The ignored folks are the best, because they have a lot of interesting things going on they otherwise don't get to share. You're probably doing them a huge service by getting to know them-- and enriching yourself, too.

You nice Monkey!

meleah rebeccah said...

Shut up!! You didn't learn ow to drive a car until you were 32? How is that even possible?

PS: I hate the word horny too.

Lana Gramlich said...

Interesting things! I may do the meme later. I've just been SO swamped lately! (Pardon the Southern Louisiana pun.)

Teena in Toronto said...

Nice to learn more about you!

Drowsey Monkey said...

jenn - I am a nice monkey, LOL! Actually, ignored people are interesting ... just often introverts.

meleah - it's true! I used public transportation or my hubby drove, sad eh? LOL

lana - we say swamped too ... even tho I've never seen a swamp, LOL.

teena - fascinating, eh? ahaha
