A Game Of Tag

-
I have been tagged by my friend OC over at BearsMountain. This one took me a while, even though I have lots of quirks from which to pick. I'm not tagging anyone this time but if anyone else does this, I would be interested in seeing your lists.


The Rules:Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random, facts, habits or goals about yourself. At the end, choose 6 people to be tagged, list their names & why you tagged them. Don’t forget to leave them a comment saying “You’re it!” & to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you, so since you’re not allowed to tag me back; let me know when you are done so I can go read YOUR weird/random/odd facts, habits and goals.


  1. I don't eat when I am traveling by plane. Two things I don't like - flying and throwing up. I figure if I don't eat, I will decrease the odds of getting motion sickness



  2. I used to work in a microbiology laboratory for several years before changing careers. I've seen enough out-patient specimens in Boston Market containers to never want to eat there again. And yes, the folks in the lab do comment to each other on what you drop off.



  3. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do believe in spooks.



  4. I won't walk barefoot in a hotel room, not even in the bathroom. The shower does a number on my shoes however.




  5. I know how to ride a unicycle. Such a marketable skill I know. Is there a circus looking for a middle aged lesbian who knows how to ride a unicycle but can't juggle?



  6. Being the klutz that I am, I have torn the ACLs in both knees. One blew in self defense class, the other when I fell off a motorcycle (which I was driving).



  7. I was voted female class comedian in my high school class.



  8. I'm really good with my toes. I can pick things up with them, spread them out like fingers, scare people with them. It's fun. I'd be good at yoga if I didn't think yoga was so freaking boring.



  9. I don't think Obama can beat McCain in a general election. I would bet my unicycle on it.



  10. I drew a famous artist's blood when I worked in the laboratory - and I missed. Good move CJ. Hopefully he can still paint.

Thanks for playing!

Oh yes OC. It is true. And we would culture just about anything. And I mean anything. So glad I am out of the lab.

I don't think I was very funny in high school Chewy, but I did wear a good Halloween custom my senior year. I think that sealed the deal.

No eating, no drinking when flying. Maybe a couple of sips of water. I flew to Hawaii a few years back. I think the trip took something like 17 hours from door to door. Needless to say, I was a little woozy by the time we landed.

Hey CJ there's this stuff called xanax - it works wonders (especially when flying). You the class clown - I would have never guessed. SO...I am trying to come up with a condensed list for you but well as you may or may not know I cannot be condensed I am just there - teehee.

Fascinating list. I was surprised with #9. I wish I could disagree with. I want to, but deep down I'm afraid you're probably right. Damn it.

Hey Cristina - Looking forward to seeing your list lady. Will it be posted on your blog or on your myspace page?

Xanax huh?

Hi Karen - I think Hillary can beat McCain in the general election but not Obama. I don't think he can win the swing states. At least that is what I have been reading lately.

Hey Ruybe Jean - I know you are a big fan of the Wizard of Oz, as am I. One of my favorite movies actually. I was wondering who would catch that reference (I had a feeling it would be you).

The Ring, Part 2

-

Up until last night, I thought I had tried everything. Dishwashing soap, dental floss, olive oil, two different kinds of hand lotion, ice, and Windex. I was just about to give up. However, my friends McMeaty and McCheesy were not. First came the WD-40 and lots of tugging. Standing over the kitchen sink, McMeaty gave it his all. Unfortunately the WD-40 not only lubed up my finger but his entire hand as well. No go there. Next came the dental floss. But the hand cream I had put on after the WD-40 only made the floss slip right off my finger without moving the ring. At this point, I had been sitting on the couch with my arm elevated for about ten minutes or so. This made the swelling go down quite a bit (thank you Chewy ). McMeaty was confident between the hand lotion and the reduction in swelling that another few pulls and twists would work. I sat on the couch, arm still elevated, while he patiently moved the ring up to my knuckle. Then wth a few more twists, turns, and tugging, the rin

Smile Pretty!

In my twenties, my then girlfriend and I used to think it was a riot to take pictures of ourselves doing really stupid things. Giving ourselves weird hairstyles, wearing goofy clothes, or putting things in our teeth really made us laugh. I found these pictures today. They were taken about twenty years ago in Boston. This one is particularly lovely, bra on the outside of my clothes,hair all twisted on top of my head, raisin in my teeth. And yes, I believe I am wearing a towel for pants. This one of me reminds me of a British rock star who says no, no, no to rehab (sorry Amy). Again, a beautiful sight to behold. And lastly, my ex, she who shall not be named. I have cropped out the top of her head because I think she would sue me if she saw I put her picture up here without her permission. She is the one who started all of this raisin in the teeth foolishness and this post would not be complete without her picture.

Oops, I Did It Again

A while back I did a post about super-gluing a Mickey Mouse figurine to my middle finger. This time I have somehow gotten a ring stuck on the same finger. And I can't get it off. I put the ring on yesterday afternoon. I knew I was going to have trouble as soon as I shoved it past my knuckle. My finger is starting to get a little sore from all the tugging and possibly a little swollen, which is obviously not helping matters. Doesn't the Universe realize I can't possibly drive to work in Boston without complete and total use of this finger? It is as necessary for the commute as is a tank of gas. How will I convey my true feelings to the "left hand turn from the right lane" folks I encounter every day? I cannot be mute for my commute! Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the ring 1) without removing my finger and 2) while keeping the ring intact I would greatly appreciate it.
