6 random facts, brought to you by metatronis

[grrgoyl]

You can thank metatronis for tagging me for this. I'm not normally one to succumb to peer pressure, but I can't deny my love for Roxie.

Post 6 very random facts about yourself, then you tag 6 people on your friend list to do the same:


1. I began reading at about the age of 4 or 5. Always with my nose in a book, everyone assumed I was looking at the pictures. One night my babysitter challenged me to prove my claim that I was reading (the book was Disney's "The Plot to Capture Robin Hood") and informed my parents when they got home, to their complete astonishment. The amount of remarkable achievements in my life has gone rapidly downhill from there.

2. If there was one thing I could change about myself physically, I would get rid of my breasts. I hate them. No, I REALLY hate them. They're completely useless and keep my clothes from fitting properly.

3. I still feel as old as I've felt my entire life -- 20-something.

4. I never played right as a child. While all the girls were playing horses at recess, I was busy fighting the boys off from picking on them. I don't understand the point of your game of horses, but I will defend to the death your right to play it.

5. If I have to guess at information and turn out to be right, or if I have to find a page in a book or a specific CD and flip to almost the exact spot on the first try, I always think to myself, "Oh my GOD you're good!!!" It's one of my few joys in life, give me a break.

6. All things considered, I am generally happier being alone than with other people.


I'm also not normally one for tagging others, but I'm feeling ornery today.

I'm impressed by your #1 and this made me laugh: I don't understand the point of your game of horses, but I will defend to the death your right to play it.

Good list! I will play along after I eat my dinner. And just know that I usually don't acknowledge these tagging things!

Thank you and thank you : )

I am indeed honored if you play along in that case. I'm interested in your answers, but I tagged you primarily because you are among the very small percentage of my already pitifully small friends list with whom I exchange regular comments. Let that be a lesson to you! (j/k)

[vagynafondue.livejournal.com]

Same here! It's always the same 10% of my f-list that comment. I don't always care but sometimes there are things I post that really take a lot out of me and then it turns out to be a dud and I feel stupid.

Fickle LJ!

I know the feeling. It's enough to make weaker, less committed writers than ourselves quit.

A child security guard! Excellent.

Rarrrrr!

I'm sure a few people would be quite put out if you got rid of the breasts.

Horses? That's ancient. We used to play Power Rangers. Since the boys played too, we never needed any defending.

You might have to make some new friends, because I am out of interesting quirks that I can list. I'm not as deep as the internet wants me to be.

[grrgoyl.livejournal.com]

Which people? Anyone I know? And since they don't have to lug them around, I put it to them that my opinion matters the most.

Power Rangers? Hoo boy. Power Rangers weren't even a twinkle in Japan's eye during my school days. Thanks for making me feel like Methuselah.

Unfortunately I'm ever so much better at holding on to the same tired old friends than at making new ones. You're off the hook.

I don't know enough about myself to post six random facts about...myself.

[grrgoyl.livejournal.com]

Ah, you pansy. Now I remember why I never tag anyone.
