All About Me

My old buddy Bluez (you can visit her by clicking here) has challenged me to come up with 8 things ya'll don't already know about me.

Hell, I don't know if there are 8 things I've not blogged about at some point, but I'll give it a shot.

1. I've had one date in the past ten years, five years ago, with a guy I met in a chatroom.

2. There are no mirrors in my bedroom. There is one in the bathroom, for putting on makeup. If I could figure out a way to apply it without it, I'd get rid of that one too.

3. When I travel by plane, I am terrified someone will open the door mid flight and I'll get sucked out into oblivion. If anyone gets near the door during the flight, I silently panic. I'm not crazy about the windows either.

4. I would rather spend my time daydreaming than anything else in the world. I've spent weeks mentally decorating my imaginary dream house or planning another life.

5. I obsess over being stranded somewhere remote and having to figure out how to survive, how I would get food, shelter and how long I could make it before I croaked.

6. I once fell off a horse... while it was standing still.

7. I dropped out of high school.

8. I had a CB radio in my room when I was 16. My handle was Whistling Dixie. My best friend was Tater Tot. The long-haired, cross-eyed man with long hair and two thumbs on each hand would get on there and beg us to come meet him. He had a speech impetiment. He called me "Whittlin' Dickley."

There you have it.

Ya'll enjoy your weekend.

Hope you are watching the marathon of Dog this afternoon and evening. Thought of you and AC when I stumbled upon it.
Note: they'll have a new show Tuesday night and the family is gong to speak about the arrests and all. "Dog, The Family Speaks" is what they're calling it.

DG: Thanks for sharing your "8 things"! I'd love to hear more :)

Bluez: Yes, memes are a great way to get to know people better and they're a lifesaver when you're stuggling for something to write.

karen: I'm looking forward to that special on Tuesday. I'm curious to hear what they'll have to say.

kenju: Olive Oil? That's priceless! Did hubby go by Popeye? I had to ask lol.
