I've been tagged.
My dear friend E.A.P. has given me the honor (?) of having to list 5 random things about myself. (Rules of the game: Post 5 WEIRD and RANDOM facts about yourself, then at the end of the list the names of 5 people who are next in line to do this. Also leave a comment on their blog to let them know.)
Because I am a girl, I naturally do these sorts of things when requested. I've done the whole panty exchange thing, too - only I never actually received any panties out of the deal. WHAT A SHAM! Anyway...here are five weird and random things about me:
1) Once when I was young (maybe 4-ish??) I decided that I wanted to look like Abraham Lincoln. So, I did the only practical thing. I drew a beard on my face with a black Sharpie marker...it took days to come off.
2) I can't stand it when other people touch me with their feet. It actually makes me feel physically grossed out. Especially if their toenails happen to touch my bare skin...it's giving me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it, so let's move on.
3) I have a friend whose dad is a very intimidating college professor. When I was roughly 13 and I met him for the first time after several hours of girlish giddiness, for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself to him in a ditzy voice and say, "Hi! My name is Ginger!" I actually went through with it. He's looked at me funny ever since.
4) I hate airports. It's not flying. It's airports. Going to the airport makes me a nervous wreck - even if I'm just pulling up to the curb to pick someone up. I don't know why. This is perhaps the most irrational thing about me. I've had this airport anxiety WAY before 9/11...so there is no feasible explanation for it. On my most recent trip...the TSA lost my boarding pass as I was being "screened". This sort of thing doesn't help my anxiety problems.
5) I love brussel sprouts. I always have.
Now that I've told you these weird, random and boring things...I guess I have to "tag" others. So, redhurt, hans-georg, and k.flanagan, you're up! (yeah...I only tagged three...but I don't know anyone else who would do it).

I like brussel sprouts too. You throw a little butter and salt on them, and man, you've got yourself a nutritious treat.
I like them too...and I've always loved broccoli, so go figure.
Don't feel like I'm trying to rain on the parade, but I don't want to post my 5 weird things just yet because I just threw a sweet post up last night and don't want to bury it yet. And also because I'm going to have a hard time finding 5 weird things about me. I'm just too cool and normal for that.
You aren't the only one with an anti-foot fetish. Feet are disgusting. Just kidding, but seriously- sometimes I wish sandals had never been invented.
Charles, that's just how I like my brussels! Redhurt, I totally understand because I've heard your most recent posts are out of this world excellent. BUT I do protest the assertion that there are no weird and random things about you. I remember some stories about junior high and fanny packs.....
I've punched girls before for touching me with their feet. It's a phobia.
And I don't want to recover from it, because really? Think about feet. And think about why anyone would like them, and the negative always outweighs the positive, unless you put a lot of currency into the positive, in which case you're a foot fetishist.
Yuck.
