No, You're Weird


In what I assume is an effort to get me to post more than once a season, Slopster has tagged me into this sordid trust game.

"The Rules : Each player of this game starts with the “6 weird things about you." People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own re: 6 weird things, as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says “you are tagged” in their comments and tell them to read your blog."

It took me a while to come up with six things to put in the 'Weird' category and not the 'Terrible Secrets' category or the 'Things That Will Get Either Me or Those Close to Me Incarcerated' category. So now, without explanation or apology:

• I had my first O while reading Fried Green Tomatoes at Whistle Stop Cafe

• From the time I was, I don't know, five? to this very day I've been listening to books on tape to fall asleep. Even at college.

• My mother used to call me Munchkin Breath or Tushy Breath, depending.

• In seventh grade, I lost my diary at school.

• I once got in a screaming match with the Cantor at my temple. The Rabbi was on my side.

• I recently unearthed a cassette recording of myself at about seven years old, singing "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" complete with British accent. (I'm from New York) It was undoubtedly part of one of many radio shows I tape-recorded. I played every character because I had no siblings.

• Bonus Weird Thing: I hate sticky things.

I tag Mama Doral and Alex and no one else because everyone else has already been tagged.
