7 random things about me

This is my first game of Blog tag. I’m very excited. Thank you very much, Mike Davis, for letting me play.

7 random things about me.

1. I’m missing a bunch of teeth. I was born with neither wisdom teeth nor my last set of molars, and had a pair of baby teeth extracted when I was a kid, because they had no adult counter parts and were sinking into my jaw. They’re on the bottom, so when I smile everything looks very normal.  Sometimes peanuts get stuck in the spaces.

2. I talk in my sleep and don’t remember any of it. I’ve had entire phone conversations that I couldn’t recall. It’s also not only in English. I once woke the only Jewish guy I ever dated by speaking German loudly. Needless to say, he was a little freaked out.

3. I was a New Jersey State representative in the national geography bee when I was 12. I lost.

4.  I really really really want to get my nose pierced but am afraid that I’m too old/what my parents will say/that I’m not cool enough.

5. I hate to be cold. It makes me miserable, crabby, grumpy… I morph into a total super bitch. I would much prefer to burn to a crisp at the Equator than to spend one minute freezing my ass off waiting for a bus in sub 50 degree temperatures.  Strangely, I’ve never lived anywhere it was warm year round.

6. I despise the color orange. I think its an absolutely heinous hue and should be reserved solely for traffic related objects. There was a kid in college who only wore orange, his entire dorm room was orange (my friend lived down the hall) and he had died his hair orange. I would get violent every time I laid eyes on him.

7. I have my dream house totally designed in my head. Maroon, two stories, vegetable and flower garden in the back, antique baby grand piano, wrap around porch with a swing. My perfect wedding however involves sand and  no shoes.

Now, in accordance with the 7-Random-and-Weird-Things-About-Me meme, I must tag 7 more people to participate in the next round.

I’m tagging:

Here are the rules I followed as established by Shannon:

Here are the rules for my fellow bloggers:

• Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post – some random, some weird.
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

Not a bad way to get back into the swing of blogging, right?

HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL! xoxo
