Meme?

November 29, 2007 at 8:06 pm (Friends, Internet, Life)

So I’ve been tagged for a meme.   Thanks to Paige for tagging me, and subsequently explaining in detail what exactly it meant and what I had to do.  Again, my apologies for being stupid about this stuff.  I’m basically a blog virgin; that’s my excuse.

So, anyway, onto “the rules” (which I plan on breaking — more on that later).

The Rules:

  • Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.
  • Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.
  • Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
  • Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So, 7 random and/or weird facts.  Here we go:

1.)  I have a great love for all things Eastern European.  Partly because of my Polish heritage, and partly because of my travel experiences in Eastern Europe which I hold near and dear to my heart.

2.)  I tend to tear up fairly easily.  Not just when I’m sad — no, when I’m happy, mad, excited, emotional, frustrated, or laughing.  I think it’s hereditary — all of the women (and some of the men) in my family are the same way.

3.)  Possibly nothing makes me happier than seeing a good musical.  Generally the cheesier the better.  And yes this does include musical films intended for tweens.  I know this is very dorky.

4.)  I am and always have been a dog lover but just recently have started to come around to liking (some) cats thanks to getting to know the furry felines of friends of mine (such as this cutie here.)

5.)  Possibly my biggest bad habit is procrastination.  I get majorly stressed out when trying desperately to finish something when the deadline is approaching, yet it doesn’t seem to keep me from procrastinating again and again. 

6.)  I love the night.  I don’t know why but often times it is more appealing to stay up all night than it is to sleep.  There is something about a night time vibe that nothing during the day can replicate.  I can also get by on ridiculously little sleep, short term at least.

7.)  I’m 31 years old and still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up.

Now for the rule breaking.  The only people I know with blogs are those of you who have kindly commented on mine (some of you whom I know, and some who I only know through your words.  And those of you whom I know have already been tagged for this meme.)  So here are the new rules:  If you are reading this, you have been tagged.  If you have a blog, go ahead and link it in the comments section of this post.  If you don’t blog, feel free to post your list right in the comments section.  Frankly the idea of all of us sharing 7 strange/random/wonderful/weird facts about ourselves gives me the warm fuzzies.  (And yes I will now sign off before I start humming “It’s A Small World After All.”)

    Well I’ll cheat a little and pattern mine after yours…

    1) I love travel and photography.

    2) My heritage is Irish and Austrian and all my grandparents were immigrants to this country.

    3) Not into musicals. Love music though, fairly wide variety or rock, pop, classical.

    4) Always been a cat person, although as a child I took care of a neighbor’s dog.

    5) Oh gosh yes, a perfectionism and procrastination cycle, oh how I wish I could break out of it.

    6) Night can be neat, walking in the solitude, looking up at the sky.

    7) Always knew what I wanted to be since I was introduced to computers in high school. I like the real big data centers, measured by the acre. So powerful, interesting, and complex. The little ones (PCs) can be a pain at times though.

    BTW – LOL at you breaking into “It’s A Small World After All.”

    Oh boy, minor victory, I posted now instead of waiting until I could come up with my own unique weird list. Maybe I’ll do that (if I don’t procrastinate). LOL
