Random, Some Might Even Say Haphazard...
I've been tagged by Eva at A Striped Armchair to reveal 8 little-known facts about myself.
The Guidelines:
Players start off with 8 random facts about themselves.
They post the rules in their blog entry.
They tag 8 people and post their names and location.
They leave the tagged a comment telling them that they've been tagged.
1. As a staunch bookworm and shameless bibliomaniac, it's only fitting and proper that I gave birth to my only child in 1984.
2. I have music earworms every day, but sometimes, I also have poetry earworms! I enjoy my Dorothy Parker earworms the most, and my Arthur Hugh Clough earworms the least.
3. Blushing with shame, I must admit that I still have trouble reciting my cell phone number in Korean, even after 2-and-a-half years.
4. I visit the black market from time to time, wondering what "fell off the truck" at the nearby military bases. In response to the inevitable query, if I say I'm American, they jack up the prices. Usually, I just let CanadaBoy talk while I stand there and smile and try to look like I might have a maple leaf flag tattooed somewhere on my person.
5. Speaking of tattoos, I do have one: A small, blue heart on my left shoulder blade. I wish I'd had it put somewhere that I could enjoy it more easily, but on the other hand, I haven't tired of it or regretted it yet.
6. Ginnie And The New Girl, by Catherine Woolley, was the first novel I ever read. This was in 3rd grade, and I've been on the go, literature-wise, ever since.
7. For about a year, I went to midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but my most-watched movie is actually All That Jazz (71 times). The first time, MEM and I saw it either for free or very cheaply on "Movie Night" at one of the dormitories at the southwest Oklahoma university we attended.
8. My favorite snack is popcorn and pickled jalapeno peppers together in one big bowl. It's terrific --all my favorite tastes and textures together -- crunchy, salty and spicy. Sometimes, it's a dinnertime choice. Maybe tonight is one of those times.
I'm not sure that I can scrape up 8 people to tag, but I do want to tag joemmama over at Life Happens While Books Are Waiting.
