I am so behind on memes! You have all been doing this for years. Here is an old meme:
TEN Random Things You May Not Know About Me:
I was born with an extra thumb that was cruelly taken from me at 2 months. I’m allergic to egg whites, penicillin, and sulfa. My first act as a fertilized egg was to divide incorrectly, leading to a simple sacral dimple. I took fencing in high school and disarmed my opponent while he was laughing at how awkward I looked. I Delivered singing telegrams in a superhero costume and balloon boobs. I suffer from cankles. I can’t swim. I was supposed to have been named Amy Faye until my Aunt Carleen dismissed the idea. I don’t like my vibrator. Oh wait, you already know that. I went to a grade school without interior walls. I taught high school English for one (count it! one! how many is ooonnnneeeee…) semester.
NINE Places I’ve Visited:
London, Maui, Toronto, Cancun, Detroit, Chicago, Orlando, San Francisco, Washington D.C
EIGHT Ways to Win My Heart:
Dance in the living room with your mother. Clean up my messes. Be embarrassingly honest. Tell me I remind you of Jane Eyre. Laugh at me. Volunteer information. Buy me pastry. Be hard on me.
SEVEN Things I Want to Do Before I Die:
Visit Mission Control in Houston (or else let it go already). Have a legitimate reason to wear 18 button gloves. See King Tut’s death mask again. Go back to England with an appropriate wardrobe. Visit the coast of Maine. Build built-in bookshelves and a window seat. Learn to dance.
SIX Things I’m Afraid Of:
Snake tongues. (I’m cool with snakes until they flick their tongues). TV snow. Getting water over my head. Mirrors. (I didn’t look directly into mirrors until I was 12. I always sneaked a hand in first, then the arm, then I could look at myself). Dark alleys. Random natural disasters.
FIVE Things I Don’t Like:
Getting my teeth cleaned. Exercise. Nagging. Officiousness. Country music.
FOUR Ways to Turn Me Off:
Whine. Rant. Grab. Vegetate.
THREE Things I Do Every Day:
Sleep. Eat. Pick at my cuticles.
TWO Things that Make Me Happy:
Independence. Toast Racks. (A silver rack just for your toast!)
ONE Thing On My Mind Right Now:
There’s just one more day before the Chemistry project is done!

OMG! Just like Jane Eyre! And Gary is so Edward de Fairfax Rochester! Gasp!
High school boyfriend Joe? St. John Rivers. Unquestionably. All about the praying.
Be still my heart! All of these Jane Eyre colloquialisms are making my night! 🙂 Have you read the Fforde books? Thank you for visiting my blog. I am looking forward to being a regular here. Do you have a dog? You know, a “Pilot”? 😉
No fForde books; I’ll have to look in to those. And Mac is a sad, sad excuse for a Pilot.
How interesting, I have tvsnowaphobia too, as well as a fear of odd channels that show up when the clouds are just right. I should say WERE just right, rarely have snow or odd channels these days of dish. I thought I was alone in my freakish fear.
Zayrina – What would cause this? Fear of the unknown (what comes on after the signal goes out?). I imagine there was some Outer Limits episode with a creepy Brigadoon tv station.
I dunno Queen. I have a feeling it likely had to do with my older brother. I recall him pretending to turn into a werewolf multiple times scaring the living shite out of me and leaving me with an abnormal fear of things werewolf well into my adult years. It is a weird phobia to be sure though. My ex found my reaction fascinating. Current beau is not aware of it. TV snow inside a stopped elevator (doors closed) would surely do me in.
Zayrina – after some research, this fear is shared by you, me, and Paracetamol Boy (some message board). There must be more of us out there!
