10 Weird Facts Back to Blog
I’ve discovered that I’ve been tagged by Michelle Diener–ah, thanks, Michelle! She’s challenged me to list ten weird facts about myself. So, here goes:
1. I’m allergic to strawberries…and bees. Not necessarily weird, I suppose–but rather sad (I’ll never know the amazing joy of chocolate covered strawberries and I will spend my life running from bees).
2. When I was a kid, I once walked through the entire sewer system under my hometown (luckily, it was a small town). Don’t really know why I did that–fortunately for me, the tunnels were completely dry and rat free!
3. I love really bad horror movies. Give me Jason, give me Michael Myers, give me the Sci-Fi channel on a Saturday night.
4. I can Greek dance–pretty well, actually. Or, at least I think I do it well. 🙂
5. Another “when I was a kid” story…I used to make haunted houses–and I mean I’d make them all the time and everywhere. In the garage, in the utility room, in the hallway. My poor mom never knew when she was going to stumble onto some blood/ketchup and enter my scary world.
6. I have a scar on my right knee that looks like a plane.
7. I was nearly bitten by a snake while blackberry picking (I was 10)–I’ve hated blackberries since then.
8. Roller coasters terrify me. Terrify.
9. I tried to to play the guitar when I was sixteen. My fingers bled–I gave up the guitar very fast.
10. I like to pet strange creatures–and I usually try to get a picture of me with said creatures. I’ve got pics of me petting an alligator, a python, a shark, and a dolphin (that one is sweet, not strange). Hmm…I think it’s time for some more pics!
And it’s also time for me to tag someone, Saskia Walker–you’re it!

Bummer on the stawberries, Cynthia. And hee hee on the bad movies. Just like my kung-fu ones :).
The haunted house thing is really funny, I can just imagine your mother coming across them. You obviously knew what you wanted from an early age 😉
I love the haunted houses! LOL
The roller coaster thing… that’s not weird. That’s just good sense. 🙂
Michelle, my husband LOVES those kung-fu movies, and so does my dad. So, for me, there is truly no escape from the kung-fu magic.
Hi, Kate! Glad you agree about the roller coasters. The other night, I made the horrible mistake of turning to HBO just as Final Destination 3 began (the horror flick where the roller coaster crashes). Since I like horror movies so much, part of me was drawn…and I sat there, mouth agape, watching the coaster crash. Not fun.
Cynthia, I love the haunted houses too. Your poor mom. *g* I’m the same way about roller coasters and I stopped taking guitar lessons too. Not because my fingers bled, though. Now I wish I would’ve kept up with the lessons.
You know, Edie–I wish I’d kept up with those lessons, too–blood and all!
You were the 4th person to tag me for this one, Cynthia. LOL I’ve been snowed under but I’ll be doing it this weekend. One of mine is the same as one of yours. 🙂
