10 Random Things
IIRC, I was tagged by mingsmommy for the 10 random things meme. Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 random things, facts, goals, or habits about yourself. At the end, choose anyone you think may answer - to be tagged, listing their names & why you chose them. You can't tag a person who has tagged you.
1. I dream constantly. Usually my dreams are about a) work b) Paul Guilfoyle/ Brass c) some other random now-dead actor I used to crush on and they are always in color. Some times I dream about things that later come true-like the dream I had where the Flyers would take the series lead over the Caps, 3 games to 1, which they did. Back when I drove a 240SX (sports car) I once had a dream that I was driving to work one morning and I had to brake suddenly. A car hit me from behind and I went under a dump truck and died. I sold the 240SX very shortly after that and bought an SUV.
2. I took fencing in college because I loved Basil Rathbone’s fencing scene in "Robin Hood".
3. I always have a Plan B, sometimes a Plan C but always a Plan B. When I die I want the marker to say "she didn’t have a Plan B".
4. I have only ever seriously dated men who were at least 10 years older than me. I have been attracted to older men since as long as I can remember. My first crush was Rex Harrison after seeing Dr. Doolittle. I was 6. Unfortunately, I'm getting to the age where older men are dead or close to it.
5. I get a 1 or 1 1/2 hour massage every two weeks. I know some people look at massages as a luxury; I see it as a necessity, especially for women.
6. Unless I have a deadline, I have a very hard time finishing things. That especially applies to fics.
7. I won't eat anything out of a shared bowl or off a shared plate if others can randomly touch it. I'm also a compulsive hand washer. I rarely get sick.
8. I am religious about exercising. I get on the treadmill or ride the bike at the gym for at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week. I have to because I am a foodie and I've been in a constant fight with my weight for as long as I can remember.
9. I have an ear for picking up accents. When I was a kid, I used to go around speaking in an English accent that I picked up from my English neighbor and from watching The Avengers. I once had to show a German woman on a train my passport to prove to her that I was an American because I spoke German with such a perfect accent. My French accent was pretty decent too. If you have an accent and I'm around you for very long, I will pick up your accent.
10. I grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma and spent most of my childhood living in an apartment or a townhouse. When we moved to a house in the country, I hated it--even if it did have a pool.
I'm not seriously tagging anyone but I'd be interested to see what barracudacool, inamberclad, tos_lover, unwrittenkitten and airforce_chic have to say.
