In a meme-ish state of mind
Apparently I really am moving more slowly in my old age because I got tagged. OTOH I haven't done one of these in a while so wth
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to answer these questions about yourself. At the end, choose 10 people to be tagged. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
1. What is one of the most embarrassing things that has ever happened to you?
I repress these things. The ones I can remember aren't anything really awful. Okay, trying to french one my best male college friends. In my defense, I was drunk. That is a defense, right? Truthfully, I wasn't terribly embarrassed--except for the drunk part--because he was hot and I wanted to kiss him. For a start. Fortunately, it didn't affect our friendship at all....wait, maybe I should've been offended by that?
2. What is one guilty pleasure that you indulge in?
Watching "Ghosthunters" I don't know why because I don't believe in the supernatural (as opposed to Supernatural, which I totally believe in) and I can't stand any of the other 'ghost busting' shows. This one, tho, is like my weekly tv crack and I love it.
3. What was your favorite show as a child?
Geez, nothing like giving away my age...which is 48 for anyone who cares. When I was very young: Rocky & Bullwinkle, Underdog, and Mighty Mouse. When I was a little older, Dark Shadows (anyone else out there remember Barnabas Collins?). Then (boy this is embarassing) The Bobby Sherman Show and The Partridge Family. Hey, it was cool when *I* was a kid ;-P
4. How much time a day do you spend on Facebook?
None. Never been on Facebook. I don't twitter either.
5. How old were you when you fell in love for the first time?
Not counting crushes.... High school.
6. Do you collect anything?
Christmas ornaments and tacky fridge magnets.
7. What is your favorite song?
Just one? Srsly? It really depends on my mood. And my choices would also give away my age because they're all a good 20 years old.
"Your Song" Elton John, "Perhaps Love" John Denver, "True Colors" Phil Collins, "Every Little Thing She Does" Police
8. Have you ever written a sappy love poem?
Not likely. I don't have a sappy bone in my body. Or a poetic one, for that matter.
9. How different is your adult life from what you imagined it to be at 16?
The only thing I really had set in my mind was my career. I was going to be a physical therapist, and that plan went down the tubes when I had my first back surgery the year after I graduated university. So yeah, a bit different.
10. If you could stay any age for the rest of your life, what would it be?
No. There is no single age that was perfect. Or even close to perfect. There's been good and bad all along the way and I can't imagine being stuck at any one age.
As a meme-subversive, I refuse to tag anyone. But if you wanna play....
