memes from dmt81 again...
But I was tagged this time, I swear!
Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six some of your friends [I'm pretty sure this meme already went around the circuit once or twice] and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included with it.
1.) I'm highly allergic to most metals (the exceptions being Surgical Steel and Titanium). When I tell people this, they're like "what... do you count your change and then sneeze?" Tragically, no. That would be funny. Instead, I break out in a massive case of hives of such degree that I would rarely wear jeans until I was 14 years old (I still am highly allergic to the back-side of the jeans' button) and if I push my glasses too far up the bridge of my nose, I will develop a rash that looks like one of those female Hindu marks (I forget the name).
2.) I've only had four serious girlfriends, and they were all friends of mine before we started dating. Chronologically, their names go in reverse-alphabetical order: Emily, Chrissy, Amber, and Alana. Following this trend and based on the provision that I've only dated Western Girls, my next girlfriend's name must be either Aimee, Aeryn, Adrienne or Abbey. Oddly enough, I have four friends with those names, although I think I'm more likely to break the trend than I am to "pair off" with any of these girls. Maybe I should have started in the "S"'s...
3.) The only thing I truly believe in is genetics. The only thing I truly want to believe in is reincarnation but I guess I don't have enough faith in faith.
4.) I've always wanted to get a tattoo, but was usually able to talk myself out of it -- I couldn't justify buying something only to have it get stretched out and become ugly. About five or six years ago, I decided that if I ever got under 200 pounds, I would get myself a tattoo; at 202.3 lbs, I have never been this close in my life. So if I can finally get under 200 lbs and am able to keep the weight off of by the time I come home in June, I will be returning to Japan with a tattoo. Unless I change my mind, it will likely be an Egyptian "Eye of Ra" to go on my left shoulder blade; this way, I'll always have someone watching my back. I'm going to try to get my brother to get the same thing done.
5.) The songlist on my iPod that probably gets the most use is called "Potential Auditions?" and contains songs that are really good for my range. The list was designed just in case I get called for a random audition to become the lead singer for a band, and I'm usually seen in my apartment at least once a weekend singing these songs at the top of my lungs. The songs? "The Set Up (You Need This)" by RBF, "Cover This" by Dispatch, "I'm Ready [Live]" by Bryan Adams, "Ask DNA" by the Seatbelts feat. Raju Ramayya, and "Barely Listening" by Pilot Speed. Aeryn, if you're reading this -- I recommend all these bands, especially the last two.
6.) One of my personal rules is that I always answer my kids truthfully if they ask me a question in English. Since I started work at Showa Chuugakkou, I think I've become a pro at not telling the whole truth. It all started with "No, I don't speak Japanese [here at this school]" and sort of mushroomed from there. Other lies I said today? "I like Christmas [compared to competing in a Midget Shaving Contest or gouging out my own eyeballs];" and "Yes, that's a completely correct sentence you wrote [although I don't think it means what you think it means]."
I tag: naebler, aerelis, and glyphmon. I suppose anybody else who wants to do this can, too. :)
Never Date a Cancer
Clingy, emotional, and very private - it's hard to escape a Cancer's clutches.
And while Cancer will want to know everything about you, they're anything but open in return.
Instead try dating: Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, or Aquarius
What Sign Shouldn't You Date?
