My First Meme

So, I've been tagged by JCK to do a meme. I've been procrastinating about it all week because most memes require that you do certain things and I don't follow directions well. Or at all. So, although I am supposed to post the rules on my blog and then tag seven people, I'm not gonna. If you feel like doing this though, you go right ahead! If you want to follow the official rules they can be found here.

I do like to talk about myself however, so I will now share with you seven tidbits that will fascinate and amaze you. Or at least not put you into a coma from boredom. I hope.

1. I have met Mikhail Gorbachev. I won an essay contest in high school so along with 9 others I got to be on a panel interviewing him. This was THE highlight of my high school career. As if y'all needed more proof of the geek factor.

2. Since I said "I do" eleven years ago I have moved six times. Prior to marriage I moved twice and it was always in the same area of the same city. Now I am excited if the move doesn't involved a new driver's license.

3. When I was five I told my mom that a stranger had asked me to go with him. This is not entirely true. We had been covering stranger danger in kindergarten and I had a rather wicked imagination. Can you see where this is going? What had actually happened was a stranger had said hi to me. I let my imagination fill in the rest. Sorry mom. Now that I am a parent I can understand the panic this may have caused. At the time I couldn't figure out what the big deal was.

4. I have only kissed two guys in my life. One being Way Cooler and another being a dude named Dave.

5. I am extremely directionally challenged. If you tell me to go North I will give you a blank stare. People often ask which direction our house is facing. It faces the cul-de-sac. Beyond that, I have no idea. If someone tells me to go left, I have to think about it for a second or two. I usually remind myself "I write with my left, so go in that direction." Apparently this is THE most frustrating thing in the world to a male. At least to the male who lives in my house. Oh well.

6. I like to cross my toes. It's probably going to really mess with with my alignment and someday I won't be able to uncross them and I'll be an elderly lady with freaky feet who can't find shoes that fit, but right now, it's comfortable.

7. I've never been to Boston in the fall.
