RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself.

People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks. I dragged this out of the attic and only found a few changes that needed to be made.

Do whatcha like.

1. I use to work for Dan Quayle. I even had a Dan Quayle WildC.A.T.S. trading card in my desk the whole while but never had the guts to ask him to autograph it (though we did fax it to every single international office!). I have no idea what his health situation was at the time, but his skin was bright yellow and matched his hair in a very disconcerting manner. He was unfailing polite, but seemed to have perfect timing to catch me with a mouthful of egg salad.

2. Although I was born in Arizona, I didn't really spend any time there other than middle and high school. After that, it was back to NY which is why I still consider myself a New Yorker.

3. My mum looks, sounds and acts like Diane Keaton and has been mistaken for her in stores, which I encourage.

4. My Uncle Gary looks like a younger Kenny Rodgers but sounds and acts like Bill Engvall. We got him drunk this summer and he told us the problem with lesbians is "they write . . . books!" He was horrified when we told him the following day what'd he said and apologized to everyone.

5. Before moving to Washington, I almost put in to emigrate to Ireland. There are probably many folks in Washington who wish I did. And just as many in Ireland who are glad I didn't!

6. I am always threatening to write a book about my zany family, but I can't decide if Robin Williams or Dustin Hoffman should play my Dad in the movie version.

7. Most mornings I wake up sandwiched between a basset and a border collie while they stare at me in a most disconcerting manner.

8. I have a dimple on my butt cheek. And not a single person on my friends list knows which one, because even my hubby mis-remembers. :P

9. When visiting friends, I always flip their toilet paper rolls so the end flows over the top instead of the bottom. I've even pretended that I had to go when I didn't so I could do this.

10. I would much rather clean out your closet, garage and re-organize your house than chat on the phone for long periods of time!

I do that!

Seems we're an underground movement - a few folks mentioned they do it backchannel but didn't want to post visibly.

regarding item 10 on your list. i live in Philadelphia, and can re schedule as needed for a house guest, please advise as to when you would like to arrive.
note: i recommend starting with the guest bedroom so you have someplace to sleep. bring a shovel.

Hee hee. At some point I expect we'll visit Phili, as its Josh's hometown. Will let you know soonest and bring shovel.

BWUAHAHAHAHA!
Love you post.
And i do have to agree so much with number 10. I hate talking on the phone... talk to me in person, IM, text, e-mail, etc... but the phone?! BLECH!

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

There are folks I must talk to via the phone because of distance issues. All others I beg to chat via IM, etc.

When can I expect you? Would you like to help me throw things out before the move or after the move to the new place? ;)

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! Just remember, it will be an OCD move. :)

[tide-and-time.livejournal.com]

That might actually save my ass and keep me from just dumpstering everything. LOL

[wild-heart.livejournal.com]

We could do this as a team.

No dimples on my arse cheeks, but freckles. My husband has counted them before but I've never asked for the number.

You wouldn't have to do that with the toilet paper at my house--that's how I prefer it. :)

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

As you can see from the picture on last night's post, I don't really have freckles which is odd with my complexion and hair color. I've always adored and coveted other people's, though.

[bunnsidhe.livejournal.com]

You're welcome to have some of mine--I have enough to spare. :)

I always wanted my da's tan skin.

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

My Da is almost as pale as I am (in winter, he sunbathes all summer), but because of his profusion of freckles, he appears much darker complected. I've watched a few people approach him and react to it.
