Tagged....

Alright, alright already! I've been tagged by charmedgirl to mindlessly bore you for the next few minutes.

The rules:
1) Link to the person who tagged you.
2) Post the rules.
3) Share six non-important things / habits / quirks about yourself.
4) Tag at least three people.
5) Be sure the people you tagged KNOW you tagged them by commenting what you did.

1. I love to ballroom dance. LOVE IT! And, it seems I am good at it despite my parents telling me at the ripe age of nine that I "had no rhythm". (I also play 4 instruments, and sing so THERE! I must have rhythm of some sort!) I'm going dancing on Friday (I get out about once a month). Dh, however does not dance. So boo on him!

2. Before I met Dh, I had a list. You know, the list of things you want in a mate. Some of these were superficial, but who cares. The list was, "intelligent, witty, humorous, caring, blue-eyed, ambitious, and made enough 'dough' for me to be a SAHM". Who knew one person could have all that? So yeah, I bagged him.

3. When I was younger(grades 4-8), they would ask us to memorize and recite poetry. I was always the first and only one in the class to be able to recite all of the poetry (sometimes 50+ lines long) in front of the class. I was so good at this that in eight grade I accidently memorized the Gettysburg Address (Four score and seven years ago...). I still do it as a parlor trick. If I could only find some usefulness for this.

4. I have some psychic powers. I used to be more clarivoyant when I was younger, but it's still there to an extent. I see ghosts too.

5. I'm a closet vegetarian. The idea of meat creeps me out....but I can eat it if I'm not thinking about it. The minute someone starts talking about it, or raw meat comes onto the scene, I start to lose it. I don't enjoy the taste or texture either. I have been like this my whole life because I remember sitting there at the dinner table, cutting my steak up into a million pieces hoping nobody will notice I didn't eat it. when I started cooking the dinners at the age of 11, I would be making spaghetti meat sauce and scoop the 'juice' off the top as it simmered and put it in a separate container for my own sauce. It wasn't until later that I learned the word "vegetarian" and then later still when I learned it was not a dirty word.

6. In grades 1-6 we would have these mathematics standardized tests. Around grade 2, I stopped doing the math part because I realized the numbers were the same each time. So instead, I memorized them. I had all of the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division 100 answers each memorized by 6th grade. I always won the competition because I didn't do the math, I just put in the answers. Is this cheating?
