Eight Is Enough

Someone tagged me a while ago for this (I think it was Rebecca ?) and while I normally don't do memes, everyone and their mother has been doing nothing and HEY I am nothing if not a joiner.

The Rules: Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The game rules are posted at the beginning of the post. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment to let them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

So here goes!

1) I really really hate when people on Jeopardy wager their bet so that they win by $1. It's like a big F U to the person who loses and frankly I think wreaks of bad sportsmanship.

2) When I was a freshman at UMASS Amherst I lived on the eighteenth floor of Kennedy (in Southwest of course, which explains why I only lasted a year!). It was an all girls floor and we were all friends and always out causing trouble. We made a video capturing most of this called "EIGHTEEN, WHAT" (because of that Eminem video where he keeps saying into the news camera "DETROIT, WHAT!" (awesome, I know)) and my biggest fear/greatest hope is that someday that video surfaces. It includes, among other more nefarious things, a dance video my friend Kelly and I made in the lounge after a few too many peppermint patty shots to Backstreet Boy's "Everybody (Backstreet's Back). Two words for you. Chair. Dancing.

3) I only like talking on the phone if I call you. I know that's selfish.

4)When we first got Internet at home, I was in high school and the movie Swingers was huge (to my friends and I at least). So my first ever email address was swinger (@) b a net.com. When my dad found out he explained to me that "swinger" might not be the most appropriate email address for a 17 year old girl, so we changed it to SoMoney@ b a net.com. I still wish I had swinger. Then again in my early twenties my email address was nymphitup @ hotmail . com. So who am I kidding?

5) I have a secret rule that if I say something bad about someone whether it's a celebrity or a coworker or whathave you, I have to say something nice about them the same day to make up for it.

6) Even though I was raised non-religious, when I was 9 years old I asked my mom to take me to church to see what the deal was. In the middle of the service my mom's contact lens fell out and we were both on the floor of the church looking for it, the whole pew stood up, everyone was looking at us - I took this as a sign that this was not really the place for us!

7) I hate getting massages. I used to work in a massage therapist's office and was always getting offered free ones and back rubs and neck rubs and whatnot and I was never into it. I can't relax enough to enjoy it. You want to make me less tense? Take me shoe shopping.

8)When I was little I was TERRIFIED of Ernie, specifically when he dressed up like a mummy. There was this Sesame Street episode where Bert and Ernie are Egyptian mummies (from what I remember) and it gave me nightmares for WEEKS. So much so that when I was taking Art Lessons for Kids at the MFA my mom had to stay with me in another section of the museum while the rest of the class went into the Egyptian section to draw. When she explained to the teacher "She is scared of Bert", I don't think he really got it. Oh but if he had known.

See?

I think everyone who would want to do this already has but if you haven't then feel free! Oh and Rebecca if you are not the one who tagged me then feel free!!!
