OH SIGH, THOSE TAGS :)

Some time ago I was tagged by Lisa Froggy and then later by Violette. Since I don't like to do MeMe's, I sorta kinda tried to let it pass on over by just hiding my head in the sand, but I'm filled with...um....I guess it's guilt? Or maybe there's too much sand in my mouth. So I might as well get it over with. Here goes...


Five WEIRD Things About Me

1. I don't do alcohol. Maybe a glass of wine at dinner or something like that tho I really like the taste of champagne. I can't stand to be around loud, boisterous drunks. I've been a victim of a violent alcoholic abuser, and my dh has a hidden head injury because of a drunk driver. I can't find sympathy for alcoholism. Life is choices, and if you made the choice to do it, you can make the choice to stop. Be tough and love yourself.


2. I can and will easly cry and feel pain in my heart if I see an animal hurt.

3. I am afraid of trains. They are BIG and POWERFUL and I suppose I have seen too many TV movies of the girl being tied to the tracks. Eeeek! I have never been on a train. BUT, I would like to ride the Orient Express!

4. I have a bit of a psychological germ phobia. I try not to shake hands (Hello, Howie!). When I go into a public place, I push the door open with the back of my hand or if I have to pull it I use my pinky finger. In restaurants, I pick up the condiments with a napkin. If I hear someone behind me sneeze or cough, I scoot away really fast and hold my breath til I feel "safe".

5. I totally adore Marc Anthony's singing and whomever plays the guitar on his CD's. I love Salsa music. I'm a romantic at heart. Once many years ago I had a Latin Lover. HeeHeeHee for real! Oh my! Thats a whole nother story! ;)

Now that you see I am a total Freakazoid, I won't tag anyone. If you want to tell us all 5 weirdo things about YOU, please FEEL FREE!!! Come on, if I had to do it, you should too. Take the challenge!

I, for one, don't think these sound weird at all. I'm right there with you on #1, #2 and #4 but having had a grandpa who worked for the railroad I don't fear trains....and I have never had a Latin lover....Thai, Jordanian, and a few others though!! But as you said, that's another story!

Wanda said...

Oh this was fun, not weird at all!! Do you like planes? Latin lover...la la!

I'm glad you shared!! :)

Pam Aries said...

You aren't THAT weird! ha! Did you see the new movie with Anthony and Jen about the famous Latin dancer? I can't remember the name. I haven't seen it. My ex husband was a big Alcoholic and still is ..so they say. Yuck. ..I am just like you when it comes to animals.!

I have already been tagged with the weird meme so I think I'll do a post on it tonight. Yeah, I feel guilty if I don't follow up too.

I love your pelicans. I love the fact that they are all the same colors but all different, and the pattern they all make together is wonderful.

I am the same about drinking. I do drink, but only at home or with a designated driver.
In 2000 I was hit by a drunk driver..


I'm guessing the culprit is Ms. wee..lol..
Peace, Kai xx

Latin lover, eh? Doesn't sound weird to me - just very intriguing! The rest of 'em sound pretty normal to me, too - but then maybe I'm too weird to tell the difference, lol...

Nothing weird about not drinking. My Methodist grandmother took the pledge at 18 and never drank. i guess I follow that tradition most of the time. I like white wine in my cheese fondue.

I wouldn't mind a Latin Lover. Iberian love is close. I dated a Spanish girl for a while who spoke little English. She couldn't get past the idea of dating the "priest'.

Enough of this before I give away my weird life experiences.

Not too weird. I drink rarely.

I like reading meme's(not doing them)yours was interesting.
Alcohol in modertion definately.
Are you refering to Howie Mandel or Howard Hughes?:-)Personally germs don't bother me....I'm surrounded by them and have built up resistence.Tell us more about the Latin Lover senora...

familymclean said...

Love it! I too am a germ phobe. I avoid touching anything and also hold my breath till I think it is safe, too funny!
Feel the same about the drinking too....have alcoholics in the family and it sure keeps us sober!

Doing a Meme can be a little unnerving until you get into it!
I'm becoming a bit more germ conscious lately...partly due to "Madison Avenue" marketing of all the new wipes etc.! Sounds like you have had an interesting life!
