My old pal Bill Cambell from b.la days tagged me on this seven meme and although I did just post a list of interesting stats about myself, I'll pull some skeletons out of the closet.
The rules:
1. Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
2. Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged.
1. I did a bunch of baton and beauty pageants when I was a teenager and took home a lot of trophies, plaques, medals and ribbons. I spent the rest of my life proving (to myself) that just cause I'm pretty doesn't mean I'm stupid. And trying to get people to notice my brain instead of my tits.
2. I have lived independently since I was 16.
3. My mom almost sold me for 10,000 camels in Egypt when I was 17. (Not related to #2 above.) Several years later, a guy tried to steal me from my grandmother when we were in a store in the Cairo Bazaar.
4. I initially wanted to be an Egyptologist and comparatively study the pyramid construction and civilizations of Mexico and Egypt.
5. My only regret in life is that I stood my grandmother up for breakfast once.
6. I love 70s music - both the disco and soft rock variety. I have an especial fondness for the soft rock guy songs like Goodbye Stranger, Sister Golden Hair and Centerfold.
7. I've lived in many types of environments: a rural "farm" with barn and at varying times chickens, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, pond, well pump, etc. 5 miles on a gravel road in the middle of a forest in Iowa. Suburban Kansas City with all the backstabbing a 13 year old girl could handle. Bohemian Berkeley where everyone expressed themselves and expects you to be fine with it. A beachfront apartment in Northern Brazil with the tourists and local whores. And other places.
I'm tagging PDXFirefly, Scabvendor, Lainie, Annatude, Brad Templeton, Susie, Sean Tario
