Weird Tag

Posted in Blog, Blogging, Cyberspace

I got my first “tag” from Kristi at A Beautiful Mess. The way I recall the game of tag as a kid was a boy would touch me and say, “You’re it” then I’d turn around, kick him in the balls and say, “You’re it.” (I always blamed my bad early luck with boys on my height and freckles but maybe the long-term testicular damage I caused had something to do with it). No balls to kick in this tag, I’m just supposed to list six weird things about myself. I think the weirdest thing is that I had a hard time coming up with this list. Gotta love denial.

  • 1. I like ranch dressing on just about everything but salads.
  • 2. I’m an excellent speller but can’t spell announcement (anouncement?) or traveling (travelling?) without looking them up.
  • 3. I’m always cold but I get sweaty pits.
  • 4. I’m the third of four kids, with my twin brother being just a few minutes younger than me. But I always considered myself a middle kid. It was only a few years ago I realized I’m technically a “youngest child.”
  • 5. I twirl my pasta counterclockwise. My twin brother’s the only other rightie I know of who does that.
  • 6. I didn’t tie my shoelaces properly until I was 23. Relearning such a task at that age is a lot more difficult than you’d imagine.

    • Apparently I’m supposed to tag six other people but since there were no promises of riches if I do or threats of eternal suffering if I don’t, I think I’ll just keep it here and anybody who wants to play along can post their list.

      Thanks for playing, Jenee!
      The spelling thing gets me on occasion (occassion?) and battalion (batallion?). Just higher brain power getting in the way, I imagine.
      And I twirl my pasta counterclockwise also. Again, higher brain power?

      Oh, and thanks for not kicking me where it counts! Though I don’t have balls, it still hurts!

      1. Ewww. So do you put it on eggs and sausage and stuff?
      2. Wait…which one is the right one? I always thought it was spelled “Announcement”…But now it looks like it has too many “N’s”
      3. So did not need to know that…
      4. Technically, I think you’re considered a middle, because if you were to line up your siblings by age, you’d be in the middle. And so would the person who was born before you.
      5. I do that too…now you know two righties who do that!
      6. 23?! WTF?! Please, tell me you’re kidding…did you like orthepedic shoes with velcro straps, growing up or what?

      There can only be one middle child–and that’s me! You totally got all the benefits of being the youngest (along with your twin). Until now, I didn’t know you thought you were in the same league with me!

      I still don’t tie my laces the “correct” way and we’re talking 30’s.
