Avery tagged me with this meme, and it appears that for this meme I'm supposed to come up with 6 uninteresting facts about myself. There are rules to this meme, not all of which I am going to follow... but I'll list them here.
* Link the person who tagged you.
* Mention the rules in your blog.
* Tell about six unspectacular quirks
* Tag six bloggers by linking them. (I have fewer than six regulars on this particular blog and I'm sure most of them have already done this meme)
* Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger's blogs letting them know they've been tagged. (read comment on previous rule)
Frankly I could come up with so much more blandness.
But I will limit my list to the six that I am supposed to limit it to. You should be grateful.
1. I'm not a naturally tidy person. My house is usually pretty clean because between my husband and I we get the chores done-- but I hate doing it. I never rebelled as a kid and I think my messy room was the only form of rebellion I felt comfortable acting out on. I hope my kids are just like me.
2. I sneeze when I see bright light. I can walk out into the sunshine or just look into a light bulb--I'll sneeze every time. My kids both do this too.
3. I am profoundly without rhythm. I didn't know what an 8-count was until I was on drill team in high school. I never learned how to play any musical instruments so rhythm has been quite the mystery for me most of my life. If I'm a crowd of people who are clapping to the beat, I have to watch everyone else so I am not the person clapping between beats.
4. I am a dress-for-comfort person. I have learned over the course of my life that I will abandon style for comfort any day of the week. I think Crocs were sent by the hand of God (or Shiva, or whomever) just to sooth my feet. (Though I did buy the cute little pair above--in two colors-- so I wouldn't look like I had duck feet all the time) I try to mitigate this by making sure my hair and make-up are as nice as I can make them. But I only wear heels for really dressy occasions. I think the last was my wedding. I can, however, walk in heels. I always feel a little sorry for women who look like they're walking on their tip-toes while wearing heels. Or walking on glass. I feel their pain.
5. My toenails are currently painted purple.
6. I went to school in Japan and got a minor in the subject in college but don't speak the language at all anymore. While I was there I realized I would never want to live or work there so I never bothered to keep up my conversational Japanese. It hasn't been a problem either.
So that's it. I'm not tagging anyone specifically, but if you'd like to do the meme, consider yourself tagged.

You were on drill team?
I wanted to be you.
And now you have purple toenails.
I still want to be you.
I hope Glamourpuss reads this post, so she can rail against your shoe choices. Her heels are so high, she won't even have to get on a soap box to hold forth!
I was on drill team but my lack of rhythm meant I wasn't all that good. You know how I said I clap between beats? I march between beats too.

It's so funny you say this. I was thinking of Puss when I wrote that part of my post. I thought, she's not going to ever want to be seen with me, should the situation ever arise...
Ah, just go with the 20-eyelet Docs. They're comfy, go with everything (yes, even a prom dress), and no one will dare poke fun at your ambirhythmia!
Especially not if you dance like Michael Stipe, Sinead O'COnnor, or that guy from Midnight Oil. You know, sort of like you're being tormented by invisible bees while having a seizure.
I'm pretty sure rhythm's a non-issue for those folks...
Great list, btw!
The Japanese thing is actually very interesting - the lack of heels thing? Hmmm...

Hi, very interesting post, greetings from Greece!
