Writing Nut Tag… I’m It!
You might recall that not so long ago, I was tagged by the fabulous Nutschell, a.k.a. The Writing Nut. Well, she’s done it again, in this post, where she tags me and several other bloggers with a nomination for the Versatile Blogger Award.
Fun!
So here are the rules:
1. Share 7 completely random pieces of information about myself.
2. Nominate 15 fellow bloggers for The Versatile Blogger Award and inform them of their nomination by posting a comment on their blogs.
Okay, I can do that. Don’t know if I’ll get to fifteen nominees — that’s a lot of people — but I’ll do at least a few, and I can certainly come up with 7 random pieces of information, such as…
Random Fact 1: When I was 14, my little brother accidentally burned off a third of my hair. I was pattern-bald for most of my freshman year of high school.
RF2: I’m currently studying Pimsleur’s French and Italian on CDs in my car. I’m highly amused because their teaching conversations all sound like bad attempts to pick up on the opposite sex.
RF3: When I was a kid, I tried to microwave a can of soup… still in the can. I had a feeling the house might explode, so I rallied my little sister and the cats and we prepared to evacuate while we watched the timer count down to our assured doom. (Doom didn’t happen — I came to my senses and turned off the microwave first.)
RF4: One of my hobbies in 7th grade was learning and singing the words to popular songs… backwards.
RF5: Last time George Michael went on tour, I saw him in both L.A. and N.Y., ponying up for floor seats to both shows simply because he’s George, and he’s worth it.
RF6: If I’m on the phone with my sister and need to use the bathroom, I have no problems bringing the phone along and continuing our conversation. She is the only person in the world with whom I’d dream of doing this… which she finds a dubious distinction.
RF7: I met my husband on a blind date… arranged by an ex-girlfriend of his who thought I’d be such a hideous disaster that he’d immediately slingshot back to her. Oops.
Now for the nominees — I won’t do 15 — I’ll stick with 5.
1. Jen Klein
2. Susan Case
5. Skinny Emmie
