8 things about me
Having been tagged by Barb the evil genius (who is anything but evil from my knowledge of her), here are some eight things people may not know about me:
1. Despite a straightforward and factual way of speaking, I am actually quite unsure about how people feel about me. I feel both confident and insecure, at the same time. Which can be uncomfortable, to say the least, although I think people think I think I'm sure of myself.I hope that wasn't too boring for any rare readers. If, among them, are Ligneus, Muttering / Meanderings and Elephant's Child, then they should consider themselves tagged even if they do not ordinarily engage in such things.
2. I love to drink a small glass of icy cold Diet Coke just before bed.
3. Although I read and do work around my house whenever I'm home, I seem unable to do it without either the tv or radio being on. I try silence and even like it for a few minutes and then pay more attention to the silence than whatever I'm doing.
4. I love my job and work for a terrific company. Plus, my manager is one of the nicest and best supervisors; she's worth writing about (note to self). Nevertheless, I wish I had followed my college goal and pursued teaching philosophy and logic in grammar and high school.
5. I still love stupid jokes like the ones I liked when I was a child (elephant jokes, knock-knock jokes, etc.).
6. When I was a child, I adored playing with dolls. I had several that were 4 or 5 inches tall and made of cloth (I wonder whatever became of them, now that I think of it). I remember sitting on the floor underfoot while my mother made dinner, moving the dolls around in whatever story they were living that day.
7. My first cat was named Nijinsky and was orange and white. I adored him. (He was named Nijinsky because he could leap so high without a running start. He'd stand in front of the refrigerator, look up, and seemed to rise up to the top where he'd sit and purr and watch us.)
8. I would really like to know how to turn actual events that happened into very entertaining stories.

Caffeinated pop before bed would tend to a. keep me awake and b. keep me in the bathroom too much.
I wish I could tell stories like, say, Lileks. A blog is a good place to try to develop what writing talent I have, anyway.
Thanks for playing!
