10 Weird Things About Me

Jenny tagged me for this meme, which has been going around the internets for a while. I haven't done it yet, although in theory I could probably make 10 such lists and yet not begin to scratch the surface of my weirdness.

Here's how you play: Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird or random things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says, "Tag, You're it" on their profiles and ask them to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you.


  1. I pick up accents very easily. I don't lose them as easily, which is why in any conversation I can sound Southern, Bostonian, and Canadian with word choices/orders of a Brit (blame BBC America for the last).
  2. However, when all you can hear is Jersey, you need to flee. Things are about to get very unpleasant.
  3. I didn't eat hamburgers for most of my life. About a year ago, I decided I liked them.
  4. I can't sing. Unfortunately, I do have an ear for music, so I know when I am off.
  5. I am sometimes embarrassed by my taste in music. It should be so much cooler than it actually is.
  6. However, I have no compunction about telling people about how cool the Modern Marvels "Cheese" episode is.
  7. I tend to sit with my arms crossed. People ask me if I'm cold.
  8. My landlord once told me that I had the best set of tools that he'd ever seen a woman have. He meant that entirely literally, and it was my box of random fasteners that sent him over the top.
  9. I will try to fix almost anything by myself, reasoning, "Hey, it's already broken!" My paper shredder is the latest casualty, but there is still hope for it.
  10. I am terrified of fire, but the fear can be manifest in strange ways. Bunsen burners terrify me, but not alcohol burners. I love campfires, but I refuse to build them. I will roast marshmallows in one someone else has built.

Oh, I'm not tagging anyone. Unless you want to be tagged, in which case, tag!
