The Magic 8-Ball

... is the meme Irina tagged me with, and which may or may not reveal 8 interesting facts about me to my readers!

Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

I) I once rode from Alabama to Connecticut on the bitch seat of a Harley.

2) I once was a model for a Connecticut magazine photo shoot, portraying a Colonial serving wench, complete with tankards of beer, a ruffled dust cap and mucho
décolleté .

3) I am addicted to Butterfingers candy bars.

4) My favorite dressing for a salad is half French half Blue Cheese.

5) I hate talking on the telephone.

6) I was a teenaged mother at 19 years old.

7) I was married on my 18th birthday.

8) I once taught myself to play Rhapsody in Blue on the piano (poorly --but it was an accomplishment as I had to learn one measure at a time and it took quite a while.)


Now I must tag 8 people and I apologize in advance. I am supposed to let you know you are tagged but if I did that, you'd feel obligated to respond. So I've tagged you but if you don't find out, or want to pretend you didin't know you were tagged, I won't mind at all.

Finbar has already answered his questions. Good boy, Finbar.

I tag:

Nicole

Lauren

Ilanna

Gavin

Paintergirl

Marko

Linda, Bradley's mom

Yum, I love French/Blue Cheese dressing, though Blue Cheese is my personal all-time favorite. I could eat it all day!

I do wish you wrote about how you met your husband one day! That sounds like quite a story with a birthday wedding!

Irina, I wrote about it once here; I met him when I was 16 and he was 19 playing basketball (he was) at a local school during summer vacation. I thought he was someone else I knew, so my girlfriend and I walked closer to where he was shooting hoops and we found out we didn't know him at all.

Later that day he called me for a date! The very interesting part of the story is that my girlfriend had a brand new white convertible car and we never walked anywhere, but for some reason on this day we decided to take a walk around the neighborhood and voila, I found a husband I wasn't looking for!

Aww :) <3

As for tagging me, I'm working on it. I just posted a long-winded post that most bloggers are too impatient to read. I'll type it up and save it for another day. I'm sorry I'm not as good as Flenker. Ha!

Ilanna, yes, I am still with the same guy...I don't give up on things easily and thank goodness, we didn't grow apart, but in tandem! We are total opposites though, but in what counts we are identical.

Nicole you are very busy, no need to comply with the tag...you can just leave a few interesting facts right here in comments if you want.

(You too Ilanna)

I hope you did to to Finbar's blog, he is one of the few cats I know who blogs ;-)

well i already did the post on my blog so you'll just have to go over there and read it and then scroll down to see the bunny. :)

Ok. I posted my 8 facts.
It seems odd to see them together in the same place. These things live in different parts of my brain and they never meet.
Porn meet fear of swimming. Fear of swimming meet porn.

I'm tagged-I'll always play.

You were a beer wench. That has really made my day.

Ilanna, you are such an interesting person! I found out some great facts about you I might never have known.

Gavin...I commented on your meme, such a celebrity. I bet you are an amazing actor.

Nicole, click on Finbar's name on the list of tagged people (or cats) and scroll down to the bottom of the page for his "blog".

PG - I loved being a beer wench. The costume was adorable and I had a fun time.

Um... trust me I'm a horrible actor. I drink too much on set. I can't remember my lines. I'm surley.


I'm like a male Lindsey Lohan.
Or worse...
I'm like a male Rip Taylor.
