It appears that I've been tagged by DWQ to do one or all of the following: list six unique or eight random facts about myself, or to list five thought-inspiring blogs. I think I'll go with eight random facts, as that seems like the easiest of the three options. I'm not sure I could come up with six truly unique facts about myself without moving into the realm of Too Much Information.
- I dislike cilantro. Tasting it is like having a game show's "wrong answer" buzzer go off in my mouth. As a result, I'm not a fan of the "Fresh Mex" style of cooking. You know, "we lightly grill the chicken breast, and then we smother it in lime juice and cilantro." No thanks, I prefer the old style preparation. "We deep-fry our home-made corn tortillas and pile them high with refried beans, shredded beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream, and top it off with a single black olive."
- Some people hate the sound of balloons being rubbed or packing tape being unrolled. Those sounds don't bother me. What sound does? The screech of a kitchen knife against a stainless steel countertop. Ugh!
- Speaking of sound, I don't visit bars and nightclubs and such because noise plus crowds does not agree with me. Also, I am not much of a dancer.
- Instead, I'd rather just visit friends and play board games or something. In fact, I've got a closet full of them gathering dust (board games, that is) because most are for three or more players.
- Before I moved, I played pen-and-paper RPG's about once a week. I haven't played once since. I may or may not decide to sell my RPG book collection.
- However, I've gone to the Comic-Con every year since the move. But I've definitely decided to sell my comic book collection.
- I went to school with a guy that had the very same birthday as myself. I don't believe we've ever said more than five words to each other.
- That could be said for most of the people I went to school with.
So there are eight random facts about myself for you. Now, who to tag,
who to tag...? I think I'll tag Cheile
just to annoy him, then Sari,
for being so foolish kind as to leave comments, and
finally... you, you random Googler. You're not getting away from
here that easily! Mua ha ha! Mua ha ha! Mua ha ha!
