I've Been Tagged

Odat has tagged me in this ongoing meme thing. She tells me I am to post 10 secrets about myself. The thing is, I can't think of anything I haven't already told you guys, but I suppose I will come up with something.

Here goes, not necessarily in the order of importance, I just typed em as they came to me.

1. I can't stand bad spelling. An occasional typo is fine, but bad spelling makes me want to go for the throat. When I got divorced and my ex husband and I started communicating primarily through email, I realized how utterly stupid he truly was. His spelling is atrocious.

2. Nobody in my family knows about this blog except my brother, and he can't remember the address. Some secrets are best kept to yourself.

3. I would be perfectly content to be a hermit and to never have to deal with anyone. I've become a misanthrope.

4. My greatest wish is to buy a house. The ex b/f told me once that the only way I would ever get one is if I marry someone who already has one. He constantly underestimated me.

5. When people know me only superficially they think I'm a bit of a ditz. They are often surprised when they find out I know about a few things after all. This is mostly because I prefer to keep my conversations light and off of the topic of politics and/or religion (other than an occasional rant).

6. At one point in my life I was very very good at sketching animals. I haven't done this in so long now though that I don't think I can do it anymore. I would love to paint with oils and be good at it, but my perspective skills suck.

7. I have one of my daughter's baby sleepers folded up in my underwear drawer, as a reminder of how small she once was. I also have a set of my son's pajamas for the same reason. They don't know this.

8. I used to be a Sunday School teacher, but I haven't attended church now in 8 years. I'm not sure I'll ever go back to church. I fully expect to burn in hell.

9. Kinky Friedman mystery novels are one of my guilty pleasures.

10. If I don't recognize your number when you call me, I won't answer the phone.

Okay I have done my duty. From what I understand I am supposed to tag 2 people to do the same thing, so I am sitting here looking at my blog list and trying to decide who is most likely to cooperate and who hasn't already been tagged....

hmmmm

How about Nihilistic and Mist.

I. It was an accident.
II. I am not sorry.
III. I wish Lisa didn't hate me.
IV. I am a recovering anorexic.
V. I am fighting a relapse.
VI. Sometimes, I want it to come back.
VII. When I disappear, I'm not where I say I am.
VIII. That's not what my tattoo means.
IX. I'll never tell where the $$ comes from.
X. I'm not painting right now.

That's it. I wish I could list items like:

XI. I made that anonymous donation.

But, that's just not true.

Blech. Isn't it better just to read my follies rather than get to know the "real" Mist 1?
