Catch me if you can

I must be slow because I've been tagged by two people. Thanks to Myla at Being a Better Me and Jenn at You are flawed if you are not free. =)

In case you're unfamiliar with what 'being tagged' is, here's the breakdown:
1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and or weird things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

And now, 7 things you don't know about me:

1. I'm a tech geek. I love figuring out how to get the most bang out of my buck for the gadgets I have. For instance, I've learned how to edit songs in Itunes and export them so I can use them for ringtones. Never again will I pay for ringtones. This means that I have specific ringtones for LOTS of people.

2. When I was 6, I was bit in the mouth by a chow. I had to half of my mouth sewn shut while the injury healed. I think it was cool because all I ate was ice cream and soup through a straw for a few days until the stitches were gone.

3. I have nerve damage in my bottom right side of mouth, basically lip to chin area, from when my wisdom teeth were removed. I don't drool, at least not because of that! And no, it's never interfered while mugging down. ;)

4. I love, love, LOVE salty and crunchy snacks. Chex mix, chips, popcorn...yum!

5. In high school, the Athletic Director told me I was expelled for 2 weeks for choice words I used with him. I ended up with 'in school suspension' for 2 days, but was only there a few hours each day as I was allowed to go to my dance and pom classes, as well as my drama class. I didn't get 'biggest brown-noser' for nothin'!

6. People never believe me when I say I grew up in the ghetto until I tell them that every day, I walked through a metal detector, had an officer scan my body with a wand scanner and then had my bag searched. We had a shooting in my middle school and a few drive bys at my high school. Like I said, I grew up in the ghetto.

7. I've been hypnotized a few times, during comedy shows, and remember the entire thing. Once, I was hypnotized to be Shania Twain. The other time, I was competing in a lap dance contest for a bajillion dollars (yep, that's how much we were working it for).

Ok...for my 7 people, I'm tagging:
Perpetual State of Flux
Otherside of my head
Simply Zee
Jen Changes
Neptune Baby
Betty Underground
Stereotypical Single Woman

I'm glad you're feeling better. I am a little, it's been so long since I've been actually sick I'd forgotten what a pisser it is. Thanks for the tag, too! I just did this one a couple days ago, but I can probably think of 7 more funky facts to share. I've always wanted to be hypnotized just to find out if it's actually possible.

You edit your own ringtones?!
You must teach me your ways oh wise one! Haha.

I cringed so much at the thought of having my mouth stitched close. I think I might have a nightmare about it tonight haha.

Of course I'll play along. What is the meme about? Just 7 things about me?

Betty Underground said...

I am the person who risked bodily injury and a life time of lovelessness and chose to break chain letters.

Might explain a few of the bad hands I have been dealt.

So I played but added an optional clause tagging it forward.

BTW: Emergen-C can be found in bulk at Whole Foods! Get some, it works!
