7 Things....

[freydis]

Got tagged with this in my livejournal, and thought it might be interesting here, too. Here's what I answered:

Instructions: Each player starts with 7 random habits/facts about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog,you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged.

1) I am trying to completely revive my creativity. Sometimes it makes me a little off-kilter... but I'm trying to recapture the explosion of creativity and purpose i had when i was younger. I feel like some of my ideas could be really cool, and the whole music thing.... i'm just glad i've been having the opportunity, and that it's turned out pretty good nearly every time i've tried it. I just need to rid myself of number 2 on this list.

2) I am a *horrible* procrastinator. I always have been. In these later years, it's gotten worse. I seriously wanna kick myself in the ass sometimes.

3) I used to be way more social than I am now, and I miss it. I've been trying to make more friends, as in past years I've had tons of friends and acquaintances I could just call and go out and do something totally spontaneous with, and I have very few people I could do that with now. I miss it, it makes me kinda sad.

4) I *love* crafty stuff, to the point that it gets me in trouble. I make so much pretty shit, and have no where to put it, so I give it away to friends. I seriously need to *sell* more of it because that shit costs money, and while I love you all, my fun crafty habits tend to cost me more than they really should. ;P Although, it *is* more fun to give you folks preasents.

5) I'm not in the type of shape I'd like. I know with how I procrastinate and have a hard time sticking to things, an explosion of activity and dieting would never last, and I need to work good habits in. But I'm still pissed at how lazy I am. I need to get more social crap, and combine it with activity, like walking, dancing, whatever.

6) Wow.... writing this was harder than I'd thought. I know i swiped a few ideas from Ray's posting of this, but writing about myself isn't as easy as it looks. As a matter of fact, I've never been able to write personal accounts quite so easily. I think maybe fiction simply appeals to me more?

7) Honestly, I can't think of anything else now.

Tag, you're it!

[Homicidalheathen]

1) I am singing again

2) I am working out again

3) I am meditating again

4) I have a dgn addiction lol

5) I hate liars and thieves

6) I break at least 3 laws everyday and try to do it by noon and work on breaking up to 7 a day. I honestly do.

7) Think rules and restrictions are ment to be broken if not stretched....even things you set for yourself.....it makes you grow mentally/spiritually and makes you live in someone else' shoes for a minute.

[Fierce Critter]

1) I can't stand kids, I don't like being around them and my husband is the same way. But I absolutely love elderly people. If I have to go back to working outside of the house, I'd look for a job in elder care.

2) I've never done an all-over dye job on my hair because I honestly have always liked my shade of dark blonde. But once a pending legal matter is over and done with in August, I am thinking of taking a full-on dive into an all black & red dye job.

3) I am making hand-linked bead necklaces for myself, and only for myself as I'm not interested in selling them.

4) I am an absolute hard-core Downriver Rat, and don't care to live anywhere else. Ever. Except for if I could be well-off enough to own a cottage on Lake Michigan up north to go to whenever I wanted.

5) I played guitar and performed folky, acoustic music from the very late 80's through around 1996, and was very well recieved - I was a headliner in the first EarthFest at the State Fairgrounds. I met my now husband in 1998 and quit playing. I am now getting more into electronic music and am finding that, in many ways, more rewarding than the acoustic stuff ever was. Yet I miss playing my 12-string.

6) I make models of classic muscle cars, such as Camaros, Trans Ams, Monte Carlos, etc. At least I used to. And I was very good at it. Something else I need to get back into.

7) I make my living selling things on eBay. Again, something I was really good at, but am not doing right now. I did it full-time from about 1999 through 2002, and hope to get back to soon.

Common peeps this is a good thread and I want to know quirky things about you!

Some of you may not know I have narcalepsy and it makes for some pretty funny moments.

[Destroit]

Hmmm grr gawd, uhm here:

1. Uhmmm I'm actually really really smart and everyone takes me "for stupid" as I say. I know something about nearly everything there is to know (or what we know as humans, rather).

2. I can't get lost. Like ever. No matter where I am in the world, I always know where I'm going. I have a built in On Star that came with my brains when I was born because God loves me.

3. Speaking of God, I'm Presbyterian. Usually not a big deal but when you're surrounded by goth people or punk kids you usually hear God bashing all day long, and I'm one of those Christians who is civil about it and doesn't shove it in anyone's face or tell them they're wrong. I never say "hey that's not cool, I'm a Jesus lover", I just usually let them go on their rant. Now that we're on the same page I'm republican. Deal with it.

4. I'm in the process of working on two novels, I'm working on them at the same time. I'm gonna be the great American Novelist - and you'll all get a copy of each when I'm done.

5. I make sassy hair. Like dreadfalls, haven't done woolfalls at all they seem way more simple though. I will be taking requests soon to anyone who's interested.

6. I like going to CC allllll the time. I'm a huge Party Monster, and I guess a bit much of a lush.

7. My ride is here...I must go home. Uhmmm...I can wipe my own ass...? I guess that's a good one.

[jadnifer]

Do I have to come up with 7??

Here goes nothing..

1) I once dyed my hair black with blue tint in it. I miss it and Im going to dye it again.

2) Im Christian. Although Im not a member of any church because I dont believe everything one religion says so I wouldnt feel right joining their church if I didnt

3) Im very unsuperficial

4) I want to be a psychologist and work at an in-patient hospital.

5) I hate taboos. No matter what they are for.

6) Mushroom, onion, and extra cheese pizza from Papa John's is my favorite. (with the garlic butter)

7) I love karaoke. Even though I cant sing to save my life.

[phee]

Seven things about phee.... that you might not know.... hmmm....

1.) In highschool I was in a deathmetal band with Odims called CLOT. We only ever did one show, it was at the Black Student Union talent show... The rest of the band then wanted to go grunge, so Odims and I began writing industrial music after that.

2.) I have done the music for several collage movies and several collage plays, inluding: The Jungle Book, The Tempest, MacBeth, Echos, and Edmund.

3.) I am a lucid dreamer, in other words when I dream I am aware of it and can manipulate the dream world around me. Usually I find it better though to let the dream run it's course, it seems to have less conflict with my subconscience that way.

4.) In Elementry school, I was called "space freak" because of my unrelenting interest in outer space and science fiction.

5.) I fucking hate the taste of coconut...

6.) I used to do masonry for years, I tore down and repaired my own chimny on my house.

7.) I have been married twice now, I was married for 4 years and have a 7 year old daughter.

[sass_in_the_pants]

1. My favorite color is cerulean. I loved it so much that I ate the crayola crayon when I was four years old.

2. When I was in Italy, I crashed a party thrown by the American embassy for all the cardinals who had just received their rings from the pope. It was an accident. I ate asparagus and drank champagne and when someone asked me what exactly I do for the embassy I said 'Work too hard for too little money, doesn't everybody?' and then laughed like I belonged.

3. At my wedding, for our first dance, my husband and I tap danced. That is my all-time favorite memory.

4. I am not a karaoke singer, I am a karaoke performer. Once you see me perform 'Trashy Women' by Confederate Railroad, your life will never be the same. I killed in Hamburg, MI.

5. In my family, we have a Christmas tradition of hanging all of the serving utensils from the Christmas tree. I'm not really sure why we do this. I just know it's not Christmas without a soup ladel nestled in those branches.

6. When the twins are born, I plan to always follow my instincts with Baby A, and never follow my instints with Baby B. That way, we can settle this debate once and for all. And I am guaranteed at least one kid that's okay.

7. I made up a game called Awkward Questions. For this game, I ask people Awkward Questions and they have to answer them. It's really only fun for me, but for some reason everyone still wants to play it.

[jadnifer]

SASS: That game sounds like it would be fun to play!!

Okay, that made me snarf. *LOL*

New thread!! Let's play

[hunhee]

Wow.. seven things eh..

1. I was born in Korea and was adopted with my biological brother at the age of 5, he was 7. I was actually born with the name Hun Hee.. so of course naturally why I picked it for this board.

2. I've been married once, will be completely divorced soon..

3. I have a cat (berkley) and a lizard (dot matrix)

4. I like being social, but I like quiet time as well. Lately I've been social, but I feel the hunhee bat cave calling my name.

5. I used to be a huge Sci-Fi buff, I've fallen off of that when I met this guy who sorta made fun of sci-fi things, and I sorta hid the fact from him for a long time..till he ran into my box of sci fi stuff that i couldn't bear to throw out. I had mentioned to him in the past that I used to go to Star Trek conventions, but I think he dismissed it.. I guess that sorta goes with my "I love all things nerdy, especially the men"

6. I love art.. i love art history... i love museums and old things.. i love going to art museums and gallaries.. I always post a picture of a different art piece at work on my background and i write the name of the painter and the name of the painting..and when asked what the painting's about, I usually can ramble off some interesting factoid about the artist.. I do this to enrich my life, and learn more little by little where it's almost non-threatening.. and I've found now that my co-workers are learning along with me and I've sparked their curiosity. Can you tell i love learning?

7. I went to college to study history, but not just history, i was most fascinated with religions and it's effects on the culture around them. In the aspects of religion, you can say I'm an observer. I've been to so many different mosques, temples, and churches, most of which were friendly experiences, some somewhat weird. I'm not a huge fan of organized religion for myself, but i really do find them fascinating.. so if you have a church that you go to that you think is slightly out of the ordinary.. PM me.. I wouldn't mind observing..

Okay enough about me.. i hate talking about me.. i love focusing on other people..so NEXT (oops i threw in another thing about me..hehe)

[Kit Kat P]

[Homicidalheathen]

'At my wedding, for our first dance, my husband and I tap danced. That is my all-time favorite memory'...

That is awesome Sass! Did you meet someone who already knew how or learn it for the wedding?

It is very romantic.

[Shade Everdark]

1. I have a stuffed Totoro. A giant stuffed Totoro, i.e. 4' tall. I have this because the sister of my Japanese girlfriend (at the time) had gotten it as a gift from a stalker ex and didn't have room in her apartment, or want it. So, she offered to ship it to me, just to get rid of it without throwing it away. It showed up at my doorstep about four months after I'd returned to the States and totally forgot about it.

2. Though I ultimately only majored in Japanese, I spent two years trying to major in theatre, too. Didn't turn out too well. On the other hand, I did get to learn classical Japanese in the bargain.

3. I re-read my favorite novel, Lord of the Rings, once each year.

4. I have been inside the Buddha. (Mind, out of gutter. Now!)

5. I have a completely unreasoning fear of insects. Spiders are not included in this (unless they're abnormally huge, like the one Gaf posted).

6. I will not eat ground meat of any kind. Shredded, okay, ground, no.

7. I play in two blog-based RPGs.

[saechalyn]

1. When driving, I don’t like to take the same route to and from a place. I will go out of my way to avoid this.

2. My mother grew up in an orphanage and doesn’t know her exact birth date. When I was in Ireland during college I traveled to her birthplace (Noury) and tried to track it down, but they only had Protestant records, no Catholics.

3. Speaking of Catholicism, I was very devout as a child and seriously contemplated becoming a nun. I went so far as to research different orders in high school. For those who don't know me, I am no longer catholic...nor christian...nor do I believe in god. How the mighty have fallen!

4. I have an egg allergy that’s gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. I miss ice cream!

5. I’m originally from New York and lived in Manhattan on 9/11/01.

6. I usually shower twice a day and I need one before I leave the house. I would rather be late for wherever than skip showering, I just feel disgusting without it.

7. I am DEATHLY afraid of snakes, even stupid little harmless ones. I have no idea why.

[Kit Kat P]

Hmmm grr gawd, uhm here:

5. I make sassy hair. Like dreadfalls, haven't done woolfalls at all they seem way more simple though. I will be taking requests soon to anyone who's interested.

Not to be too dense, what is a dreadfall and woolfall?

'At my wedding, for our first dance, my husband and I tap danced. That is my all-time favorite memory'...

That is awesome Sass! Did you meet someone who already knew how or learn it for the wedding?

It is very romantic.

Aw, thanks! We learned it just for the wedding. We took an adult ed class at Schoolcraft Community College. We didn't tell anybody, it was our little secret. So, when it was time for our dance the music started (I've Got the World on a String by Frank Sinatra) and we're not really moving we're just swaying a little and then I let go of his hand and we're just standing next to eachother and all of the people sitting next to the dance floor get these panicked looks on their faces like 'Oh my god! They forgot they're supposed to be dancing!' and they're mouthing the word 'DANCE!' at us and motioning for us to start dancing. Then the tempo picks up, BAM! Kick. Kick, Kick. Shuffle. Grapevine. And we're tapping across the floor and everyone just froze. I could hear this murmur ripple through the crowd 'Are they...no, it couldn't be...they're...no...they're tap dancing. They're really tap dancing!' and within moments everyone is up on their feet, the ones in the back were standing on their chairs, and they're all cheering and clapping and whistling. I didn't know people gave standing ovations for a couple's first dance, but apparently, if you tap dance, you bring down the house. People STILL tell us how much they loved it. I think the best compliment came from our best man who whispered to me later that night 'If any of our friends had their weddings scheduled for this year, I would tell them to cancel it, because yours is way better'

Not that weddings are competitions of course, but I still like that ours won.

See? I told you it was my all-time favorite memory.

[Sybil]

7. I made up a game called Awkward Questions. For this game, I ask people Awkward Questions and they have to answer them. It's really only fun for me, but for some reason everyone still wants to play it.

*Gasps..*

We made up the same game..

i made it up when i was 20.

i am now 29.

Which one of us can actually "Claim" this game?

[freydis]

6. I usually shower twice a day and I need one before I leave the house. I would rather be late for wherever than skip showering, I just feel disgusting without it.

Same here! I also hate going to sleep without one....

[flowofwoe]

1) When I was much younger (7-10) I had a cyst on my right thigh bone and woke up every night with the pain of 15 charlie horses. The only thing that made it stop was aspirin and scalding hot water. The doctors were convinced for about three years that I was lying and insane, then they found the cyst. . . I had it removed and left that part of myself in Ann Arbor.

2) I own a red lebaron convertible that seems to attract deer. One ran into the side and then after I finished replacing all the bent parts and I was about to get a paint job another one ran into my path. . . I hate the bambi. . . Right now I drive a borrowed teal festiva.

3) I love the steady drone of fans. . . it's peaceful and makes me sleepy.

4) I don't apologize unless I truly believe that I've done something wrong. This causes problems from time to time, but I'd rather not be a hypocrite.

5) I love to dance in wild, chaotic, bend over backwards, crazy movements. I love to feel the joy of the music. To become lost and somehow perfectly placed by the rhythm.

6) I own two corsets and will likely own more. Corsets are like a hug that lasts all night. Plus the lack of oxygen is a lot like being drunk.

7) Sometimes I really, really, miss cuddling someone while I fall asleep.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

1. I have been married 3 times. My first was annulled within the first week. My second lasted a few years but she liked sex with other people more than with me... 3rd times the charm they say... 12 years and counting.

2. I've never gone to college.

3. I too, can not get lost. I don't blame it on God or some special gift though. I have a large nose.. which means that the little bit of pure iron we all have at the tip of our nose is larger.. which means I can find north faster than the average person.

4. I notice things that other people don't. Like... that dead deer 100 feet off the road in the tall grass as we drive by at 80mph. I only have to be in a room for a few mintues and I can tell you where everything in it is. Which pisses me off... cause I loose stuff all the time.

5. I know more about Pink Floyd than you do.

6. I cry all the time. At just about anything. if it makes me sad... I cry.

7. My nich name is high school was "Slut"

[sass_in_the_pants]

*Gasps..*

We made up the same game..

i made it up when i was 20.

i am now 29.

Which one of us can actually "Claim" this game?

LOL. great minds...

I don't remember when we started playing. I just remember asking our friend Dave which one of his twin sisters he would rather get a blowjob from, and it just got worse from there. Like I said, I don't know why people want to play this game. It's really quite terrible.

3. I too, can not get lost. I don't blame it on God or some special gift though. I have a large nose.. which means that the little bit of pure iron we all have at the tip of our nose is larger.. which means I can find north faster than the average person.

I have a big nose. I get lost like all the time. This is so not fair.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Get in touch with your nose. Close your eyes and just... be. Which direction do you think is north? You should be pretty close to it. It takes a bit of practice.
