Ten Unknowns

Here are ten little known facts about ME:
  1. I still own my Raggedy Anne blanket that I've had since I was two.
  2. Meeting new people terrifies me. I seriously have near anxiety attacks. But, once I get to know someone, you can't get me to shut up.
  3. I hate peas and raisins because they burst all over in your mouth. I can eat pretty much anything else (but just because I CAN eat it, doesn't mean I like it)...unless it's slimy. I don't like slimy food.
  4. I don't like talking on the phone. I usually run out of things to say after about fifteen minutes. This is ironic because the only contact I had with Husband for the first four months of our relationship was the phone.
  5. I buried my gold fish alive when I was 10 because I got tired of taking care of it.
  6. In my head, I can speak six or seven different languages. Number of languages actually spoken: unknown...but I think it's closer to two or three.
  7. When flipping through TV channels, I always stop on the Spanish channel and the Fitness channel...in hopes that I will learn Spanish and get fit through osmosis. I also always stop when I see the commercial for "Hip Hop Abs". I secretly want to own it.

  8. One of my very favorite songs of all time is "Mmmm Bop" by Hanson. I listen to it in secret to avoid ridicule.
  9. I can't borrow money from anyone unless I know that I can pay them back within a week or so. And, if I don't pay them back, I get physically sick and stay that way until I do. That is why I rarely use my credit card.
  10. Even though I've tried to be somewhat athletic my whole life, I hate going to exercise. I'm fine once I'm there, but getting there is like pulling teeth.

So now that you've shared your secret love of "Mmm-Bop", does that mean this is open-season for the ridiculing to begin???

Murderer! I am now going to report you to the ASPCA for animal homicide!

Ummm...you can't make fun of me until you've seen the special dance that I do while I listen to the music.

And, I'm not exactly a murderer. It wasn't pre-meditated or anything like that. I just took the fish out and did it. And I cried the entire time. Perhaps it was man-slaughter...or fish-slaughter.

Is it really a secret that you like Mmmm Bop if you post it on your blog? /me points and laughs

kidding!

Yes, it's really a secret. I trust those that read my blog to not tell anyone. Plus, I'm sure that you have secrets and if you tell anyone, I will find out what they are and exploit them.
