Tagged?

Apparently I've been tagged. ...and these are the rules:
A ~ Each person has to list 6 facts/habits about them
B~ After part A, go to 6 people's blogs and leave a comment letting them know to read your blog, and that they have been tagged. List at the end of your posting who you have tagged.

So, Here goes...

A few facts/habits about me:

1) I am addicted to q-tips. I clean my ears on average I'd say twice per day. Now, I know doctors don't recommend this, and in fact recommend the opposite, but it's an obsession I've had for at least 10 years and I just can't let go of it. The good news is that I've learned some safe practice procedures and haven't given myself an ear infection from it in at least 5 years

2) My first two jobs where I was actually on a payroll were as a soccer referree for 6 year olds, and a snow cone maker at Rainbow Snow.

3) When I was 10 my parents realized I spent far too much time watching TV so they said they'd pay me $250 to not watch for a year. At the time that seemed close enough to what would make me a millionnaire so I went for it. I cheated a few times, but 3 hours worth of tv in a year isn't too bad. When I got my money at the end of the year I resisted the temptation to buy a TV , but I did buy a computer (commodore 64) that I could waste time equally well with by playing video games.

4) I am the disclaimer queen… I have to give a disclaimer before everything I do. It's the “Keep expectations low” philosophy… then there’s nowhere to go but up, right? Nobody’s disappointed.

5) Apparently I’ve recently become a text messager… I went $22 over on my phone bill this month just from receiving/sending more than my allotted 200 text messages. I’ve now upgraded to unlimited so all is well. Text away.

6) I have noticeable reactions to embarrassment that I really hate. For instance, if anyone asks me a personal question that I’m a little embarrassed about I tend to smile really big and I have no control over it. The most specific example: when people have asked me if I’m interested in a guy, even if I’m not I’ll get this uncontrollable grin on my face, so of course they think I like him no matter what I say, or whether it’s true. I hate it!

So since I'm new to this there aren't even six people that know about this so I'll just tag a few: Dave, hit it. And Mindy (here's my blog site by the way...), and Melinda (hey... colorado's coming right up), and... let's just go with that for now.
