hefalumps and woozles

So (I think) I have been what they (cyber people, I suppose) call "tagged" to make a list. Not just any list, but a list about me. Random things about me. I think the tag was for 8 things, but I'm just going to start and see where this goes.

1. I am shy and often uncomfortable around people.
2. When I'm not too busy doing #1, I'm excessively outgoing and silly and goofy
3. I used to dream of being an anchorwoman.
4. I love the freckle-y thing I have on my left index toe
5. I'm slightly ashamed at my extreme excitement over being "tagged" for this list. I've never been tagged before.
6. I love having lots of friends and lengthy discussions
7. I dream of the day I will have more than 2 readers for my blog
8. I am an addict. If there is something to read, I can't help myself
9. I learned most of what I know about US History from The Singing American (Johnny Horton)
10. I try to use correct grammar. I especially cringe at improper pronounciation and hanging prepositions.
11. My favorite camping snack is a brown sugar and cinnamon pop tart with a cold, crunchy dill pickle
12. I love growing things
13. I'm paranoid about being an imposition on others
14. From all my days in Tae Kwon Do, the only physical residue is one wicked-cool muscle on my right foot
15. I don't walk on grates. Or manholes. Or anything that indicated that there may be a hole or room or person beneath that could possibly be under me, waiting to reach up and grab me - or open up and swallow me whole.
16. I hate dolls
17. I'm still sad that my mom would never let me make ice cream in my Barbie ice Cream Shoppe set thingy. It was the only redeeming quality of that gift, and I never got to use it....
18. I can still recall, with great vividity, 2 very disturbing dreams I had at the ages of 4 and 6.
19. I was born on Elvis's birthday
20. I cry waaaay more than I would ever let on to anyone else
21. Books elicit more emotion from me than most any person could (or has, anyway)
22. The sky is enthralling to me. Any day. Any night. Any time.
23. If I won the lottery, after settling my debt and a little bit of sharing, I would buy a watermellon farm and then I would spend the rest of the money on school. I would get about 3 more undgraduate degrees, then move on to some sort of masters degree.
24. After 23 years of little to no TV, I have discovered the joys of mindless enterntainment
25. After 24 "things" about me, I think I'm ready for bed.
