A numbers game. I think it is GREAT fun and the idea is to put out there things about yourself that you think no one knows. I am reading some very funny and interesting things about my friends. And supposedly if you "like" the comment/list from that person they will then in turn give you a number to make your own list. Huh, I have liked quite a few and, yet, no one has given me a number. :O I must be REALLY boring!
So, as I walked dogs today I kept thinking what my list would be? Damn, it sure would not be as interesting as some of my friends. Heck, one person said she rode a roller coaster with Steven Tyler from Aerosmith once. What????
One thing that is a common thread is how many people are adopted. I never knew that about these people. That's pretty cool.
OK, so here is my list. I think it is dreadfully boring, but I couldn't think of anything more exciting or interesting. How sad is that? Or maybe how good is that!!! My life is pretty charmed. I am still waiting for someone on facebook to give me a number. It was quite hard to come up with this many things, so if I get a bigger number I am in trouble. That is supposing I actually DO get a number from someone. Maybe it has more to do with me not being very private, so no one really thinks they will see some great epiphany about me. I am NOT an enigma. I pretty much put myself out there and tell you how I feel about things. Most of my friends already know most of these things about me. Hmmm, yeah, not very interesting! Outhouse, party line, animals, gymkhana.........my life growing up.
Maybe I will modify this list and eventually recall some fabulously stunner of a fact about myself by the time I get a number and everyone will be all........."Oh Wow, what an interesting life!"........."Geez, you really are so cool".........."Who would have thought you lived such an interesting life!".........."You are inspiring and amazing"............hmmmmm...........probably not. My list will get responses like..........."Oh, that's nice".
My list
-
1 – I once had mice, gerbils, turtles, fish, cats, a dog,
a pony, goats, chickens, rabbits, parakeet and guinea pigs all at the same time
to take care of at home. My parents were very understanding.
2 – when I was 12 years old we moved to Maine without hot running water or central
heat. That means an outhouse. I had to shower at school.
3 – my dad’s nickname for me is Moldy because I “ate so
much and put it all over my head it must have molded” and he still calls me
Mold today.
4 – my childhood dogs were lhasa apso and border collies
and my first dog as an adult was a Siberian husky.
5 – I am completely tone deaf. I can’t even sing Happy
Birthday.
6 – I like cheese more than any other food and as a kid
would read a book about mice eating cheese while I ate cheese. I pretended to
nibble it as if I were a mouse.
7 – I won awards for gymkhana with my horse (pole bending
and barrel racing, etc.) and did it with a plain snaffle bit.
8 – My favorite childhood stories were made up by my
grandfather about Biffy Boo, a dog who walked on his tail, and his pal Emmy
Lou, a girl who walked on her head. They had some troubles getting around.
9 – in high school we had a party line phone. That means
two other neighbors shared our line. Can you imagine!!???
10 – I hiked the Knife's Edge and Angel's Landing and
most recently the Duomo in Florence
(almost as scary!!!).
11 – I sure don’t feel as interesting as everyone else.
