7 Things

LL was tagged to do this meme (I have no idea where “meme” came from), and while she didn’t specifically tag me, I decided to try it for today’s post.

This is the idea:

• Share 7 random or weird facts about yourself
• Tag 7 random people at the end of the post and include links to their blogs
• Let each person know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I hate feet. My feet, his feet, her feet, any feet. I don’t like them near me, or touching me, and I hate people touching mine. Socked feet are slightly more tolerable, but they still creep me out a little.

2. I’m extremely shy until you get to know me. I don’t like large groups of people, and I’m more comfortable one on one than in a group at all. Even if I’m with a large group of friends where I know every single person, I lean toward the shy side.

3. I am scared to death of ET. It scarred me as a kid, and I can’t get past it as an adult. I can logically sit here and tell you that it’s a movie, and completely not real, and that I should have no fear of it. However, the illogical side of me completely ignores logic, and freaks out at the sight of anything ET related.

4. I love electronics and computers. I like figuring out how they work, using them, fixing them, etc. I love the Internet, and have a sometimes unhealthy addiction to it. Sadly, I often prefer interacting with people via e-mail and chat room than interacting face to face.

5. I dislike cooking. I am not a bad cook, I just don’t like doing it. It’s hard to work a full 9, 10 or 11 hour day, and then go home and stand over a hot stove for another hour and some.  One of my new goals is to try and cook more, and eat microwave dinners less.

6. I love to read. I prefer a good book over a television any day. I will never watch the movie of a book I want to read before I’ve read the book. I often don’t watch the movie even after I’ve read the book, for fear that it will disappoint me.

7. I’m a very picky eater. I don’t like trying new things, though I’ve been making an effort to do it more often. The list of things I don’t like could span an entire page. I’m also a habitual eater. Once I find something I like at a restaurant, I rarely deviate from it.

Ok, so those are my 7 things. I’m not going to tag 7 people because, well, I don’t know 7 people with blogs. But if you want to do it, consider yourself tagged! Just leave me a comment, or send me an e-mail so I can see your list!
