meme time

Nan tagged me for a meme.

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. You need to tag 7 others and list their names on your blog. Remember to leave a comment for them letting them know they have been tagged and to read your blog.

Here are mine:
1. I didn’t have allergies until a few years ago. Now I’m allergic to shellfish, I think mold, pencillin, and other seasonal things. When I get an attack I look like I’ve been crying, as in this morning, and I feel like I have to run around telling everyone that I’m FINE, it’s just ALLERGIES.
2. One of my best talents may be worrying. I’m working on this.
3. I just got tickets to see both Prince and Kelly Clarkson in July. I love music.
4. I am a geek about clothes. I love clothes. But I wish I was better about finding pieces that I can invest in and then accent pieces and figuring out a clothing budget that works for me. Part of my problem is that I have expensive taste. Line up four perfectly plain white T-shirts and I will pick the $150 one.
5. I subscribe to the following magazines: Jane, Brides, Modern Bride, ReadyMade, Entertainment Weekly (I got a $9 subscription, so I went with it), Elle Décor, my New Yorker just lapsed. We also get Metropolis and will be getting Met Home. I buy InStyle regularly, and Bitch and Bust are probably my faves. I have subscribed to Mother Jones, Interview, Rolling Stone, and various others over the years. I think I got on a cheap subscription list, and when they’re cheap I can’t resist. I think my first subscription was Seventeen. I know I am missing some. I really am a magazine junkie. Can’t get enough! Also, I hate to fly but the airport newsstands usually calm me down. I buy lots of political magazines. I want to subscribe to Vanity Fair, now that I think about it.
6. I am not a morning person. I wish I was, but it would be going against my body chemistry. I would like it if the world ran from like 10-6 instead, so that I could stay up later and get up later.
7. I’m really picky about my food. I am an adventurous eater, especially considering how picky I was as a child, but I have certain rules that must be obeyed. Textures are key. I don’t eat canned peas because of the texture, but I like pea soup, sugar snap peas cooked in the pod, etc. My food cannot touch, unless it is things that are supposed to go together and don’t have opposing textures, i.e. mashed potatoes and meat are ok to touch, mashed potatoes and corn, not so much. Gravies and sauces can only touch the things they are supposed to touch. When I moved in with William, my sister bought me a pink plastic divided plate. I love divided plates, esp. at picnics, but I don’t need one at regular meals. J Now foods like Thai or other Asian or Indian foods, that are more like stews, etc., that’s also OK. It’s meant to be that way. Also I eat one thing at a time usually. Usually veggies first, because they are better when they are way hot.


The 7 folks I'm tagging are: Found Out About Me, Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget, Librarygrrrl, Tim’s Dishwasher, the Kilipino, Faking Good Breeding , and Kalisah.
