I've been tagged for this meme twice! Thanks Chana and Lvnsm27!
1) Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves.
2) The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed.
3) At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
~1~ I used to be petrified of the dark. I still get nervous when it's pitch black and I literally can't see my hand an inch away from my face.
~2~ My mother tried to tell me I couldn't get my ears pierced because "Jews don't put holes in their bodies." Then, ever the sharp-eyed child, I pointed out that the rebbetzin of our shul, as well as the local Chabad rebbetzin, had their ears pierced, as did their daughters. My mother relented when I was nine. ;-)
~3~ I hate avocado.
~4~ I have begun writing, and never completed, at least five books (I might be forgetting one or two). I even tried signing up for NaNoWriMo last year as a motivator, but it didn't work, because I didn't have a computer to write on at home, so my writing hours were severely curtailed.
~5~ I love to read, but I have a very low tolerance for authors who go on and on without ever getting to the point. Hence why I have a dislike for 19th-century British authors (many of whom were paid by the word). My favorite genre is fantasy, particularly young-adult fantasy, especially if there is also an element of historical fiction.
~6~ A lot of people think that I'm an extrovert (at least people who know me in real life). This is because I have the ability to make conversation with a brick wall. However, being able to talk a lot does not equal being an extrovert.
~7~ I kill bugs and open jars. If I was just a foot taller, I'd make a great guy. :-P
~8~ My parents always said my younger sister was going to end up taller than me. We're the same height, which I consider a triumph.
Okay, now I'm supposed to tag 8 people, but everyone has already done it, or been tagged by others. So I'll tag okee, sabra, and bella, and hope that at least one of them still reads this blog...

i so know what you mean about writers going on and on about nothing. I feel like saying I don't care about the curtains. lol
back then, books were their tv.
This is true. Also, many of them were written in installments, and only later compiled into books. I think that reading A Tale of Two Cities or Wuthering Heights a chapter at a time, a month apart, would be significantly more interesting than reading the whole book in a week. :)
1. i'm really not scared of the dark. it's my best thinking time.
2. lol
3. i began liking avocado about two years ago. mmm... guacomole...
4. i strated writing a book in sixth grade... then one in seventh... the next one attempted was after twelfth...
5. i guess we all like reading around here.
6. you sound like you're describing me. gosh.
7. me too. 'cept i am a foot taller. (well, not quite, but i AM taller than one of my brothers...)
8. nah, i'm the tallest girl in the family...
As soon as my younger brother was taller than I was we stopped physically fighting with each other. Was it because we had matured or that there was the possibility that he could finally beat ME up???
I also hate avacado! Guacamole is just saddening. :-)
Nice one, good to learn more about you.
dreamer:
1. I think that's one of the reasons I dislike the dark. Sometimes I think too much.
3. I try it again every so often, and I still don't like it.
6. I've been hearing that a lot lately...
come running--good question, what do you think the real reason was? ;)
chana--I don't begrudge other people their guacamole, I just don't like it myself. It's interesting, though--I find that most people either really like or really dislike avocado; no one just shrugs and says, "yeah, it's okay."
sw/fm--glad you enjoyed. :)
Interesting answers Scraps! - and what SWFM said, it is good to learn a bit more about you! :D
Hello Scraps!
You don't have a new post up but I feel like I ought to thank you for the comments on mine so this is an official hello and thank you. ;)
baleboosteh--thanks for dropping by! :)
chana--I don't find that I have nearly as much to say, nor as much of an audience to speak to, as you do. But I enjoy reading your posts and sharing my thoughts; I'm glad you enjoy hearing them. :)
lol @ number 7
~sarah~--I'm glad I can entertain you. :)
"Ye learn something new every day" - OK, Scraps. No avocado sushi for you.
Well, no avocado-only sushi for me. I'm usually too lazy to take it out of the California roll, which I otherwise like aside from the avocado.
Okay, I'm going to list the things you said that I am the same way about:
"I used to be petrified of the dark. I still get nervous when it's pitch black and I literally can't see my hand an inch away from my face."
"I hate avocado."
"I have begun writing, and never completed, at least five books"
"I love to read, but I have a very low tolerance for authors who go on and on without ever getting to the point." (though I differ in that I usually love those British authors, but it sometimes takes a bit out of me to make it through the book).
"My favorite genre is fantasy, particularly young-adult fantasy, especially if there is also an element of historical fiction."
Yay for being similar!
