A week ago I was tagged by Come Running for this meme, and so now I'm doing it as a procrastination tactic before putting up other new posts. However, I have a couple of other posts in the works, and I hope to be putting them up shortly.
Rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post the rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself; some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names and link to them.
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blog.
1. I don't generally use, or even like, nicknames for myself. This stems from an intense dislike of the most common nickname for my given name. There are only about five people I can think of right now who are allowed to call me by a nickname, and they are the only ones. (If one of you is reading this--and you know who you are--rest assured, you're one of the five.)
2. I can do a mean Southern accent when I'm reading something written in dialect. I once made the collective jaws of my English class drop reading aloud in class, which was very amusing.
3. I always had a wide age range amongst my friends. In fact, for many years, it was very unusual for me to have a friend my age; all my friends were either younger or older than I (usually older).
4. I used to think I was born in a cursed year. Occasionally, I still do.
5. I can still do a cartwheel.
6. I enjoy shopping the most when I go alone or with very entertaining people. Otherwise, it wears me out and I rarely buy anything. Also, I rarely buy something unless it's on sale or so cheap that it doesn't need to be.
7. I know the hand signals for "Do Re Mi" etc.; we were taught them in my middle school chorus class and had to do the hand signals as we practiced scales.
I tag Apple, SJ, Erachet, Halfshared, Bad4Shidduchim, Bas~Melech, and Corner Point. No offense meant to anyone I didn't include. And those I did tag, I'd love to see what you have to say, but consider yourselves under no obligation.

Cool. This is way too complicated..don't know the rules. Also, too bad I didn't know about the cartwheel thingie earlier..I'd have made you treat me to one, lol.
Where, in the parking lot?! Nisht tznius! :-P
The rules aren't so complicated. Just copy/paste the part about the rules, and then list 7 random facts about yourself. But if you don't want to, you don't have to. :)
Got it! I didn't see the rules at the top of the post. I've wanted to do cartwheels all my life..but never learned how to. Oh well, I think it's too late..
2. I can do a mean Southern accent when I'm reading something written in dialect. I once made the collective jaws of my English class drop reading aloud in class, which was very amusing.
Haha that's so funny. You probably have an east coast accent I'm assuming, too. I have more of a slight hick accent rather than southern. It usually depends on how tired I am and what words I'm saying.
This meme sounds oddly similar to the "eight things" meme that went around this summer...actually, it's identical, except that the number is seven instead of eight. So I'm just going to refer anyone interested in my answers back to that post and consider my chiyuv fulfilled. :)
halfshared--yes, unfortunately it probably is a bit late to learn cartwheels. It's much easier when you're small, so you're lighter and the ground isn't so far away...
hakiruv--I have what is called a typical "neutral" American accent.
SJ--fine, have it your way. :-P
Now I get to commment on yours :-P
1. (Grins widely) :-P
2. "Some people have Southern accents, and those are hot. Scraps is a ______ ________" Fill in the blanks with SB voice...
3. Me too, except the age range is growing as I grow :)
4. Hmmm...so then so are some other people we both know...have you discussed this with them? :-P
But really, what do you mean?
5. Slippery socks, anyone? :-P
6. Shopping? Um...eeew. I'd just rather not go
7. Now that's totally random. That'll be beneficial for life, that will
Thanks for sharing with us, Scraps!
:-)
CP--
1) Are you reassured now?
2) That comment is funny because it's coming from Strongbad via you.
3) So's mine, but it's expanded to include my own age. :-P
4) Don't worry, present company excepted of course. (Sorry, Ez.) I used to think it was cursed cuz I didn't know anyone my age who was nice...
5) Hey, I managed it on the second try, okay?
6) No one's making you. :)
7) Yes, I'm aware. Hey, it called for weird/random facts.
never could do cartwheels... tumblesauces used to be my thing, though.
:P
Yeah, I ignored it at first. WhatEVER. :P
I thought I was cursed to be a Cleveland sports fan. Still do, actually.
I can a cartwheel too!
dreamer--are tumblesauces what we used to call somersaults? Head-over-heels?
ezzie--you ARE cursed to be a Cleveland sports fan. Sorry!
mickey mouse--welcome! All right then, I'm not the only talented one around here.
New post, please?
