6 random things meme
Jan. 6th, 2009 05:51 pmI've been tagged by two people for the 6 random things meme. Help! The rules, as I understand them (and I'm sure Teresa and Deirdre will correct me if I'm wrong) are to jot down 6 random things about yourself and then tag 6 people to do the same, including the person who tagged you. I don't think I understand that last rule, though? Doesn't it mean that Deirdre and Teresa would end up doing the meme over and over again - once for every person they tagged? Does that count as a random thing?
1. Best present I ever gave anyone, IMHO: I had someone from the State come and put up two bluebird houses on my parent's property for father's day one year. We have had bluebirds, tree swallows, or both nesting in the boxes from that year forward.
2. I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a little girl. I don't know quite what dissuaded me from this dream, but Apollo 13 might have had something to do with it?
3. I am terribly shy about singing on stage, but it's something I always wanted to do. (And now I can say I've done it!) OTOH, I'm very comfortable singing in a choir or chorus, and love that even more.
4. If I could turn into an animal, I think it might be a bird, because I'd love to be able to fly.
5. I used to feel awfully guilty about leaving our dog when I had to go to school. One day, when we were kids, my brother and sister and I rode our bikes to Church. We hadn't chained up the dog, who followed us in and marched right up the aisle! (He was a beagle. Very cute, but how embarrassing!)
6. And the thing I mentioned in another meme - I took my goldfish to the vet. That fish died, eventually, but he gave me another who's now the subject of an experiment - the doc helped me set up one of his "clean tanks" in a home setting. That's had its ups and downs! But Charlie Weasley goldfish is still with me after 3 1/2 years and counting, which is the best I've ever done with a goldfish. )
Tagging Teresa, Deirdre, Sigune, Anne Arthur, Miriam, Froggyfield and R.J. Anderson, but only if you are happy to do it and haven't already. I'll put the tags in properly, Teresa and Deirdre, if/when you show me how! (Is that random thing 7?)
Happy Epiphany, everyone!
