Here are the rules-
1. Reveal six weird facts/things/habits about yourself and then tag six people
2. Leave a "You're Tagged!" comment to let the people you have tagged know they have to reveal six things (or the entire blogosphere will explode and it will be their fault)
3. Leave a comment HERE to let me know when you have completed your mission
SIX THINGS
1. I have a crooked pinky. I revealed this oddity in a recent thread of Sonya's. My grandmother also had one. The only way to fix it is to have it broken. No thank you. We like to make fun of it & call it a birth defect.
2. I'm agnostic, but have two ministers as in-laws. I didn't realize I was agnostic until about a year ago, though. I have never broached this subject with the in-laws & very well might keep it under wraps. Obviously they are committed to their beliefs & faith. I'm not going to change them & am in no mood for them to try and convince me. We'd just go round in circles.
3. I hate pickles & olives. All kinds. I can stomach black olives chopped into something (pizza, taco dip), but try to avoid them & pick them off when appropriate.
4. It took me 8 years (not actuall time in school) to get my bachelor's degree. I hit college upon hs graduation in 1995. I went for a year (and one trimester) & then moved back home (basically forced by my family) for a few years because I was broke (it's a longer story than that, but you don't really want to hear about it). Then moved in with Chris & went to Milwaukee for 3 semesters. Then moved to Madison & went here for 5 semesters. So really, I wasn't IN college for 8 years, I just took some time moving around & working in between all those years. As a bonus: The only class I ever failed was a Java programming class. The first 3 weeks were fine..then suddenly I was lost beyond belief. I should've gone for tutoring right away. I didn't, tried to muddle through & ultimately failed it.
5. I sold adhesive tape. I had to cold call framing business & such to sell them adhesive tape. I also serviced an existing clientel. I hated that job sooooo much.
6. My grade school class only had 5 kids (plus me). I loved it. Made it hard to transition to junior high/middle school, but I loved the individual attention and ability of teachers to work with students of varying levels, tailoring lessons to each.

My BIL also has two crooked pinkies. He gets embarrassed about it.
I too am agnostic but no ministers in the family, other than Michelle and I being ordained through the internet a few years ago.
I will do my tag tomorrow after my quake tribute is done.
*smooch*
Mmmmm, pickles and olives are the yummiest.
I love black olives! 6 kids in a classroom? Wow! That would be awesome!
*smooch*
1. I have perfect pinkies
2. I am non-religious, which is kind of like agnostic only more so.
3. I hate sweet pickles, dill are okay; I love olives.
4. It took me 6 years to get my BA, but I was on a leave of absence for 1 and 1/2 of those and spent 6 months trying to figure out the red tape of transferring credits from U of MN to Cornell, because I left Ithaca with 5 credits unfinished and Cornell decided that 5 U of MN credits did not equal 5 Ivy League credits so I has to take one more course.
5. I buy adhesive tape!
6. My grade school class had about 25 kids. My high school class had had about 140. We were, wait. Never mind. I should use this is my own weird facts thing, which I will do when the workmen are done.
crooked pinkies are genetic, my Mom and sis have them.
Oooh! My first tag! I feel so speshul. :)
I'll try and do this later tonight. It will be hard. I'm so normal, there's nothing weird about me. *grin*
*snort*
*points and laughs at Jen*
What? *innocent look*
*giggle*
Ha-so the people on my tag list *could* be the people I think are weirdest. Take it how you will.
:-)
Kewl facts. My kids and DH will eat olives all by themselves. I buy the kind for pizza. They'll have them as a snack. That's weird. I'm not a big fan of olives, except on something or pickles, except on a burger.
Okay, I've done my six. I won't post them until tomorrow, though!
I did my six and posted them, Kim.
I have a feeling your facts will not disappoint us, swami!
Thanks for doing your tag.
Great. I'm weird.
I've done my tag.
I have two crooked pinkies. Except mine are crooked because I jammed them several times in junior high volleyball.
My dad was a Methodist minister for many, many years.
I love pickles and olives - but only black olives. I don't much like green olives.
Oops. I forgot which blog I was in.
My things are up, Kim. Good lord, I'm boring!
You know you and I both have the #1 thing. LOL!
*sits with Weltek and throws olives a mm and monsty*
Blucky, blucky, blucky!
I don't shave my toe hair, but I will cut it with the nail clippers. Never thought about shaving it.
I tagged you for the six things. And I don'ty care that you already got tagged. :P
