Got Tagged - Things about me meme.

[strangevisitor7]

I got tagged by lyl_devil, so here it goes:

a. list seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself
b. tag seven people to do the same
c. do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it"



1. I hate to go to sleep. I can be a terrible insomniac. When I'm traveling on business i exist on < 3 hours sleep because i hate sleeping in hotel rooms.

2. I wrote my first fan fiction back when i was a kid (1970's). They hadn't even coined the term fanfiction yet. It was a Bonanza Mary Sue story - hey I was 10 what do you expect. I'm dying to find it again just for the curiosity factor

3. I spent 7 years teaching chemistry at a private high school while my kids were little before going back to industry and process engineering. I still miss it sometimes

4. I'm a TV addict but most of you know that. I am easily susceptible to DVD marathons. As witnessed by the Jericho first season marathon I had a few weeks back and I blame lyl_devil for my new Magnificent Seven obsession. Guys I am weak stop throwing these good shows at me.

5. I lurked for almost 3 years before I entered the fray of LJ. Wrote my very first posted story on June 6th, 2007. It was the first time anyone but me had read something I'd written.

6. I am obsessed with the Oscars - though I've been growing out of it. My goal was to see every movie that ever won an Oscar in the top 6 categories (movie, director and acting). Of the 80 best picture winners - I haven't seen 3. As for the acting categories I'm missing about 40 movies

7. I love to bowl. I carry a 160 average and bowl in a league every Sunday night with Hubby.

I have no idea what you're talking about. *whistles innocently*

The first time I bowled, I scored a 7. I don't remember what I scored the last time I bowled - there was too much beer involved. :D

I hear ya on the tv addict bit. If I augmented my standard practicing with the amount of time I spend watching tv I'd have a spot in The Met.

I love bowling, too. Mu Phi Epsilon always has a bowling night as a part of rush and it's one of the best parts of the semester. 30-40ish friends crowding 4 lanes while randomly bursting out into musical numbers? With choreography? Priceless.

Which reminds me......Wizard of Oz?

All my early stuff was terribly Mary Sue. it wasn't until last year that i stepped up to really improve and post.

Bowling is fun and the only sport that gets better with alcohol. :)

TV addiction - do they have a 12 step program - not that i would enter one. I'm a happy addict. ;p

The dancing on the alleys was my favorite scene in "across the universe"

As for the story - it has stalled. But I promise it is on the list - I need a plot bunny to make the concept ork and i can't find one.

LOL. I can only imagine the fun you've had. I must try it myself sometime. :p
