Inconspicuous

I was tagged by Vixen at Vixen's Den for this.

The Rules:

* Link the person who tagged you
* Mention the rules on your blog
* Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
* Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them
* Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged

My Quirks:

1. I can remember the words to songs from ads I saw when I was 4, but for some reason I can't remember lines from a play to save my life.
2. My pink walls of my living room/kitchen/dining room have deer horns hanging on them.
3. I'd much rather be fishing or swimming.
4. I am incapable of taking a nap unless I'm horribly ill or pregnant.
5. I'm bilingual: English and Danish (pretty much useless unless you live there).
6. I, like Vixen, am also one of those people with the second toe longer than the big toe. That means I rule my house, didn't you know?

Just Join in the Love Fest

I was tagged by Vixen to do this one. :-D

The rules: Write a blog entry with 10 weird, random, facts, habits or goals about yourself.

1. I have to check the stove before I leave the house to make sure that it's off...even if it hasn't been on all day...
2. I have no idea how many cats I've owned in my life time, but I only have one right now and she is quite possibly the craziest cat on earth.
3. Right now there is a television show playing on my tv that seems to be about Pinatas...very odd.
4. I have never tried nor have I ever been interested in trying any illegal drugs. Why mention this now? Because this pinata show could easily have been inspired by someone's drug trip.
5. There is a small thimble collection hanging on my wall that belonged to my Granny. It was only a tiny fraction of her collection, which could have probably been used to open a thimble museum.
6. My child is obsessed with tree frogs. I think it has something to do with Go Diego Go!
7. My fingers feel like sausages right now! I hate swelling! It's so annoying.
8. I'm annoyed with my doctor's office. I said I needed an appointment on Monday. She told me it was Monday. She circled the Monday on the card. I didn't look at the date. It was in fact for Tuesday. *growls* So I left work for nothing and tomorrow I get to go again.
9. I've got my hospital bag mostly packed. Go me!
10. I took an hour long nap today, and I could still go to sleep right now!

Birth Month Meme

Julia tagged me for the Birth Month Meme!

The Rules:

1. Mention the person who tagged you and create a link back to them.
2. Copy-paste the traits for all the twelve months (see below).
3. Pick your month of birth (see below).
4. Highlight the traits that apply to you.
5. Tag 12 people and let them know by visiting their blogs and leaving a comment for them.
6. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve done it!

I'm breaking one of the rules, because I'm not tagging anyone. *gasps* I barely have the energy to write a single blog lately, as you all might have noticed, so if anyone wants to they can do this Meme and say I tagged you, but I'm not going to make it official.

I'm a September girl. Let's see if I'm anything like all the other girls and guys out there.

Suave and compromising.
I actually looked up suave because the only picture I have in my head of suave is of a used car salesman with slicked back hair.

Suave - Courtesy of Dictionary.com - (of persons or their manner, speech, etc.) smoothly agreeable or polite; agreeably or blandly urbane.

Well I wouldn't say I'm urbane. But I'm extremely polite, or at least try to be, and I like to compromise instead of fighting.

Careful, cautious and organized.
Well, I am careful and cautious, but organized... I'd love to be organized, but I'm a messy person by heart. Not that I ever lose things. At least not often. I can always find the papers I need, it just may take an hour or so. LOL

Likes to point out people’s mistakes.
No way! I just like to tease you unrelentingly in my head if I told you you were being lame.

Likes to criticize.
Who likes to criticize?

Stubborn.
Um...yeah...

Quiet but able to talk well.
I think there are those who would argue that I am quiet. And

Calm and cool.
Most of the time.

Kind and sympathetic.
I hope so.

Concerned and detailed.
Yup.

Loyal but not always honest.
I don't lie! Unless it's something mean that you can't do anything about. Like a bad haircut that you're stuck with. I would of course tell a friend if...say the crotch had ripped out of her yoga pants and she was about to get on the thigh press machine...if I saw it. LOL Unfortunately I didn't. Sorry sweetie!!!

Does work well.
I try.

Very confident.
OMG NO!

Sensitive.
Yup.

Good memory.
What was the question?


Clever and knowledgeable.
I don't feel terribly clever or knowledgeable most of the time.

Loves to look for information.
Oh yes. Research is the best!

Must control oneself when criticizing.
Didn't we cover this?

Able to motivate oneself.
Except were exercise is concerned...

Understanding.
I try.

Fun to be around.
Let's see...I'm supposed to be dishonest and critical. How am I fun to be around? LOL

Secretive.
Not really.

Loves leisure and traveling.
Give me a tropical island please!

Hardly shows emotions.
I have no emotions. No, I don't! And you can't prove it. hehe

Tends to bottle up feelings.
Did you see my collection of bottles on the shelf?

Very choosy, especially in relationships.
Yup.

Systematic.
I am somewhat systematic.
