I've Been Tagged


I have a long-standing POLICY against participating in tags/memes/lists/blog awards/etc - but in this case I can't say "no". The fabulous Miss Ginger Grant GAVE ME AN HONEST BLOGGER AWARD on Sunday, and since Ginger is coming all the way to NYC (from Houston) for Drunken Dust Bunny Weekend, I am happy to participate. After all, I learned long ago NEVER to piss off a Drag Queen.

Ten Honest Things About Me:

1. I despise Facebook, and only log on briefly to answer "friend" requests. If you are my friend, call me, send me an email, or leave a comment on my blog. Don't "write on my wall".


2. When I was a kid, my favorite color was blue. In my 20's and 30's, it was green. Now it is red.

3. I am absolutely terrified of looking foolish in front of others. I am still haunted by embarrassing incidents from as far back as Kindergarten. These memories still sting like they happened yesterday.

4. I will slit your throat if you ever tell me you "forgot to eat". Seriously - I'll cut a (skinny) bitch.

5. I don't understand how people enjoy exercise. In my mind, that would be like looking forward to getting water-boarded. Exercise=Torture. I think Congress should investigate this, BTW.

6. I would rather be alone.

7. If I am listening to a duet sung by a man and a woman - I always sing the woman's part. This began after I received my very first record album - the Grease soundtrack. I always sang the Sandy/Pink Ladies parts. But my favorite song from the movie/album was Rizzo (Stockard Channing) singing "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee".


8. "Angels In America" was the most powerful thing I've ever seen on television.

9. Upon returning to NYC after a trip, seeing the skyline always comforts me and makes me smile.

10. The money in my wallet is always arranged facing front and in denomination order. My apartment is a disaster, but my wallet is always immaculate.
