I did it because Claire did it. And if she did it, it’s got to be worth doing. So do it.
Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog. 1. When I was younger, I gave my little brother stitches…twice. We were really into martial arts then. One day we were play fighting and I found my dad’s mini barbell and decided to use it as a weapon. I told my brother I would spin around and he should duck. So I spun around and sure enough, he failed to duck (had it been a real fight I surely would have been victorious). Stitch #2 came along when we indeed had a real fight and I pushed him and his head ran into the corner of a couch. Both times I succeeded in cutting open his forehead/eyebrow area.
2. I have a very sensitive collar bone area. I cannot stand the way the shoulder strap part of a seat belt clings onto my collar bone area. A lot of the time I have to hold it down lower or if I am not driving I will stick that shoulder strap part under my arm pit.
3. In all my life, I have attended 13 different schools. Because of this, 1) I can remember probably only about 1% of my teachers’ names, 2) I remember only faces of my fellow classmates (memory of names often refreshed through Facebook), 3) if I do remember people, I can’t remember what school it was from, 4) I am socially awkward and have issues with attachment, 5) I do not remember a lot of what I learned in school because I was too preoccupied with adjusting to a new environment and making friends, 6) I will be forever traumatized.
4. I cannot sleep with the closet open because my sister told me a story that when she was younger, she thought she saw me in her closet and was trying to talk to me, but then she went into my room and saw me sleeping in my own bed and so it freaked her out. I am taking every precaution necessary to not see a ghost in my closet in the middle of the night.
5. As a kid, I was a die hard baseball fanatic. Present day, I pretty much don’t give a shit about the sport. As a kid, I hated soccer because I was always being dribbled around. Present day, I pretty much consider it to be a personal religion.
6. I was lost in the woods for a few hours with my cousin and little brother when I was about 8. We thought we heard voices on the other side of a stack of wood, so upon our journey of finding them, we got lost. My cousin suggested we ask the nearby houses for help and I declined because I feared they would cook us for dinner. I also contemplated leaving my little brother crying on the ground (he was about 4) because I got tired of dragging him. The coolest part of this story was that I got to ride in the back of a dirt bike once we were found.
7.
This movie was my first memory of a sex scene. The two main characters at one point were making out sort of naked, quite possibly leading to sex. I don’t remember the details because I haven’t seen it since, but I remember that it may have been the first time I was ever aroused.
8. Pretty much every day I have to take my morning shit before I leave the house, mostly out of fear and embarrassment that I may have to go later at work/school/in public. I also need to pee before and after everything I do so that I do not have to pee in the middle of whatever I am doing. This phobia stems from my shy and reserved nature that prevented me from telling the teacher I had to pee during class as a child, thus resulting in peeing in my pants in the middle of class and further creating a psychological peeing phobia for the rest of my damn life.
I tag Jamie, Uyen, Dan, Perry, Evie, Angela, Lynn, Nue. You’re all I pretty much read anyway. Do it if you want, I don’t mind reading.
