eight random things about myself

Gal on the go tagged me with this meme, it’s all her fault…

Eight random things about me…

  1. I can’t stand when my fingernails get to be a micron to long. It’s something I never let go after retiring as a rock star. Long nails get caught in guitar strings.
  2. I grow facial hair as a reminder to change something in my life. I’ll grow a beard if I’m unhappy about my weight – I’ll stroke my beard and think, “I need to run!” At least that’s how I plan for it to work.
  3. I read to my kids every night, both of them. Quite possibly the most peaceful part of my day. It relaxes both of us.
  4. I am still in love with my STBX, no matter how much she hates me.
  5. I have had three songs I co-wrote on VH-1, five songs used in video games, and over 20 pieces of music in independent films.
  6. I can crack nearly every bone in my body, including my neck.
  7. I am excellent at folding bed sheets.
  8. I hated doing this list, because I hate thinking about myself lately.

I’m not going to tag anyone, if you wanna do it, leave it in comments or link back to this thingy. I did this a while ago actually I just remembered that!

    Dude, me too on #1, but just because I’m neurotic.
    And Dude, me too on #2, but just because I’m lazy. I’m lucky if I shave once a week.
    #3? Right on…You know that you frickin’ rock, right?
    #4…makes me hurt…
    #5 – AGAIN, YOU KNOW THAT YOU FRICKIN’ ROCK RIGHT?? No pun intended. Some pun intended.
    #6 – would make me collapse on the spot if I heard you crack everything.
    #7 – You mean that we’re suppose to FOLD THEM??
    #8 – Again, my friend, I’m sending you my best…

    I suppose stroking your beard and thinking you should go for a jog is better than stroking it because you have some diabolical plan afoot. If I were a guy, I would grow a beard just so I could do that (and if my husband were to be here right now, he’d say, “but honey…you do have a beard.” Damn dark hair!)

    Ever since I started playing the guitar a year ago, the nails on my left hand haven’t been longer than a mm or so. My hands look weird because all the nails on my left hand are short and my thumb nail on my right hand is short, but the other 4 are long.

    I’m with you on #7. 5 years of working in the hotel industry, you learn fast. Front desk people always had to help with laundry.

    Kev – if i didn’t shave every day, i’d never be able to board a plane

    Amanda – perhaps i was a chambermaid in a past life?

    Okay. HOW do you fold fitted sheets? What’s the secret? I always end up mashing them into a ball and sticking them in the linen closet.

    Seriously Van, tell me.

    mamatulip – it takes years of practice and you have to be double jointed in the elbows…and then you mash them up into a ball and throw them in the linen closet
