Here are the rules:
Each player starts with 7 random facts or habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write in their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. You need to tag 7 others and list their names on your blog. Remember to leave a comment for them letting them know they have been tagged and to read your blog.
Here are my answers:
1. I walk the same path throughout my office every morning when I heat up breakfast. I'm like this with a lot of things. I always walk the same path going to and from specific places. Going in a different path makes me feel uncomfortable. I am an easy target for stalkers and/or serial killers.
2. I have a very huge fear of serial killers. My ultimate fear is to fall victim to one. This fear is probably due to the teenage years I spent reading True Crime novels and watching horror movies. While I am an unlikely victim (not white and blonde), I am deathly afraid of someone hiding in the dark in my home ready to stab me. Therefore, I am also afraid of the dark. And power outages. And the woods.
3. I am obsessed with breasts. I don't mean this in a weird lesbian fascination way, I mean in a I am envious of all girls with breasts way. Angie once noted that she stares at the arms of other females because she feels self conscious of her own arms. I'm the same way with breasts. I have really small breasts so I constantly catch myself checking out the racks of other women. If you are a girl and you know me, yes - I've checked out your rack. If you have bigger boobs than me - yes, I've totally thought, "bitch".
4. I hate watching needles go into someone's skin. While I donate blood, I can't look at them actually inserting the needle into my arm or I will get sick. Strangely, I love TV shows about surgery (the real life kind on Discovery or TLC). I can't get enough of them.
5. I wish I could head butt someone. It looks so cool in the movies.
6. When people don't recycle, it upsets me. It takes a lot of will power to not take someone's cans/bottles after a cookout home with me so I can recycle them (and I restrain myself so that people don't know that I'm crazy).
7. I constantly speak with a hostile tone in my voice. According to The Mr., my tone is "aggressive" and is generally why people misinterpret most of what I say to be angry. I have always spoken this way so I don't see it. And I'm not a hostile person!
Okay, so since I only really know 2 bloggers that would respond to this meme - I'm tagging Gerard and Ryan! BUT, I hate being a party pooper so I'm also tagging those that I know read this blog so they can answer the meme in a comment. That means Jamie, Theresa, Kristin, Katie and Stacy... you've been tagged! Don't let me down.
Honeymoon Photos
I figured I'd post some photos from my totally awesome honeymoon. We went to the Maldives and it took frickin forever to get there but it was worth it.
This is me in Dubai Airport. This place is ridiculous. It was like a mini high-end mall.
Look! I love the local menu offerings from McDonald's:
You probably thought I was going to post pictures from the Maldives in this post, right? Eh - maybe tomorrow.

Here are my answers:
1) I have what some people consider an irrational fear of birds. Most people assume it’s because of Alfred Hitchcock, but it’s not. When I was a wee lad, my mom had some hanging plants on the porch. Apparently a bird had nested in one of them and when I opened the porch door it either hit the flower pot or startled the mama bird because next thing I know this thing is flying in my face. Of course I screamed like a little girl and I’ve been gay ever since :)
2) I was punched in the face for the first time last weekend, I almost made it 32 yrs. I think it’s amazing it hadn’t happened sooner...I can be kinda mouthy, but usually in a fun way :) The story is: I was out w/ some friends and my friend Debbie goes to the bathroom. On her way she’s approached by a fella and she tries to blow him off. On her way back he blocks her path and forces her to talk. She made her way back and told me, and I, being the chivalrous guy that I am, go up to confront the guy. Basically I just wanted him to realize that intimidating women is f-ed up and to apologize. Well he sucker punched me, I laughed which made him even madder, but his friend was holding him back at that point, and if he came at me I was ready anyway. I’m not much of a fighter, but I’m one of those masochists that will sacrifice themselves just to make the other guy suffer. I can be a biotch when I have to be, not to mention I know half the bar and had a tranny ready to beat him down with her heels. :)
3) I <3 Björk. I’ve been a HUGE fan of hers since HS and it’s only gotten worse…or better :) I finally got to see her in concert in NYC on May 5th and it was A-MA-ZING! I’m totally hooked. She is amazing performer and so freakin’ cute!!! I have a poster of her in my kitchen and sometimes invite her to eat with me. (I’m just being silly, not psycho)
4) I’m a gay Catholic Republican… ‘nuff said :)
5) My goals for 2007…to be SCUBA certified and to skydive. I don’t consider myself extreme or anything, but what could be more thrilling than jumping out of an airplane. SCUBA is another story. I want the option of doing SCUBA when I go on vacations and not just snorkeling or that SNUBA crap.
6) As a child I wanted to be an Ice Hockey player…I don’t know where that came from because as far as I know I was never exposed to Ice Hockey as a child and I don't even ice skate.
7) I’ll eat just about anything once. As a child I wasn’t very experimental with food. I’ve tried to make up for lost time. The grossest thing I ever ate was cow tongue, or maybe blood sausage. My philosophy is you never know until you try, so I’m gonna try it all :) Speaking of trying new stuff…Theresa and I had sushi last night and we overheard someone ask about Sea Urchin. We need to get that next time!!
WOW!!! This is by far my longest comment EVER!!!! Love ya Kim!!
1. i too have an irrational fear of birds. when i went to maryland, these huge crows use to sit up on the ledge above the doors to get into ellicott hall (my dorm freshman and sophmore year). they would scream at you and circle around when you tried to come in with your dining hall food. my friends thought i was crazy and said they'd never attack. well, those birds are vicious! i was walking to an 8am class one friday and as i was going up a hill one of those freaking crows dive bombed and hit me on the top of my head! so needless to say, i am not a fan of birds. oh and i'm also afraid of black squirrels -- they are so freaking aggressive.
2. i hate driving/riding over bridges that are over water. i have a reoccuring dream where i'm driving and the bridge just disappears from under me and my car plunges into the water.
3. i beat up my next door neighbor when i was in 6th grade b/c he was making fun of my mom for being chinese. i think the last straw was when he called my mom connie chung when she drove by. we got off the bus one day and i socked him in the stomach.
4. i've been to a couple foreign countries (china, france, switzerland, russia, taiwan) but i've never been to canada.
5. my brother and i use to have 2 pet cows. we named them spookums (he was afraid of everything) and mike tyson (he was really big). i even helped teach them how to drink formula from a bucket. when they were big enough, they were slaughtered and we ate them. when we were eating beef, my brother and i would ask "is this spookums or mike tyson?"
6. i am obsessed with the golden girls. i have all 7 seasons on dvd. it was one of the only tv shows my brother and i were allowed to watch growing up. we use to watch them as a family on saturday nights, i think empty nest came on afterwards.
7. i am secretly in love with jamie. if he wasn't a gay catholic republican, we'd be the perfect couple and have the best looking babies ever.
oops i forgot some things for #6 "my golden girls obsession"
- i own 2 golden girls t-shirts, they are the same shirt just in different colors
- i will randomly quote any one of the girls if i feel it necessary
- i totally want rue mcclanahan's book "my first five husbands... and the ones who got away"
- check out my girl bea: http://www.ifilm.com/video/2755951

btw - Theresa forgot to mention that she's deathly afraid of walking over grates. After Kim & Jer's wedding we had to carry her over one because there was no other way around it...and in NYC for Bjork, she was weaving down the sidewalks like she was drunk to avoid them :)
Theresa, we would have shockingly beautiful children...I don't think the world could handle it :)
Here are responses for Katie:
1) I love watching the same movies and shows over and over and over again. They are typically movies that are played on TV over the weekends. Some of these include Father of the Bride 1 and 2, My Best Friend's Wedding, Gone in 60 Seconds, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, etc. In terms of TV shows, I will watch the same Friends or SATC dvd for a month. I find comfort in watching the same things over and over again.
2) I dance too much - and at awkward times. I was getting ready after showering and had gone out to the kitchen to get water and kind of went back to the type of thing I would do before I lived with my bf...dance in front of the fridge with the brita water naked -until I got caught.
3) I am uncomfortable with certain compliments. I never noticed this about myself until about 2 years ago when I had first started dating my bf and he said "you're so beautiful". My response "so what do you want to eat for lunch" and walked away quickly. Apparently my face went bright red and clearly by my reaction, I pretend like these comments never happened.
4) I secretly want a bodyguard. I would even like to have one just for the day to follow me around and I'd wear sunglasses all day.
5) My worst fear is throwing up. I hate it. When I do feel nausea for any reason, I pray that anything else happens but throwing up. If I know someone in the office has had a stomach bug, I suddenly start feeling sick and will feel sick for days worrying about it. If one of my friends coworkers has had a stomach bug, I try to get out of seeing my friend for an amount of time after so that I won't get it, just in case my friend might have gotten it.
6) Once I am awake in the morning, if anyone else is still asleep, I wake them up. I don't mean I wake them up in a nice way. Every morning I talk incessantly to Ian so that I'm not the only one awake.
7) I cannot walk anywhere without tripping. I'm a spazz, what can I say. It's amazing that I danced for so many years and not once did I trip during a performance. But walking, I have issues with.
Stacy - we're waiting!
Wow, those are some long comments. I'll try to find 7 things that aren't totally embarassing. By the way Jamie, Sea Urchin looks like an orange tongue and tastes like bad sea water. I like to try everything once, too but I won't be trying that one again. :)
1. I have a lot of dreams that I'm flying or falling and it'll jerk me awake. Lately, just before I actually fall asleep, I get that falling sensation and it makes me jump. Which then wakes me up again and I have to start the whole process over. How annoying.
2. Theresa, I'm with you on the storm grate or sewer drains. From watching Stephen King's IT in elementary school (where were my parents on that one?) when the clown was hiding in the storm drain and he killed the little boy. Especially when I walked to school, I would avoid them at all costs.
3. I've flown across the Atlantic (to England and Germany) and the Pacific (Australia 2x). Once to Mexico but I've also never been to Canada. I don't really like the cold all that much so going that far north doesn't really appeal to me.
4. I can't go #2 in public places. Or at people's houses. Even at home, I don't like anyone else to be around (I know everyone does it but I can't help it). Although, I'd prefer to go in a public place that already stinks (like a McD's bathroom) and where I'll never see anyone there again than at someone's house that I know. I don't get stage fright peeing, though. Someone could be right outside the door and that doesn't bother me.
5. I've never been in a fight, never been hit, and have never hit anyone else. I can't imagine how I would be. I can barely speak up for myself sometimes, if someone were to get aggressive with me, I'd probably just throw my arms up and cover my face. Jamie, you'll have to get my back if I'm ever in trouble.
6. If I argue with someone (rare, since I'm non-confrontational) I never call names. I don't know how I managed not to do this considering one of my exes was a dickhead but I never called him one in an argument. Probably just behind his back...
7. I dyed my hair brown so I would be less of a target for serial killers. Just kidding. I just got tired of paying for highlights so often. :)
Great ones! I, too, loathe birds. Rats of the sky, I say. Rats of the sky!
