More Fun Facts?

The lovely Smack tagged me for a meme. And while some people might grumble about doing them, I love it! I don't have to think up a blog post topic... its fantastic.

I've actually done this particular meme before but I can always come up with 7 random facts about myself.

1. I didn't learn to do laundry until I was 23 years old. I went to a college that was within driving distance to my parents' house and would drive home every Sunday to drop off my laundry. I would then run some errands and by the time I came to pick it up - everything was washed, dried, folded and ironed (if it needed it). I sometimes miss that fabulous mom service and she still offers to do it. It was a win-win situation for both of us. She got to see me once a week and I was getting my laundry done for free.

2. I've never changed a baby diaper. Although my womb is starting to sigh a little whenever I think about my dad's declining health and how he may never get to be a grandad.

3. I hoard shopping bags. You will most likely find tons and tons of shopping bags hiding in closets, stuff in other bags (purses), basically anywhere in my house. I am convinced that I will one day reuse the bags in some fashion.

4. I didn't have my first orgasm until I was 24 despite being sexually active for 8 years. I didn't realize what I was missing out on. I was one of those, "I don't know if I've had one" people until it actually happened to me. So if you are unsure about having had one - then you haven't had one.

5. I won't touch an amphibian. Their weird slimy exterior just grosses me out beyond belief. The idea of holding a frog actually makes me ill.

eeew!

6. My favorite scene in Pretty in Pink is where Blaine tells Andy that he loves her at the prom:
You said you couldn't be with someone who didn't believe in you. Well I believed in you. I just didn't believe in myself. [pause] I love you. [whisper] Always.

I kid you not, this scene STILL gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it.

7. Carrie just called me to tell me that she had dug out her old karaoke machine (from like 7-9 years ago) and discovered a tape that was still inside. The tape contained lots of stupid recordings of us plus one solo recording of me imitating Cher singing "If I Could Turn Back Time". If I can figure out how to make it digital, I will share it with everyone.

The Rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So now I tag Ben, Non Mommy, Justine, Little Spoon, Autobiography of My Feet, Kt and Michelle and the City.
