Tagged again

I was tagged again last week, by ThePeachTree. "Tagged" means (by law, again) I have to reveal seven random facts about myself and then pass it onto someone else (usually seven more people, but I'm going to flout the law this time).

My seven:

1. My only celebrity autograph is from Petula Clark (remember? Don't sleep in the subway, darling).
2. When I was a kid I loved English boarding school books.
3. My garage is full of recycling.
4. Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me. My view of human nature greatly improved, and I read Proust.
5. I might have gone into geology if it weren't for the math.
6. I'm currently reading Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. Wonderful and very strange.
   
7. My dog's name is Stella. We sound like Stanley Kowalski when we call her.

This time I'll tag Sarah at No Title Necessary and Kerry at Chasing Moonbeams. Enjoy!

Shit I'm it

I had just figured out what “tagged” meant when it happened to me. Stella of Paint Floats tagged me on Friday, which requires me (by law!) to reveal seven random and personal things about myself and then to pass it onto others.

1. My feet have very high arches.

2. I’ve been to Carnivale in Rio, but I can’t samba. I can, however, drink caprinias.

3. My poor gecko is dying of old age. We've debated the ethics of gecko euthanasia but probably won't do anything as long as he's able to eat. His name is Gilda (named before we figured out how to sex a gecko).

4. I thought I would like gardening, and when I look at my crappy yard I wish I did, but I don’t.

5. I live by railroad tracks. It's annoying and cool.

6. My basement is full of old computers that my son said he was going to sell on ebay, but he hasn’t.

7. In my book group the other night, four of us didn’t like Away by Amy Bloom, and three of us did. Only one of us didn’t like the wine.

And now is the time on Sprockets when we dance. I tag Anna Cox at purtygirldesigns, missfire, cheerup cherup, and Karessa and Gene at thescenicroute.
