Playground games

In 1994, I spent the majority of my time in the playground running away from the person trying to 'tag' me. Back then I could hide in the girls toilets or behind a tree. Here in the blogosphere I cannot. There's no tree. There's no toilets. There's just time, space and many people tagging me at once.

Alas, I'm a little slow at response. I apologise. If I haven't responded to one of the kind awards I've been bestowed it doesn't mean they're unappreciated or unacknowledged. It's just that I forget to put them here on the blog. You see, I think too much and this thinking means that other details get pushed out. I'd be a super encyclopedia if it weren't for all the thinking.

Anyways, I was tagged. A few times. You know who you are. This time I have made the effort to participate in our playground's game of tag: 7 things about me:

A) Link to your original tagger and post these rules:
The lovely Alpha Buttonpusher tagged me. You should check out her blog. She always has some very insightful, thoughtful things to say.

B) Share 7 things about yourself:
I'm going to recycle my very first post on this blog. Most of you probably haven't read it so I'm not cheating. I swear.

1) When I was little, I used to bite glass. Seriously. There are loads of glasses in my house with tiny chunks missing from them (illustrating that I was a freakish child who bit glass and that my mum keeps random crap for many, many years).

2) I have a fear of foxes. When I was about five or six, I had nightmares that foxes would climb through my bedroom window and claw at my face. Even to this day whenever we see a fox in our garden, while everyone says ‘aww how cute’ inside my head I’m thinking: ‘die evil fox, die.’

3) My favourite word is 'bollocks.' It's just so expressive. If I could use it in every sentence, I would.

4) I am one of these people who need things to look forward to or else I lose the will to live.

5) I am the most accident prone person ever. If there is something to hit, fall over, fall on, I will do it. Even if there isn’t, I’d fall over myself. Hell, I’ve even caught my foot in my own trouser leg.

6) I love New York to the point of obsession. Can one have too many black and white photographs of the same NY skyline? The ‘official’ answer is yes. My answer is no.

7) I get so angry at books and movies with sad endings. They lead you on with their happy beginnings and happy middles and then the ending appears where the lead character dies and I’m left feeling like I’ve been stabbed in the chest. If I wanted to feel that way, I’d go out and get stabbed. And don’t give me all that ‘well, real life is like that…real life is tough’ bullshit. Books and films are about escapism. I don’t read books and watch movies for reality bollocks. I leave that to Big Brother.

C) Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names and links to their blogs:
Here goes people. Watch out. You may get tagged!

D) Let them know they've been tagged:
Meh. I'll get round to that later!

So there it is. I've run ragged around the blogosphere. I've had my fun. Now it's over to you my friends. TAG! You're it!

  1. Yay - someone else who agrees that "bollocks" is a great word!!! Thanks for the tag, though like I said on my post I won't be putting it up immediately - but I will put it up at some point :-)

  3. Lou, love your list. You have a soul mate in me with your #5 thing about you. Even now I am icing my swollen ankle wondering what you might be tripping over or bumping into right now. Thanks for the comments on the blog

  4. Hi Lou, Thanks for the tag. Love your list. I can identify with several of your items. It may take me a while, but I'll try to get it up. :-) Glad you stopped by and got a kick out of the mensa candidate. LOL

  5. Cool! Thanks! Two things-

    First, bullocks is a flippin' cool word... unfortunately, being a Virginian and all, it's not really a party of the American vocab and I always get looked at funny... so I keep that one to myself these days. Too much BBC and Masterpiece Theatre I suppose lol.

    Second, I noticed in your profile you listed Godfather Pts 1 & 2 as favorite movies, but not 3. I wholeheartedly agree... 3 was a travesty. They should have stopped at 2, rather than going into cases of mafia incest and what-not. Truly tragic...
