I've been tagged

My dear friend Jamie tagged me in her blog.

(The rules....link your tagger and list these rules on your blog. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.)

Fact #1 - I'm a picky eater. If you know me, you know this. However, my food aversions go far beyond what I let people see. I have rules. I always follow them. I don't like my food to touch on the plate. Corn shouldn't combine with mashed potatoes. Salad should have it's own plate. This is one of the reasons I have a strong dislike for buffets. In addition to the fact that you don't know who just served themself.

Fact #2 - I have wanted to write a screenplay for many years. I just don't have any ideas that I can materialize into something as awesome as Juno or American Beauty.

Fact #3 - I hate feet (my own included). They tend to freak me out. I don't think they're pretty. I hardly ever like to walk around barefoot. I'm a sock girl. Once in college my friend Kati took a picture of her foot and sent it to me in the mail. I still can feel the horror in my memory. Zoe's feet are the only exception to this rule.

Fact #4 - For the first two years of college, I never wrote a paper. Since I had taken Advanced Placement classes in high school, the first two years of college were like reruns for me. I tweaked papers from high school and turned them in. I only cracked open the books to finish assignments or if I was studying with other people.

Fact #5 - I was almost arrested at age 10 for toilet papering a friend's house. I was the youngest with all the high schoolers from church. We were running away from the house when the cop stopped us. He singled me out and told me that I could go to juvenile if the person decided to file charges. When asked where my mom was I couldn't exactly tell them she was driving the getaway car. It was my first brush with the law.

Fact #6 - I met John Travolta in August 2004. As I was in line to get my picture with him, I was thinking of all the things I could say. I wanted to walk up to him, all dramatic and say, "fine, fergit it." Or "watch the hair. I spend a lot of time on my hair." All that came out was, "hi." I was totally starstruck. I'm never without words. It's one of my biggest regrets.

Fact #7 - I hate scary movies, haunted houses, etc. I know they aren't real, however I have such bizarre nightmares for weeks afterward, that they might as well be. Even as an adult. I know most people think Blair Witch Project was stupid. It scared the stuffing out of me. I hate Halloween because of this. All the commercials for horror movies. I tend to avoid television during the last couple weeks of October.

I'm not going to tag anyone, but if you want to play along, leave a comment.
