Tag you're it!

Alright I can take a hint: I've been tagged twice for this. Thanks Bonnie! :0) and Thanks for the reminder Maggie! The first time I jotted down a few things on pen and paper (then I promptly procrastinated and lost it!) So, here goes a spontaneous random/weird factoid about moi :

1. I cannot bring myself to blog posts sans photographs. I don't know why, I just can't do it! (Hence this 2nd picture of tulips.)

2. I don't send out Christmas cards. Wait let me explain!!! (I think I might be outlawed from the stamping community for that one!) I celebrate Christmas with my family, I just like to send cards as surprises (or give blank cards as gifts) throughout the year.

3. I catch weird phobias-slash-irritations from people. I caught from my amazing aunt Melinda the fact that I can't stand the sound, or feel, of rubbing Styrofoam or cotton balls. It makes my teeth tingle and I shiver. (You asked for random/weird!) ;0)

4. I am best friends with my family members (paternal & maternal.) And I'm not just being cheesy. I really genuinely like who they are A LOT. Lucky, huh?

5. I recently decided to go into publishing (and creative endeavours--to finance a scrap booking store and line of stamps) instead of teaching high school. I think I'm too emotional to teach high school. I'd take too much "stuff" home with me and take it too personally if one of my students didn't love English, lol.

6. I had to kiss a lot of frogs to meet my prince. (No offense Frogs. You just weren't Charles Charming!) I always felt miffed that romantic movies portrayed a lie: no romance could be as romantic as them. Now, I watch them and think: "Well, at least they have part of it figured out, but no fiction could ever capture this feeling!" (And it gets stronger every day--though we do have our "days," LOL.)

7. I can't imagine not blogging. I used to keep a diary; I have 30 or so volumes with hilarious (and heartfelt) material in them. I couldn't go back to mere journaling. (Though one day I will start an anonymous blog, so I can write without self-censoring, Muhahahaha!) I love the idea of connecting on the net and adore all of the blogs I read that are SO real. I actually have dreams at night about stamping and blogging! lol.

Alright, just two to tag: I nominate Kim ('cause she's crazy busy, but if she doesn't blog soon I shall surely perish!?!) and Ruth 'cause she's such a fun, interesting writer. :0)

Here are The Rules Ladies:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post & list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs
