Seven Random Things

Schmutzie from Schmutzie’s Milkmoney Or Not, Here I Come has tagged me for a meme! For those of you who don’t know, a meme is like an online chain letter.

The rules:
• Share seven random and/or weird things about yourself.
• Tag five people to do the meme and link to their weblogs.

Seven Random and/or Weird Things about The Casual Perfectionist:

1. I have red hair, and I’ve always had red hair. My eyelashes and eyebrows are a very light strawberry blonde and practically invisible to the naked eye. My eyelashes are very long and look nice with mascara. I brush a hazelnut colored eye-shadow into my eyebrows so that they can be seen. The first aesthetician to do my eyebrows taught me that trick.

2. I cannot stand wood ticks. I loathe them. The thought of them makes me feel nauseous. I don’t like thinking about them, and I don’t like talking about them. Why I’m devoting a whole number to them on my list is random and weird. (So, I think that fits the criteria of this meme, huh!?) I have not seen a wood tick since I moved away from my childhood home on the farm. It’s been over 15 years since I’ve seen one. Not that I’m counting.

3. My ears are very small, but I can wiggle them, making my glasses move up and down my nose.

4. I am fluent in a foreign language, but I can introduce myself and count to ten in seven languages.

5. When I was little, I memorized the alphabet in American Sign Language. I can still spell words pretty quickly using it.

6. Growing up, I was in the Knight Rider Fan Club. I even had an official blue-print of KITT. They’ve re-made Knight Rider and it was on NBC the other night. I TiVO’d it and couldn’t wait to see it. My husband insisted on watching it with me, but he would not stop making fun of it. I paused it and told him to stop making fun of it, or I’d shut it off and watch it when he wasn’t around. That’s when he told me he wasn’t making fun of it; he was making fun of me. Ha! Well, he can make fun all he wants…he wasn’t an official member of the fan club, so that makes me better than him. So there. Pppppppppt.

7. I have 92 subscriptions in my GoogleReader, yet I’m always looking for new blogs to read. Luckily, most of those blogs do not update daily (like mine). If they did, I’m not sure I would get much else done. Either way, it’s a good thing I’m an expert at multitasking.

Because I can’t keep track of who has done a meme recently and who hasn’t (see #7), I’ve decided to tag the last five people who have commented on the site:

Lori at weebleswobblog.blogspot.com
Ashley at thelightersideofgrowingup.typepad.com
Psychgrad at bloggingwagon.blogspot.com
Noble Pig at noblepig.com
Alynda at alyndabear.com

Gotcha! You’re it!
