The Space Between My Ears
Well, well, well. It seems that Ernie over at Redneck Bar & Grill has tagged me for a meme. Yee Haw! What is this meme I speak of, you ask? I gotta cough up 8 random things about me. Since there are a million random things about me- this will be tricky. I’ll try to pick just 8. I hope you enjoy the space between my ears.
And now… The Rules! Oooo!
1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
3. At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment and tell them they’ve been tagged, and to read your blog.
Ok kids… On with my issues…
1.) When I’ve had a “certain” amount of alcohol (it could be 2 drinks, it could be 5) I will sneeze 6 times. Exactly 6. I don’t know why that is, but it amuses the hell out of my friends. Last night, just the smell of Tuaca set me off.
2.) When a customer at work is being horribly rude, and I put lemon in their water or tea, I will push it all the way to the bottom of their glass with my finger.
3.) I absolutely refuse to touch a pregnant woman’s belly. It’s like I think it’s contagious or something. I think the closest I’ve come is poking with one finger.
4.) I can watch the movie Rat Race over and over and over again and I will still laugh like it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it.
5.) I have a serious cell phone addiction. I have never owned a phone longer than a year, I’ve owned pretty much every make and model & I am almost constantly on the hunt for my next one. I’ve only had my iPhone (which I thought would cure me of this) for 4 months and I’ve already picked out my next cell phone. FYI: Nokia’s are consistently the best phones and Motorola’s suck.
6.) I currently have a pimple on the side of my face that’s threatening to take over my head.
7.) I will blow the fuck up before I pass gas in front of my significant other. In 5+ years with D, the only time he witnessed such an atrocity was when I was asleep. You’re welcome for that.
8.) Back when I was bartending, I’d take whatever was left in the bar mat, at the end of the night, (usually quite a nasty combination of various liquors) and put it in a shot glass. I would then sell the shot for $2. There was ALWAYS someone who would be drunk enough to buy- and drink- it.
And there ya have it, folks. Now I’m gonna tag other bloggers to share their randomness with the world too… As always, this is optional. So play along, or don’t and either is ok. 
And the poor bastards lucky ones are (by blog):
Peace and nasty bar shots.

Thanks for the tag!
I’ll have to think about it this week… my brain has already turned in for the night. Ha! 
Gina’s last blog post..Seriously.

Okay Corrina, I think I can do this one. I probably did a similar one, but I think I can find 8 more random things about me. I’m over 5 years old.
LOL, pushing the lemon down with your finger. ROFL
No. 7 is a hoot. I never have, but I’ve been on the receiving end.
I don’t want to do number 3 either. Not even my own…when I was in the motherly way.

PS, your favicon is showing! I love it!

Very interesting. Now have you ever been drunk enough to down the “nasty shot”, touch a pregnant woman’s belly and then lance your pimple? I was once…once.

Hey Corrina, thanks for the tag. Let me think about my answers for a few days. This is really going to need some of my brain power … LOL!

Yay to everyone who’s gonna play the game! I’m excited to see what you all spill about yourselves!

Hey there! Never left you a comment before but I’ve “spied” on your blog on occasion. This one, though, I had to comment on your 8 random facts - -
#2. I waitressed/occasionally bartended for 8 years, from 15-23 years old. I used to do the exact same thing. High five for you.
#7. I am the exact same way, and I thought I was the only one. I’ve been with mine for almost 2 years…same thing. Attached/married friends tell me I’m crazy…
#8. We used to do the exact same thing. Called them Mat Shots. Good times.
Happy blogging

Thank you for thinking of me! I will post well beyond the window of timeliness, probably Sunday.
I like your 8 things… I agree, Motorolas are the worst phones. That’s why Motorola is in such bad fiscal shape. The Razr was nothing special, and they’ve done nothing since the Razr 4 years ago. Lemons in drinks contain lots of fecal matter, I am told, because whoever slices the lemons often just cleaned the bathroom. ICK! So I avoid lemon. And your anti-flatulence efforts are commendable, but quite unnecessary. Martians and their spouses take pride in competing to see who send the cats scampering for safety the quickest. 
Later…

Re: #7: I’ve been married for 18 years, add 2 years of dating, and that’s 20 years of holding it in. Same for the husband. I don’t know about him, but I am REALLY gassy, so he should be grateful.
Thanks for making it OK to talk about this.

Tim - Yes, I have been that drunk. LOL
Angi - Thanks for leaving a comment! And people really shouldn’t mess with people who handle their food and drink! As for #7, I have never been more comfortable with someone than I was with D, yet that’s the ONE thing I could never do in front of him. EVER. I’m so glad I’m not the only one! Ha ha ha
Marvin - I can’t WAIT to see what random things you post! And you cracked me UP with your little ditty about sending the cats scamering for safety! LOL!!
JD - Yay! We’re not alone in the “hold it in” club! I’m pretty gassy too- hangovers do that to a girl! LOL… You’re welcome for bringing farts into the public forum. HAHAHA

Thanks for the tag! Okay, I’ll have to tackle this over the weekend. Could I just steal your answers? If yes, I could tackle it right now…

Yes, Kev… You can use my answers. The fact that you wouldn’t pass gas in front of my ex boyfriend will crack me up, most definitely!
April 25th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
I suck.. I still haven’t done this. I can’t find anything worth reading about myself! Heh.

Gina - No worries… It’s totally optional anyway.
May 5th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
On second thought, maybe I should come up with my own answers.
I still haven’t responded to this tag, but I will. I’m just…slow. Yes, that’s it. I’m slow.
