Seven Random Things About Me You Didn’t Ask For And Will Probably Regret Knowing

Tagged by Stevo and Smiler, I give you seven random things about me:

1. I just did something naughty to make a friend feel better, and I don’t regret it. It doesn’t involve sex– it involves Craigslist.

2. I’m not as good a person as some people think I am, but I’m also not as bad a person as some people think I am.

3. I don’t feel things like other people. It’s a relief, I guess (if I was capable of feeling relief like other people).

4. When I was a kid, I went through phases of being fascinated with horrifying times and events in history. American Slavery (specifically the Underground Railroad), Nazi Germany and the Third Reich (specifically concentration camps) were particular subjects of my fascination.

5. I don’t like pets. Well, I like to pet cute fluffy things like bunnies and kittens, but the rest of them? Blech.

6. I worry that my negativity and cynicism are irreversible.

7. I’m secretly starting to like going to the gym. But ONLY if I have my iPod.

I tag no one.

    Yeah, because you’re normal.

    You like to pet little fluffy cats, then? You’re OK with me! Even though you ARE a freak… ;)

    How do you know you don’t feel things like other people? Perhaps they are all just faking it.

    Fluffy cats are awesome! I like to pet them and feed them chocolate, against doctor’s orders.

    pmousse, that is an excellent point. I will revise my statement to say that I am not as good at faking feeling as others.

    I’m still stuck on the first one. Last time I looked at Craigslist I could have gotten into serious trouble.

    HA! It’s nothing too terrible, I swear. Nothing on any of the personals boards or anything. And I didn’t buy anything. Ha, as if. I continue to be worth more dead than alive.

    My negativity and cynicism are both irreversible, but hey, anybody who knows me has already either bought into them or not.
    I’m surprised at your not liking pets, though. I figured you’d be one of us who prefers animals to people every time.

    There’s nothing wrong with negativity and cynicism, just as there is nothing wrong with cigarettes.

    I can’t imagine you liking fluffy pets. I had figured you for a pit-bull kind of gal. A big, dangerous dog to eat those that offend you.

    - I’m almost done season one of Dexter. Amazing show, thanks for the tip. Because of that I won’t tag you again.

    I love that you tag no one. What a relief for me.

    Jackie, you don’t want to grow up like me. There’s still time to seek treatment. The truth, the real straight dope that THEY are trying to keep from you is that everything really, really, really is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.

    Did the Craigslist thing involve the offer of free stuff?

    My favorite item on your list is #2 — referring to the second item and not the kindergarten euphemism, of course.

    HA!

    Mr. McTell, it does not involve free stuff.

    Are you trying to tell me to be an optimist?? This, from the guy with the “apathy” bracelet???

    You sound like me on most days. Except for 4, and 5 obviously (I’ve you’ve looked at my blog recently you’ll see that I am goo-goo gaga over pets) and 7… was me a few months ago, before the depression hit so hard that even getting out of the house became a special occasion. Thanks for playing and I’m sort of relieved you didn’t tag anyone because I’ve been hearing a lot of grumbling about memes lately.
