Kariann tagged me below – so here’s some memetastic fun!
The rules:
1. Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog – some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
5. If you don’t have 7 blog friends, or if someone else already took dibs, then tag some unsuspecting strangers.
My seven facts:
1. Through this meme, I learned about two things that I didn’t know I had in common with Kariann, who tagged me: an affection for hats (in high school, I used to collect vintage hats, and I have a pretty nifty collection of them living in my parents’ basement. Sadly, I could never actually wear any of them because I have a giant head), and a predilection for going to the movies alone (in fact, it’s my preferred way of going to the movies and I do it all the time).
2. My earliest music-related memory is of being maybe four or five years old and dancing around the living room with my sister to my mom’s copy of Cyndi Lauper’s She So Unusual. It was on vinyl (of course), so we had to be careful not to incorporate any jumping into our choreography or the record would skip.
3. One of the things I am most passionate about is sex ed. I think this is because I never got any, and had to teach myself. And I think that if this academia thing doesn’t work out, I would love more than anything to become a sex educator, because I think it’s so very important.
4. My current favourite song that I just can’t stop listening to is “Good Things” from Sleater-Kinney’s Call the Doctor album.
5. One of the worst things about living in California is that I had to leave behind my extensive collection of fantastic vintage coats when I moved here because I have no use for them here. Highlights from this collection include: my floor-length, blue velvet coat which I named Buckingham; my brown, wool houndstooth with orange lining; my blue floral tapestry coat with a fur collar; and a green leather coat with a removable fur collar that once belonged to my grandmother.
6. I think that it’s bad luck to turn the page of the calendar before the first of the month. However, if you ask me, I will claim to be completely unsuperstitious.
7. I never fall asleep before midnight, and usually I’m up until around 2:00 in the morning – I’m just very night-owlish, and I’ve tried so hard to get onto a less stupid sleep schedule, but, really, it’s a lost cause.
