  • I’ve been tagged

    Once you have been
    tagged, you must write a blog containing 10 weird, random things
    (facts, habits, goals) about yourself. At the end, select 10 people to
    be tagged, listing their names and the reason you chose them. Send them
    a message (You’re it!) and instruct them to read your blog. You can’t
    tag the person who tagged you. Since you can’t tag me back, let me know
    when you’ve posted your blog so I can see your answers. Thanks for
    playing and have fun!!!

    1. Whenever I talk about the job that I’m going for, thanks to the Non-Disclosure Agreements that I’ve signed, you would swear that I was killing people.  A trip here for a day and return.  A trip there for a day and return.  No details of what happend.  Also, some of it I don’t talk about it case I don’t get it.
    2. I am almost OCD when it comes to money.  I check my bank account almost every other day.  Not that I’m broke, but its like I’m constantly planning to so something.
    3. If a girl can’t hold a good conversation with me, it pretty much kills her chances.  It doesn’t have to be about anything hugely important.  Just string some thoughts together, a witty observation here and there, maybe a joke about yourself or a situation that is ironic.  You’d be surprised how many people I run into that can’t so this.
    4. I like to cook, but it always gets to me that women don’t believe that.  When I say i cook, it is almost always met with surprise.
    5. I actively try to rid myself of emotions, or at least gain complete control of them.  I found that too many times in my life, I let my feeling override logic, and ended up screwing myself.  At times, I may force myself to be heartless or distanced in order to reach necessary ends.  I’m not saying that I don’t want emot”ions, but I do see where they have stood in my way, and contradicted the way that the real world works.
    6. My weakness for women is generally a cute smile.  I guess it’s a showing that she can generally express her happiness, and not hold back.  Good smile examples (1, 2, 2.5 3, 3.5, 4, 5).  Ironically, I don’t smile a lot (I mean a full fledged smile, and not a smirk).
    7. I consider myself Catholic, but heaven forbid you try to push religion on me.  I tear apart arguments so fast, you would call me THE Devil’s Advocate.  For the past week, I’ve been waiting for someone to bring up the book of Revelation in an argument against global ID’s because it would “bring about the anti-christ”.
    8. I actually see the potential in the idea of online dating in that it removes a lot of the pomp and act and forces you to get to know an individual’s way of thinking.  I can tell if I would like talking to a person by typing to them, because as great as a person may present them self to be, they can’t really dress up their brain.
    9. In learning to protect myself, I’ve learned to remove people from my life, provided all loose ends are tied up.  In fact, I’m poised for two right now, provided I tie up the loose ends I have with them.  This isn’t a whim thing, and usually comes after months of abuse or treatment as a second-rate friend, especially if that treatment follows a mostly one-sided friendship on my part.  Strangely, people I only occasionally talk to are in less danger of being purged.
    10. I’m pretty sure that I passed up a great chance with an excellent woman, and now that’s it’s gone, there’s almost no way to go back.  Well, there may be, but it’s quite a substantial effort, and no change from how things were when it ended.

  • Thanks for the tag.  I’ll have to give this some thought.  Hopefully my brain will get out of this cold fog.  Hmmm,  did you notice that about half of you 10 has something dealing with women??? A has someone??? smile smile caught your attention?  Okay, just teasing.  By the way, “they” are looking for some damn good workers here in the low country.  Keep smiling, Sharon

  • @justhopingnow -  I didn’t notice it, but you’re right.  Exactly half deal with women.  The cooking thing is general, but I do find that women are the most surprised to know that I cook. 

  • “they can’t really dress up their brain…” Great quote!
     I could so rid myself of a few emotions once in a while, a sort of logical override sometimes would be wonderful.

  • Guys who cook instantly become more cool, because they’re usually either hapless at it or too lazy to make anything other than grilled cheese. I knew a guy who absolutely seriously didn’t know when water was “boiling”. I will always react with surprise, but not disbelief because Aherne is a very good cook. He got me over the fear of cooking with chicken (for some reason cooking meat used to make me nervous) and we’d pick out new recipes to try. I do dishes because I can’t cook.

    I don’t think you had enough random things listed. How about something like, “I like the smell of feet” or “I’m afraid of puppies”?

  • Russian Standard is made of happiness. :)
