Tagging Fun!

I’ve been tagged by fellow Campaigners, erica and christy, and so here are ten random things about me…coming close on the heels of last week’s random things!

But since it took me two months to respond to the Versatile Blogger award, I’m trying to do a bit better with this one :).

1. I have my library card number memorized :). The bar code is so worn that the library wants to replace it and I won’t let them!
2. I have the unfortunate habit of forgetting people’s names—and I’m so paranoid about doing so that now, if I have to introduce someone, I will automatically forget their name on the spot. Even if they’re my best friend since forever.
3. When I’m deep in story-writing mode, there are times when I won’t drive. With a natural streak of spaciness, the addition of a creative haze gives me the dangerous tendency to run stop lights and drift through random intersections.
4. My talented author/artist friend, Anna-Maria Crum, is the genius behind the Whiney Writer videos, which are too much fun! (Yes, yes—I’ll be saying “I knew her when…” soon.)
5. My favorite cake: Italian Cream Cake (from scratch, please—store-bought just won’t cut it!)
6. On a recent trip to Mexico, I discovered that crochet hooks are deadly terrorist devices that are absolutely NOT allowed in your carry-on baggage. At least, not if you’re flying from Mexico to the States; apparently, they aren’t a problem if you’re flying the other direction.
7. I’ve been working on the same crochet project for nearly a year…but only because it’s super-complicated, not because I’m easily distracted by other projects. Or at least, distraction isn’t the *only* reason <grin>.
8. I have a two-foot high stack of magazines sitting in my office, waiting to be read. (ack!)
9. My favorite color is green. Except when it’s blue. It used to be yellow, but I’m sooo over that.
10. My favorite afternoon entertainment is listening to my teenage son read bits of Facebook conversation, which are sprinkled heavily with quotes from Portal, such as: Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: A horrible person. We weren't even testing for that.

Did it! Your turn :)
