Meme-Killer

Obligatory disclaimer, the last time I did a meme thing it died when nobody I tagged played, so I hesitate to tag anyone again, but I was tagged by the fabulous @seeger, Christina Williams, on her blog Hard to be Both and since I don’t want to let her down, and lord knows the blog needs a little kickstart, I’m going to go ahead and put seven things, but not actually tag anyone so as to not go through that embarrassment again.

The rules are as follows –
1. Link to your original tagger and list these rules in your post.
2. Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged.

Okay so seven facts about me:

1) I can read four different musical clefs, treble, alto, tenor and bass, which is allowing me to accompany my various children on all of the Suzuki ensemble books.
2) Having studied at least a year each of Latin, ancient Greek French and Spanish, and lived in Prague where I made lame attempts at learning Czech, I cannot speak anything except English and whenever I try for anything else, I get hopeless mixings and combinations of other languages.
3) I cannot remember the last time I was not in the middle of at least four books. I am always hungry for good recommendations and discussions.
4) I have to look up my own phone number to give to people, I am so terrible at remembering numbers. I do, however, have my library card number memorized. If I give you a fact with numbers in it, you shouldn’t trust it.
5) I’ve had two moles removed on suspicion of skin cancer. Not that I spend a lot of time outside or in the sun. This is the basis of some degree of hypochondriac anxiety.
6) I hate fake meat products and carob but very few other foods, though I am not all that adventurous about trying new foods.
7) I knit very slowly, but like knitting socks and usually have one going. I love knitting during my various kids’ music lessons because it helps me keep from speaking when I shouldn’t, and I knit when watching movies at home because then I won’t have the laptop open and get so distracted I forget to watch the movie.

Facty enough?

    Facty and much appreciated as it seems that I am apparently a meme-killer myself! (Good to know!) Happy new year and keep on writing!

    Factalicious, even, you meme-killer you. (I can say that because I’m a meme-killer, too.)

    I didn’t know you don’t like carob or fake meat products. No tofurky for you.

    Knit socks! Will I be getting mine when you come to Dallas? ooo, I can’t wait!

    “…and whenever I try for anything else, I get hopeless mixings and combinations of other languages.”

    TELL ME ABOUT IT.

    Neither of you are the meme-killer, because I am SO the meme-killer that I am killing one right now probably without even knowing it.

    I ate ChickieNobs™ for dinner last night and thought of you, cackling evilly.
