8 random facts about me meme

[bunn]

I got tagged by louisedennis...

1) There is something about memes that - ick. Don't do them. Don't know why, they just aren't me. They are fine for other people, I quite enjoy reading them, but - I deliberately broke this one by not posting the rules. I was going to not mention this, then I couldn't think of any facts about me, so what the hell.

2) I used to have fairly severe arachnophobia, but it got inconvenient so I decided to not have it any more. Surprisingly, this worked.

3) I am hopeless at repetitive tasks. It's not just that I don't like them: after all, who does? I just don't seem to be able to do them no matter how hard I try. I never knew this, but several people have recently pointed it out to me and to my surprise and fury, I have to admit they are right.

4) I hate margerine to the point where I have actually had real nightmares about it.

5) Dilbert cartoons changed my entire world view and inspired me to quit my job.

6) In an ideal world, I would never wear shoes.

7) At the age of 36 I have more or less learnt to sit on a chair or sofa, but I still tend to flollop off onto the floor after a while if I'm not concentrating. I am a human beanbag...

8) It appears that I can't think of even 8 things about myself that are interesting. Woe is me.

Good grief that was difficult! I kept thinking of facts about other people and animals and things. I'm now wondering if I am actually a character who exists to provide a backdrop to someone else on my friendslist, and I've not actually been fleshed out properly by my slipshod author. If so, I wonder who is the real hero(ine)???

If you read all this, feel free to volunteer your facts. With a bit of luck I can work out who the story is about if you do...

Hurray for shoeless floor dwellers. Me too. :D

That's all the facts I have today.

2. The reason it got so inconvenient was living with someone who has it far, far worse.

4. And cannot bring yourself to even spell it correctly.

6. But would be constantly nagged for having disgusting feet.

If you do manage to find out who's the hero of the story you're a minor character in, I'd like to know. I suspect I'm a badly-written bit part in the same story. I've been thinking about this during two hours of driving today, and have come up with only 4 answers so far.

Intrigued by your margarine nightmare, though...

This is fascinating to read. I think that a major revelation to me in my late 20s/ early 30s was that I am not the hero of everyone's story, but am mainly a minor supporting actor.

It was quite a short nightmare, but very vivid. It involved having to, for some reason I now forget, eat a spoonful of the stuff. The texture, colour, smell, taste, shape of spoon were all very clear, and I woke up feeling incredibly nauseous!

I had a traumatic childhood experience of a similar kind. There was a big pat of it on the table. I was small and liked butter. I scooped up a a big bit and... yuck!
