I was tagged for this meme by Jenny and have been struggling with imagining answers to the ancestor questions but had no trouble thinking of weird things about me! So here it is as far as I've got and as for tagging five more people..just consider yourself tagged if you haven't already done this one..sorry for breaking the rules by not doing it properly!
RULES: List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets.
Tag 5 friends and list them.
Then these people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, state the rules, and tag 5 more people.
Don't forget to let the people you tag know by commenting on their blog!
5 weird things about me:
1. I have an irrational hatred of dishwashers. I would rather wash up 40 of everything by hand than give in and get one. My husband differs on this, so it is only a matter of time before I relent in favour of convenience.
2. My long term investment strategy is limited to a belief that it is a good idea to buy a house on a hill, in case of sea levels rising in the future.
3. I save half used birthday cake candles in a tin just in case they are needed for a science experiment one day.
4. I often start reading magazines at the back and work forwards (Meredith’s answer to this meme reminded me of this)
5. I’ve only recently begun to allow dishcloths to re-enter my life. A pathological avoidance of them began after a biology experiment in my teens revealed the amount of germs they harboured. Ever since I have advocated drip drying. It might also have been a convenient ploy to escape drying-up duty as a teenager. Only the enormous quantities of washing up provided by our feasts and the point mentioned in 1. has made a supply of clean cloths seem like a good idea.
Next part of tag: Can’t think of any intelligent answers to these right now, but I’ll leave them in in case any one else wants to have a go.
1. Which famous person would you most like to learn that you're descended from?
2. Which famous person would you hate to learn you're descended from?
3. If you could be an ancestor to any famous living person who would it be and why?
4. If you could go back in time and meet any known ancestors of yours, who would it be and why?
Hey Kit...about the meme...just put up the usual answers you'd hate to be related to either Hitler or GWBush, hehe! I choose Martha Stewart as an alternative...she has a real grating personality and seems to be that demigogic type too...now on to other business...YOU my friend have won the Golden Apron award this week along with another excellent blogging friend Diane! Congratulations Kit! How do they say congrats in the UK? Bloody well done? or just well done? Don't mind me it's Friday and has been a horrific week. Have a good one! ( weekend that is)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny - I'm honoured with the Golden Apron! Congrats translates across the Atlantic fine - bloody well done with a nice stiff upper lip and a pat on the back would do too!
ReplyDeleteHitler would have been my obvious choice!
Feel free to copy the apron Kit! It's yours to wear proudly! :D
