Meme-a-licious!

I've been tagged three times in the last week or so, and considering my amazing ability to slack on these type of things, I knew I had to do a post pretty damn quick. I'm a meme killer, so I won't be tagging anyone for these...breathe a sigh of relief, or pretend I tagged you and have at one of them!

From Jeanne, 'Too Much Information' (10 little-known or random facts about me):

1. I'm double jointed.
2. I can't wear most wool. I actually get itchy just being close to it. Funny enough, cashmere's o.k.
3. I'm a good mimic.
4. I worked as a figure model for art classes at my college.
5. I flunked out of college.
6. I was a 'Happy Birthday Girl' (the "i") onstage for Jon Bon Jovi's 28th birthday.

9. I wish I could sing really well.
10. I hate it when a character in a movie says, "Hey, you." and another responds, "Hey, yourself."

Between my bio and these memes, I'm guessing that everyone now knows more about me than is strictly necessary. I don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing!

Cheers all,

Hi Moira - you've had a very interesting career, I'm fascinated! Great post, as always.

[Jeanne]

Hey - you never told me about the Bon Jovi thing! You'd think in our marathon phone conversations it might have come up...! ;-) Great post.

[Moira]

Hi Keiko...hee, hee- I have had a lot of jobs, and met a lot of interesting people, too!

Hi Jeanne...jeez- it IS hard to believe I didn't find a way to get that little tidbit into any of our chats! It was a real life-changing moment, too. ;-)

Look at moiii!

OMG. You do have good taste!

[Moira]

Hi Helen...seriously? Which part...the Kath & Kim or the devilled eggs? ;-)

[Pille]

Hi Moira, my favourite bit is the fact that you can't wear wool, but cashmere is fine:)
Thanks for sharing!

I just love these lists

#10 cracked me up. My husband doesn't understand why it irritates me so much when someone in a movie says "we've got company" when the bad guys show up. :D

I stumbled across your blog while I was doing some online research. I never mind getting these from those I know, but I have to admit I never send them out myself.
