A Belated meme

I'm days and days late on this.

I haven't been around much, sorry about that.

But here I am, more or less back. We had company visiting. It was a very nice time. Sad to see it end. And I'm in denial about the school year re-starting on Monday. Just imagine me going La La La.

So anyway, the meme. Theresa tagged me. I'm the Only Blogging Kim she knows. LOL. I pre-tag all of you. In case I forget at the end.

5 things that you don't know about me

If I can think of that many. I think you all know me. I'm an open book. I'll try to think of things you don't already know.

1.) in general I don't like the washing dishes chore, but my specific dislike is drying dishes. I would rather let them sit (for months, if necessary) and air dry, to put them away. If you wash your hands and drip on my nearly-dry dishes, it will frustrate me.

2.) I used to LOVE Diet Pepsi and HATE Diet Coke. And then, one day, while in my college years, I suddenly but wholeheartedly switched. Flip-flopped. Now I hate Diet Pepsi. Can't stand it. Will NOT get it in a restaurant. Once I made them take one back because I ordered a diet coke and they brought diet pepsi without telling me they didn't have coke.

3.) I like berries. I like pancakes. I do not like berries in my pancakes.

4.) I strongly dislike the colors orange and brown. Especially when they're together. No matter how retro-trendy they might be. I will always hate them as much as I hate Diet Pepsi.

5.) In 7th Grade a kid known as "The Fish" used to throw raisins and peanuts in my hair, trying to get them stuck in my curls. And in 8th grade my History teacher told me that it looked like I kept spiders in my hair. And in 9th grade I bleached my hair orange with Sun-in, let it grow out a few inches, and then got it cut short on the sides and back and long on top (guess the era!) and only the top still had orange. So I kept it that way on purpose until the summer before my Senior year. I bleached the top with successfully stronger bleaches until the top was white and brittle and screamed if you touched it.

Which of those did you already know? All of them?

They're not that interesting.

Should I change them?

That first one is pretty lame, eh?

Um ... what would I replace it with?

You already know I used to slice ferret brains with an electron microscope.

Did you know I was asked to be a lead in a school play in first grade because my voice "carried so well" ? Or that I played Lucy in "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" in 8th grade (or something like that) ??

I think you all knew all that already. I have no secrets.
