How can I resist someone who calls herself Tootsie Farklepants (even in Glamour magazine comments) when she asks me to reveal my weirdness? Even after I've already scared up some peculiarities for List #1 & List #2, there is always something more to be said.
RULES: List seven random and/or weird facts about yourself. Tag seven random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs [this will not happen here; play if you want - post your link in comments].
- When playing "school" as a kid, I would make rosters of actual first & last names for my imaginary students (always 28, my favorite number) and call roll.
- I get inordinately excited about playing Scattergories.
- If I didn't have other obligations (and the mothers of waiting children weren't glaring at me), I could sit & swing at a park for hours.
- I dislike Jethro Tull with all of my heart.
- After seeing The Exorcist when I was 10, I felt pretty sure Satan was going to possess me if ever I wanted to skip Sunday School.
- I watched The Exorcist when I was 10 and am considered a rather well-adjusted individual.
- While working at a drug store in college, I met Drew Bledsoe and wrote out his check for him because his hand was injured (the weirdest part here: I still tell this story 17 years later as though it has some kind of special meaning).
We had a connection...

hey...i just read an interview with drew bledsoe, and he talked about that! when that fabulously beautiful woman wrote out his check for him!
who is drew bledsoe though?
Katydidnot: Sometimes it is so exhausting being your friend. He was a quarterback (at WSU, then Buffalo, then New England, and finally where he belonged all along so I could properly love him again, the Cowboys). But thanks for feeding the delusion.
I can't believe you saw the Exorcist at ten? I can barely even think of that movie without crossing myself. Perhaps, still, the most disturbing movie I have ever seen.
I remember reading an article about Drew Bledsoe years ago, and he mentioned a hawt drugstore-working hot babe who once wrote out his check. He just went on and on.
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH! I LOVE SCATTERGORIES! And Scrabble, too. And Upwords. And, and, and...
Hi Stephanie. I don't have your email address and wanted to let you know that because I am going back to teaching in the fall, I have stopped posting to Did I Sign On For This? and have started a new anonymous blog at www.notinfrontofthechildren.blogspot.com.
Thanks for reading the old one!
Scattergories is my family's GAME. And other families that try to hang with us in the Scattergory arena--find they cannot!
I still haven't seen The Exorcist--I'm impressed that you survived the experience, and finding myself wondering, "Is being a Bad Mom genetic?"
So THAT'S the story about Bledsoe! And I LOVE Scattegories! We play it a LOT.
OMG - #2 & #4 ME TOO!
Esp. #4 - wth? FLUTE is NOT a good lead instrument for a rock band!!!!
We never have enough people around to play a proper scattergories game. My daughter is too young yet to be able to fill in each item.
PLus, its more fun to play w. adults and come up with sarcastic/naughty words...
