Six Weird Things

by Meredith Efken

I was tagged last week by Amber Miller (scroll down to “Tag You’re It” on February 12, 2007), and didn’t have a chance to get my participating post up yet. So here goes.

Six Weird Things About…AMBER MILLER!

(Oh, oops. You mean this isn’t supposed to be me commenting on Amber? It’s supposed to be weird things about ME? Okay…if you insist.)

All right, Six Weird Things About Me. (Other than my warped sense of humor…)

  1. I can’t stand wrinkled, untucked sheets on my bed. If I can feel the wrinkles at my feet, I have to get up and straighten everything before I can go to sleep.
  2. I absolutely LOVE the country of Wales and aspire to be fluent in Welsh someday. I’d also like to at least visit Wales for an extended time. I don’t understand why this country fascinates me so, but I love the land, the language, the people, the history…everything.
  3. Cracking crab legs makes me physically ill. In college, I was on a date and had ordered crab legs. Never had them before, and the minute my date started showing me how to use the cracker on them, I got woozy and had to leave the restaurant. I felt so bad, I insisted on paying for dinner, but I think my date gallantly refused.
  4. I don’t use an office chair at my desk. I use an exercise ball. I find that it helps greatly with relieving pain in my lower back and in my wrists. And when I think of something brilliant for my books, I can bounce with excitement. :)
  5. I don’t like coffee. I like chai.
  6. My feet are almost always cold and I have to wear thick wool socks all year, except for summer, to keep them from getting numb.

I think that’s all. I will now tag some fabulous fellow bloggers to talk about six weird things about THEM, not ME! :)

  1. Amy:

    My crazy grandmother never tucks in sheets and gets mad at us if she catches us doing it at her house.

    Just thought I’d share.

    I’m sending you an e-mail about my bad day.

  2. Angie Farnworth:

    Eeek! Six?? Six?? I have to narrow it down to six????

    Okay, Meredith. Just remember that you asked! It will be my topic for tomorrow if I have time to narrow the list by then. :)

    Blessings!

  3. Kathleen Marie:

    We totally have numbers 5 and 6 in common… I love vanilla chai with a shot of caramel. Give it a try sometimes.

    Hugs to you!

  4. Pattie:

    You don’t drink coffee??? I’m not ashamed to admit I’m addicted to it…… :-)

    You didn’t tag me but here’s my list:

  5. Meredith Efken:

    Amy: You do have the MOST fascinating relatives. (She really does, folks!) And I was very sorry to hear about your bad day yesterday. I hope today is much better.

    Angie: Yes, you have to narrow it down. Revision is a writer’s best friend. :)Thanks for participating! I’ll try to hop over to your blog and check out all your weirdness.

    Kathleen Marie: Your vanilla caramel chai sounds fabulous! I’ll have to try it out.

    Pattie: Nope, I don’t drink coffee. Never was able to develop a liking for it. And thanks for including your link! I didn’t tag you because I was trying to give some PR to some of the people who read Violet Voices, but don’t necessarily blog here. But anyone else who wants to participate certainly may! :)

    Okay - here’s mine.

    I’ve been a bit dry - writing wise lately. Thanks for including me in this. ;-)
