8 Random Facts

My sister tagged me to list 8 random facts about myself-since I just did three in my list 3 things tag, I am only going to list 5. (If you are desperate for 8-scroll down.)

1. I can get brain freeze from cold tap water. I have a really sensitive cold meter I guess. I can't eat slushies-those are like torture. I get this from my Dad-I suppose there are worse things to pass on to your children.

2. I have a strange, natural talent of good grammar. I notice when people use apostrophes when they shouldn't (use it when it possessive not plural, please!), when except and accept, effect and affect, etc. are misused. The thing that drives me nuts though is when people use I instead of me. For example, it is incorrect to say, "Joe came to see Bob and I." You need to say, "Joe came to see Bob and me." Reason: you wouldn't say, "Bob came to see I." Make sense? It doesn't to most people so I just deal with it. It really doesn't bother me all that much-most people were taught grammar by mean, old, way-past-retirement middle school teachers. I don't blame you!

3. I went to three different schools in kindergarten and three different schools in 4th grade. My dad was in the military and we were between moves.

4. I am obsessed with Swedish Fish-I can eat a whole bag (like the $3 bag) in about 15 minutes and still want more. Needless to say, I don't buy them all that often.

5. I HATE commercials. I change the channel on the radio or mute the TV when they come on. I don't really have a reason-I suppose I don't like useless spending and there are very few helpful commercials that actually have a point. Jake has finally learned that if he has the remote it's better to just mute it during the commercials rather than listen to me ask every 8 minutes when the show takes a break.

Alright, I suppose I am supposed to tag people-if you want to do this, you are tagged. Boring, I know. :)
