I went and got myself tagged by Rob. I am exhausted from working and being sick this week so I don’t have the energy to write to post about non-Baptist Baptists I was going to write. I guess I will save that fun for another day. I’m going to cheat a little since I did this about two months ago and I’m lacking the creativity to do the whole list over again…
1. I don’t eat seafood of any kind. I like the taste of it; I don’t like the idea of eating worms. (The FDA allows so many worms per square inch in our seafood.) That thought alone is enough to make me gag when trying to consume seafood.
2. My head is lopsided thanks to a shunt that was placed in my brain. Thankfully, I have very thick, very curly hair so you can’t tell unless my head is shaved for a medical procedure, or my hair is wet.
3. I was once kicked out of The Alamo. After the person I was with took a picture inside, we were asked to leave the premises. There was a Texas Ranger there who was willing to escort us out. The Alamo is considered a sacred resting place, which is why taking pictures inside is forbidden. I knew the rules and felt guilty at the time (even though I did not take the picture). My friends and I now look back on it and laugh.
4. Spinal taps are uncomfortable, painful, dreadful things. But I’d rather have ten spinal taps than one MRI. I’m terrified of MRIs which isn’t good since I have a rare neurological disorder and doctors like looking at my brain. In order to have an MRI done, I have to be sedated, by IV and given anti-anxiety medication orally. It is a big ordeal that pretty much leaves me knocked out for two days after the procedure.
5. At 5’10” I’m too tall for normal length jeans and too short for tall jeans. I usually have to buy tall jeans and have them hemmed.
6. I love bugs, but I’m deathly afraid of cockroaches. I will gladly hold and observe ladybugs, beetles, grasshoppers, and crickets. But if I see a cockroach ten feet away from me in the same room I’ll run out of the room screaming at the top of my lungs. Why I possess this fear, I do not know. Trust me, it is utterly inconvenient since I live in south Texas.

Am I a bad Southerner for reading number three and wondering why you got kicked out of a theatre? I mean, I consider myself something of a movie buff, but come on, sacred?
Miss you, Jenny. Wish we had been able to see you this weekend.

Oh come on. I’ve seen several heads more crooked than yours.
Ok, just one. But damn, that was a seriously crooked head.
