I’m Weird: In Honor of Mrs. E

I WAS TAGGED.

I’m supposed to tell you some weird stuff about me.  Am I that interesting?  Let’s see . . .

According to the rules…
Each player of this game starts with the “6 weird things about you”. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says “you are tagged” in their comments and tell them to read your blog.
1. I speak Flemish, Kazhakstani, Hebrew, Klingon, and elfish (Tolkien derivative).  I learned all of these in my sleep with subliminal tapes over the course of 6 weeks while the Professor was away in Brazil last summer – he was becoming fluent in Portuguese and I felt like I was falling behind.
2. I was married once for 36 hours to a pygmy from the Congo.  He needed a green card.
3. I made a fortune at a very young age buying pork futures.  I lost it all on a spin of the roulette wheel on my first trip to Vegas – I still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night screaming “Red!!  I meant red!!”
4. I have a metal plate in my head that plays a Spanish radio station non-stop.  I’ve learned to tune it out.
5. I had a lap blanket made from the hair of my childhood hamsters.  Whenever I cuddle with it I think of Squeakers.
6. For the first two years of my college education I lost the ability to type the word “the.”  My abstract and grammatically convoluted papers won me international accolades, and in all the years since I have been publishing prose of dubitable quality but exceptional popularity under a pseudonym.

    Red!!  I meant RED!!!  That made me laugh out loud.  Too funny and exactly what I needed this morning. 
     
    Hope married life is treating you well.  As for that name change, don\’t rush it.  It is a huge pain!
