Okay. Courtesy of the tag from Washington Gardener (http://washingtongardener.blogspot.com/2009/12/honest-scrap-award.html), here are 10 honest things about me. I was admonished to make them interesting. I don't find myself all that interesting, but I'll give it a shot.
- I can touch my tongue to my nose. Really. It’s my best stupid human trick.
- I love the sound of my own voice. I avoid radio stations that play songs I don’t know, just because I can’t sing along. Talk radio is a complete waste of my time.
- I hate bathing. Don’t get me wrong. I like being clean. I just hate baths and showers. I take showers because they’re more efficient. But I find the entire process irritating.
- I am, bar none, the laziest person I know.
- Canadians, performance artists and lawyers bug me.
- Even if I lived completely alone on a perfectly climate controlled deep-space station, I would still wear clothes.
- I’m intimidated by just about everyone on the planet. Yes. Even you.
- I’ve enjoyed very few “great writers” that I’ve ever read. Among others, I hate Dickens, Melville, Hawthorne, nearly all of Hemingway, Saul Bellow, Henry James, Hardy, Dreiser, Orwell, Conrad, D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Kerouac, Cheever, Updike, Plath and Pynchon.
- I have disliked nearly everyone who has ever been introduced to me as “Oh, you’ll love Soandso. He/She’s just like you.”
- I’m 40 years old and I still have no idea what I’m doing.

Yeah #9 is a head scratcher - do folks EVER get that right? YOu wonder what it is the see when they look at you.
Evidently what they see when they look at me is anywhere from a mild irritant to a complete asshole. I try not to think about it too hard, because there's a very good possibility that it implies that I don't like myself a whole lot either. Or that I really need to work on my personality.
It's your personality that keeps your blogs interesting and funny.
How brave of you to list those things. I will never make such a list, although for several I could just say "ditto".
Fear not, Glo. This was painful enough that I had already decided not to pass the honest scrap award along. Though I suppose not everybody's truths are quite as unflattering as mine. You know. Like "I donate anonymously to charity." Or "I'm Batman."
