I've Been Tagged...

OK, I'll give the meme a chance...but with some trepidation. Having had limited experience with memes, I'm suspicious and wary of them. I was tagged twice with the same meme, first by Mrs. R at Tealtownand then by Idle Musings. I'm too lazy to respond separately to both, so I'm treating them as a joint request. So, here goes:

1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.


2. Share 7 random and or weird things about yourself.


3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.


4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Here are my random and wierd things:

1. My first car was a brand new 1971 Ford Pinto that I owned for 7 years without being burned to death as a result a rear-end collision;


2. I considered pursuing degrees (from B.A. to Ph.D.) in linguistics during my first two years in college, but discovered that my academic interests did not match my lack of discipline.


3. I would love to own and operate a tractor in an agricultural setting


4. I've written quite alot that I've never allowed another human being to lay eyes on...for reasons I'm still not quite sure of


5. The older I get, the more liberal my politics and sense of social justice...if I live to be 112, I will work to overthrow all governments and form a commune in another galaxy.


6. I have a very, very hard time liking or even tolerating people I consider stupid, notwithstanding my liberalism...which makes me suspicious of myself.


7. I'm 54 years old but am not nearly "mature" enough for most 54-year-olds with whom I associate to think of me as a responsible adult. I think.

So, there you have it. I'm somewhat randomly selecting the following to tag:

Brethren Priestess Online
Everybody Knows
The Fat Lady Sings
Indian Food Rocks
Withinsight
Bay of Fundy Blog
Letters from the Moon
