Thanks to CaNook, or Canadian Bald Guy, for the Honest Scrap Award! I read his list and thought it was great, and in the spirit of having some fun with it, I’m adding mine. I will not tag anyone else, cuz ya know, I normally don’t do that stuff but am inviting everyone who reads to join!
“The Honest Scrap award is given by other bloggers who consider a blog’s content or design to be brilliant. The awardee must then post ten honest things about themselves and pass the award on to other bloggers who fit the bill – in other words, whose blog is brilliant.”
So thank you again, CaNook, this one is fun!
And away we go …
1) I once fell out of a car. I was 7, my sister was 17. We were driving down the road, (and of course no one wore seat belts back then) and I was leaning on the door of her old junker car when it opened, and bam, I fell out. She kept driving for a bit before realizing I was gone.
2) My first one night stand. Was at the age of … *thinking* … how old was I when I met Irishman?
Okay it was at the age of 35. And that one night stand turned into a one year stand. So perhaps that doesn’t count yet.
3) Two major fears in life. The dentist and bridges that go over water. Ugh, nuff said.
4) I was a Proofreader in a previous life. Once upon a time, upon graduating college, I was a proofreader making exactly $22,000 per year. I made some good friends there, one I lovingly call DorkFace who I still make fun of to this day, and who I use to hockey check into walls (as hard as I could) just for my own amusement.
5) I do not dye my hair. I have very blond, almost white, hair. Think little kid blond. Pretty much everyone adult I meet thinks I dye my hair, but alas, I do not. I do believe however, I’m only one small, tiny gene away from being an albino.
6) I kissed a boy and liked it. I was 11 years old when I had my first french kiss, and after it was done I ran home and brushed my teeth for an hour because I swore I could still taste his spit.
7)I have a tattoo. It’s on my boob, and thought I was the shit when I got it. (Wingman! Remember? I immediately came to your house after to show you!) Now? Not so much.
8 ) Boobs. I was flat as a board from ages 12 to 16, and mostly until I turned approximately 17, when God himself must have waved His hand because BOOM! I woke up one morning and I magically had size D cups.
9) My left eyeball. Is two different colors. Half blue and half green, with a line separating the two colors in the middle.
10) Sex Drive. My sex drive is in overdrive at this point in my life, higher than it’s ever been before. And I’ll leave that at that.
And because I of course, have to mention this one …
Extra: My biggest dream is to travel to Ireland and drink my way around the whole damn country.

1. Oy. I take it you weren’t hurt? I was hit by a car my first time on a bike. Didn’t know how to turn (or stop, apparently) so I just went straight into an intersection and got clobbered.
6. gah, tasting spit. That just made me wrinkle my brow.
7. The tattoo isn’t bad!
8. Hm, a rare, good reason to go to church.
9. I hadn’t noticed this before. I can’t tell if I’m supposed to feel badly about that.
10. McTinyPeePee is hitting the road, Jack, so git yer backup plan in order.

Nice list, and I’m totally with you on #10. Some guy is really missin out right now, let me tell ya.
Love #9, that’s so cool.
June 23, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Love your list – sprinkled with your funny flair. I think heterochromia is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
June 23, 2009 at 6:33 pm
HEY you know the name of it! Points for you Alicia!
June 23, 2009 at 8:50 pm
When do we get to see the tattoo? If it’s pay per view, I have a PayPal account…
June 23, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Ummm…I’m with dads on this one. I’m sure we’re very discreet!
June 24, 2009 at 1:58 am
Unless it’s a tattoo of a stop sign…
If so, you might want to get a “go” sign on your other boob to cover #10.
June 24, 2009 at 5:38 am
ROFLMAO. Oh, dear male readers and commenters on this blog (with the exception of RE). You are hilariously–albeit it pathetically–predictable. NumberHugger’s comment about the “go” sign put me over the edge with laughter.
Oh, yeah, I hear ya on the sex overdrive thing. Oye. As my sister #2 once said, “I’m in my sexual prime and it’s going to f**king waste!” True dat. Well, most of the time anyway. Excellent pun on her part, of course.
Great list, QT. I gotta work on mine.
June 24, 2009 at 7:14 pm
These are awesome! I can’t wait to look at your left eyeball.
Fell out of the car and your sister didn’t notice? Holy crap!
Oh, I also can’t wait to look at your boob. Ya know, to see the tattoo.
Sex drive? Um. Yeah.
Heh. McTinyPeePee still makes me LMAO.
June 24, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Yes T, RE thinks RE is hilarious.
And ya know? I do too.
June 24, 2009 at 11:57 pm
Come on over. I’ll be the tour guide
June 25, 2009 at 12:15 pm
I would just like to point out that I knew even from pictures that you don’t dye your hair. Alas, you probably knew right away that I do!
June 25, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Ahhh Jane, another reason why I love you. You never did question that, even upon our first meeting.
June 25, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Amira – Thenkew.
June 25, 2009 at 5:36 pm
RE – Yeah, you’re funny as hell, but you have a special place here. Hence, not falling into the “typical guy” category on QT’s blog. (No offense to the other male readers here…really.)
June 25, 2009 at 5:44 pm
RE has a special place, oh yes siree! *batting eyelashes*
Oh a special place here.
June 25, 2009 at 7:06 pm
You have blonde eyelashes. This cannot be faked. (Or rather it can but seriously…. who would?)
June 30, 2009 at 10:25 pm
I will be the one to go with you to drink ourselves around Ireland
July 7, 2009 at 12:22 am
Wait…what? There’s a tatoo there? I don’t remember ever seeing anything but boob. Like, everywhere. *smile*
Yes, of course…regardless of the reason, I still think it’s awesome. It represents a time in your life. A time when *I* was regularly in it, so I think you better think it’s still pretty damn cool! *wink*
