Random Things About Me

Michele at Frugal Granola tagged me to share 6 random things about myself. When I am done, I get to tag 6 more people to play along. So, here goes, six random things about me:

1. Once I get about halfway through a book, I turn to very last page and read only the very last sentence. This has never ruined an ending for me. I've tried to not do it, but I just can't help it. I do manage to resist the urge to read more than just that one sentence though.
2. I have the really annoying habit of ending a lot of my sentences with, "ya' know?" or "know what I mean?" It annoys me and I'm sure it annoys just about everyone I talk to. Eric probably doesn't even hear it anymore.
3. The three biggest infatuations I have kept with me since high school are: all things Van Gogh, an undying love and appreciation for the music of Joni Mitchell, my coffee and espresso habit.
4. I remember every little detail of my childhood. When I am with my family reminiscing about something, I am always the one who embellishes the story by sharing what everyone was wearing and what we ate and what the weather was like.
   
5. I strongly prefer fine-point or extra fine-point blue pens to any other writing instrument.
6. I am deathly afraid of popping noises. I can't even stand to be around balloons. I also can't open the canned, refrigerated rolls. It is pure torture for me to watch someone blowing up a plastic bag to pop it. Unfortunately, Eric knows this and loves to torture me. He has yet to actually pop one, but the fear is still there. I mean, it could happen accidentally, ya' know?

So here are the six people that I am tagging:

1. Sonshine at Glimpse of Sonshine
2. Nancy at 3 Blondes and the Law
3. Jennifer at Getting Ahead
4. Elle at A Complete Thought
5. Amy at Amy's Finer Things
6. Angela at The Testosterone Palace
