Tag - I'm it!

I've been tagged!! The rules:

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.

B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.

C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then go to their blogs and leave them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.


1) I'm a house stalker. No, it's true. There's a house for sale a few blocks from us that is AMAZING. It's also 2.2 million dollars. So, obviously not in our budget. But that didn't stop Ben and me from going to the open house a couple of weekends ago. We learned all kinds of fun facts that I won't bore you with, but which effectively made me obsessed with the place. So, funny enough, I find myself walking by it for some reason or another almost every day, pretending that I'm coming home.


2) I wish I could dance like Ellen. Or at all. But I'm a hopeless case. I can remember Tara trying to teach me how to dance in the bathroom of our high school cafeteria. And I really haven't improved much since then. But Ellen. That girl has style.


3) For not having any kids and not being 100% confident I'll ever want any kids, I sure do have a lot of opinions about how to raise them. I was at the mall today (first mistake) and found myself feeling disgusted on multiple occasions by what I witnessed. Like a six year old drinking a frappaccino. Or a nine year old getting his hair dyed. Or the little girl with the Louis purse. Seriously. Why not take away what little childhood they have? Why not encourage kids to grow up too fast?


4) I'm embarrassed by the tv shows that suck me in. For instance, as I type this I am watching The Real Housewives of Orange County. It is simultaneously absurd and fascinating. I've also spent an entire Sunday watching an America's Next Top Model marathon. WHY?!!!


5) Ever since grad school began, I have all of a sudden developed an interest in keeping a cleaner house and cooking. Can we say 'procrastination'?


6) I'm fully aware that this next statement will cause many people in the Midwest to develop a sudden desire to spit on me: I'm sick of sun. Living in So Cal means I have essentially one forecast: sunny. Forever and always. Without a break. I find myself leaving the apartment to walk to class and this thought goes through my head: "Ugh. The sun is out AGAIN." I have never longed for rain or clouds so much in my life. And every now and then I get my wish. Like today. Today was delicious - perfect soup and sweater weather. Oh, to have a snow day again...


Okay, now on with the show! Rather than six people, I'm just going to have all my friends (all 7 of you!) blog...even if you already did the 100 things one a while back. So, Tiffany, Lauren (and/or Andrew), Darcy and Adam, Mary and Adam, and Liz - you're all it. And GO!
