Random Facts

I found this meme over at Andi’s place, and I just couldn’t resist! 

The Rules:

  • Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
  • Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
  • Players should tag eight other people and notify them that they have been tagged.

The eight:

  • I was an ugly duckling in high school and never even got asked to the prom.
  • I got married exactly 13 years ago today.  We filed for divorce exactly 8 years ago today.
  • If I could date one fictional character, it would be Sam Winchester from Supernatural.  He’s totally my type.
  • I once met a guy at a funeral.  We went out a few times, but nothing serious ever came of it.
  • If I had to choose one thing above all else that attracts me to a guy, it would be sense of humor.
  • I once repaired hardwood floors on an episode of Complete Fix It on the DIY Network.
  • I can’t hook up my TV and DVD player successfully, but I can do all the repairs and upgrades on my computer without any assistance.
  • I sleep in the nude.

I tag: BrianC, AB5SY, Sterling, Mike, Yeah Him, Memphis Steve, Bekah, and Red.

    Your appliances don’t flash 12:00, do they?

  2. Bekah Says:

    Okay, I’ll play.
    Gimme a few to get something up!

  3. Mike Says:

    OMG, I think I saw that episode. I’ve been wondering why you look so familiar to me :P

    I don’t think I know 8 other people to tag :(

    Duckling: I continue to be pleasantly surprised at how nice a lot of women look now I took for granted in high school, and disappointed in myself for the same reason. I would imagine we were all mostly the same inside then that we are now and were ignored because of looks. That’s a shame (goes for men and women, too).

    Funeral: Don’t you mean the relationship was dead from the start?

    Humor: Good for you :)

    Floors: Is the DIY episode online anywhere?

    And why are we not shocked at #8? ;)

    Mark ~ How did you know? ;)

    Bekah ~ Thanks! Can’t wait to see your post!

    Mike ~ *LOL* They still show the rerun on tv sometimes! Every time it airs, I get a few phone calls. As for the tags, you can tag fewer than 8 if ya want. Can’t wait to see your post!

    Barry ~ That’s just part of being a kid, I guess. We learn much later in life to appreciate inner beauty. Unfortunately, some people never learn. As for the DIY episode, I’m not sure if it’s online, but they still show it on tv every now and then. And I have a copy! I’ll let you watch it sometime. hehe. As for #8, you know me all too well! ;)

  6. Andi Says:

    Thanks for playing along!!! I love that you met a guy at a funeral. What a Sex & the City moment. :)

  7. lovesickalien Says:

    Do you know ahead of time when the show will be aired again? You should tape it and make a blog post out of it :P

  8. Mushy Says:

    It’s a good thing you didn’t post number 8 first…otherwise I would not have comprehended the other 7.

  9. Mike Says:

    Whoops…forgot I was still logged in with my Wordpress name…hehe :D

    It’s always nice to learn more new things about you Tish. I sleep in the nude too, I can’t stand having pj’s bunching up on me.
    Thanks for stopping by and the update.:)

  11. Wm H Says:

    Hi Tish,
    I see you’ve dropped by to see if I took the bait and posted a meme, yes I will, it is ready, and will hit the www with the morning post.

  12. sterlingcamden Says:

    Hey Tish, thanks for the tag! I’ll have to think about this one. #8 applies to me too, but somehow it’s just not as interesting as when you say it.

  13. tek428 Says:

    Sounds like your a supernatural fan. I’m a huge fan myself.

    I had the season finale recorded on my dvr. When I went to watch the show the following night, I noticed that the cable or power had apparently went out about 15 minutes after the show started recording. I saw up to the point where Dean sealed the deal, and Sam woke up. That was as far as I got… :( If you have time, would you mind summing up the rest of the finale for me?

    Thanks :)

  14. Bucky Says:

    The above comment about supernatural was mine.

    I didn’t log out of my global dashboard…oops. :)

  15. chattiekat Says:

    Andi ~ I have really got to watch that show sometime! Oh, the stories I’ve heard!

    Mike ~ I have a copy of the show. Maybe I will make a post out of it sometime. hehehe. Thanks for the idea!

    Mushy ~ I love your honesty! ;)

    Mike ~ That’s okay. You’re the only lovesick alien I know. ;)

    TC ~ Good to see you again! Hopefully you’ll stay in touch this time! And maybe I can meet you when I go to Detroit again.

    Wm ~ So glad you posted! You don’t really blog about yourself, so I was really anxious to read your answers to the meme. :)

    Sterling ~ *LOL* It’s interesting to me.

    Bucky ~ It’s great to find another Supernatural fan! So sorry that I can’t update you on the season finale. I have caught very few episodes this season. I’ll be catching up when the DVDs are released. I bought Season 1 on DVD. Well worth the money! What a great show!!
