Five things you don’t know about me

Posted on January 3, 2007

I would like to thank Daily Planit for tagging me, I did not even know this was a game. I have read several “five things” blogs and keep thinking I was just reading the same blog. Thanks for saving me from the land of the clueless. It is an honor to be tagged.

I would first like to add that you probably know nothing about me but if you pay close attention to my blogs then you pretty much know a lot more about me than I would ordinarily share with the entire world.

Here are five things you don’t know about me:

I believe you can find every answer to every question you have in a book. (I love, love, love books.)

I am a chronic night owl if I could I would go to bed at noon and wake up at 8pm. I get the most work done between midnight and 9am. I think afternoon is a waste of time (except those lazy afternoons on a porch “down south” of anywhere or under a large blue and white umbrella on a tropical island with a glass of ice cold lemonade*). In reality, I should say, afternoon is a waste of time because that is the time I waste the most.

I don’t like the sun. I appreciate the sun and its scientific purposes you know giving us life, keeping us warm, solar energy and all that. I love the beautiful scenery it produces when I am not standing in it. If you were to catch me in the sun. please note that that means I am in great discomfort, it burns me.

I don’t like being cold, I think winter is absolutely pointless (only pretty to look at in a picture**.) It should be spring, summer, autumn, I don’t care what the geological, biological or any other ramifications there will be without winter, but I still think it is pointless. After my first winter in New York City, I know exactly what the people that moved West were thinking: “Why? Why? Why?” and “Get me the h… out of here.”

I love cartoons to the point of almost freaky, by the way I am so not a child. I think Cartoon Network and Studio Ghibli are my special gift from God.

Enough sharing for today. Now I am going to tag a five bloggers I love and visit often and I believe my part in this will be completed.

I tag: Amit at The Power of Choice, Steve at Stevepavlina.com, Bryan at Bryan C. Fleming, Craig at craigharper.com and Nneka at Balanced Life Center.

I reviewed a few posts and realized this “meme” was bigger than I thought. I also learned that I am to apologize for including you as this seems to be some kind of chain letter, sorry guys, you learn something everyday. But I have to say this was fun, I found a few blogs I would not have otherwise found.

PS
*’ There are no lazy afternoons where I live, and I am evoking images from the movie Gone With the Wind or some place in the South of France, Spain or Greece. The tropical island is the retirement home of my dreams.
** I apologize to all the people living in winter wonderlands but I bet some days you agree with me. I am still dealing with my feeling about winter hence my site design.

Egad! You mean this is a chain letter? I hate those! So sorry about that, but I did really enjoy reading what you wrote! I totally agree about books and winter, and enjoy cartoons too. Rosemary

Hi, your 5 things had me rolling. “I don’t like the sun.” “I don’t like cold.” May I ask where you live? Must be somewhere in between. I wholeheartedly agree with the cold part. I don’t see the point in winter either.

Unfortunately, I got the chain letter before and responded. (Really it isn’t a chain letter, but a really fun way to meet fellow bloggers.)

Anyway, my response is here: http://www.balancedlifecenter.com/118-5-little-known-facts-about-me/

Thank you so much guys, I loved being tagged, I loved writing the five things, when I started I didn’t think I had five. By the time I was done, I had to edit mercilessly.

Rosemary, it was a pleasure being tagged by you I would never have known what was going on, I just assumed prior to this that I had a bad case of déjà vu, thanks for clearing that up.

Nneka, I live in San Francisco, California the weather is right in the middle not too hot, not too cold. We get heat waves twice a year if we are lucky (so they say) and that is when we get into the 90s. It never gets too cold but cold enough for us to complain. PS, I still complain about the heat, I don’t go in the sun if I don’t have too and my heater is on 24/7.

Amit, you know that is no way I would tag five favs and not tag you. However, I did not know you had a list, I even checked out your site, looking at the list now, I realize I have read it before.

Thank you guys, Rosemary and Nneka is has been my pleasure meeting you “in person” the number of people I know online has officially increased by 2. Amit, I know I will talk to you later.

Cheers everyone,

Tabs

PS
This was a good chain letter.
