Screaming Bean |

Per Frequent Citations request, I've been asked to post the seven things you didn't know about me. This is rather difficult since I've always been a particularly anonymous blogger, and to give away a number of secrets could be seen as an antithesis to what the Screaming Bean tries to be. Or, I could just be copping out here, so here's seven things I've never mentioned about me before. 1. I cannot snap the fingers on my right hand. Now, I can snap the fingers on my left hand just fine, so when people expect me to snap both my fingers, I'm just faking the right hand part. 2. Neither I nor my spouse has traveled outside North America. Of course now that I have the wherewithal to do so, the dollar has fallen to unforeseen new lows. Damn you Euro! 3. I have no male first cousins. Now that my first cousins have had children of their own, there are boy cousins, but for a long time there, nothing but female cousins. 4. I've never seen a shooting star, but I believe I may have seen a UFO when I was seven years old. My mother can corroborate this sighting. Dennis Kucinich is not nearly as crazy as you think. 5. I broke my nose when I was 8. This is a much harder feat than one would think, since as a child your nose is made of rather rubbery cartilage. Taking a face plant off a playground slide will do that to you. 6. I learned to read when I was 2. Being 2, I don't really remember much of the details. Therefore, teaching another child the technique to read would be a real challenge for me, since phonics just sort of happened. As a result, I can speed read and can take out a standard length paperback in just under 2 hours. Packing reading material for a flight is a pain. 7. And since everyone else put in a food item, I hate pickles. Yes, I hate them with a passion. I will not let them pass my lips. But ironically, I like the taste of pickle relish. Discuss. As I'm sure Biting Tongue has never met a fruit or vegetable she didn't like, I ceremoniously tag her to give us seven insights to what it's like to be Biting Tongue. Labels: meme
