6 Weird Things About GrimRealityGirl

MSUGal86, tagged me too! I am to write a list of six weird things about me. She will be sorry she asked! I am limiting the list to the six, know that there are many more weird things about me (I think sharing more might give you nightmares though!). I am weird, read no further if you can't take it...

1. I’ve spent the last 5 years taking more college classes so that I can get a lower paying job. I already have a degree so my tuition is at grad school prices as I work toward teaching certification. If this doesn’t certify me as weird, what does?

2. I like cemeteries. They are peaceful. I never thought I’d be a person who would visit a loved one’s grave. I was wrong. I like going there and do so often – even if I just drive through the winding roads. The trees are so pretty.

3. I played Dungeon and Dragons in high school with a few friends. I was just a fringe player late to the party, but I went to that party…. Really.

4. Like Lisa at Women Having It All, I HATE shopping. I worked retail management for 10 years. That alone makes me hate people and crowds. I have found shopping online to be healing...

5. Frozen corn. I have eaten frozen corn in the frozen state. It is sweet and refreshing to the pallet. Why did I ever try frozen corn to learn this? I am ashamed.

6. I am comfortable in hospitals and nursing homes. I’ve spent so much time there that I am comfortable and good at it. I can find the best coffee and get you the best care you will ever need. One of the biggest compliments I ever got was a nurse at the hospital who asked me what hospital I was a nurse at. I have the experience and understand their language – those people have great stories! No, I am not a nurse -- but I play one on TV.

Now I am to tag others – I’m doubly tagging Angry Dad and Kelly. I want to hear about your wierdness! If you are reading this and have not been tagged yet, CONSIDER YOURSELF TAGGED! You are it! Comment here so I can come see what is weird about YOU!

I have never tried the frozen corn thing, but now I am going to!

I think cemeteries are just fine.

I can't figure out why you people don't like shopping!

It's good to pursue your passion. you made the right career choice!

i love that you are following your passion regardless of salary to be a teacher. but i did laugh at how you framed it about going back for a degree that will get you a lower paying job. All the second careers I contemplate would get me once again no money. oh well.

i never thought about it before you said it, but i feel that way about cemetaries too!

wow, i love finding a companion in my hatred for shopping. Thank you pants that come in the mail.

Darn I wish you had been able to write more than six, because these are all so interesting,.....
