A new Meme - 7 Random or Strange Things

Posted on | December 20, 2007 |

weathly_1 over at collectingmycash.com tagged me for a fun meme. The game is to list 7 random or strange things about myself. This should be fun but how in the world am I going to narrow it down to just 7 things? ;-)

Until I was about 8, I thought there was classical music and The Beatles. The first rock group I heard other than The Beatles were The Eagles and I thought they were just doing a bad imitation of The Beatles. I hated it. I’ve been exposed to a whole lot more music and musical styles since then but to this day I am not a fan of The Eagles.
I have never had a cup of coffee. I’ve never smoked. I have never tried any form of illicit drugs. I have tasted alcohol but didn’t like it and have never since imbibed.
Ever since I was a little girl I’ve known I wanted to be a mom and that I would stay at home and raise my own children.
I can sing the Dutch version of Happy Birthday — in Dutch.
When I was just over one year old, a bomb exploded blowing me off my feet and singeing off my eyebrows, eyelashes, and much of my hair. I survived only because a man was in front of me and protected me from the blast. He died.
I once donated almost 2 feet of hair to Locks of Love. My second donation was almost 18 inches.
I was once quite proficient at Gregg shorthand (a skill I have, regretfully, not maintained).

I think I’m supposed to tag a few people but with the holidays imminent, I don’t want to give anyone unwelcome work. If you enjoyed my list and feel like creating your own list of seven random or strange things about you, please consider yourself tagged. Be sure to leave a comment to let me know that you’ve joined the meme.
