daisy chain

alright, i don't normally do this kind of stuff but since it's nate i haaaaave to.  so i got a message from nate (aka the teeth and / or the phantom pooper) saying he had given me the daisy award and to visit his blog for the deets.  in conclusion i must now share seven usual or strange things about me and then pass three other bloggers the daisy award... creating a never ending cycle of giving and receiving of daisies until the internet is just one giant daisy field.  or something like that.

1. i have a million dream jobs i would like to do: raising goats and making goat soap, radio dj, forest ranger, roller derby girl, author, painter, tap dancer, food truck owner, jungle cruise skipper and tons of other things.  i seem to be always coming up with something new to be when i grow up and i'm afraid there won't be enough time to do them all. but that doesn't mean i won't try.

let me milk you and make soap! please!

2. i have a long standing belief that i have a lisp.  everyone tells me i don't, but i don't believe them... so don't bother trying to fight me about it.

3. i read the harry potter series for the first time two years ago and quickly became obsessed.  and then i watched all the movies up to 7.1 (which was in the theater at the time). i have been to harry potter world in florida twice (once with friends and once by myself for christmas). i have been to a wizard rock concert. and i am in the process of reading the series for the third time.  i don't think of myself as any of the characters but several of my friends or not-so-much-friends remind me of the characters.  i had a roommate who i still swear was umbridge in the flesh.
omg, i love cats and being fake nice to people.
4. i have referred to myself as a gypsy since i was about 15.  moral of the story: be careful what you tell yourself.
they love gypsies in toyland.
5. i haven't eaten mashed potatoes since i was 4.  i had an incident that now makes that food look like puke to me and i have eaten them again.  because sometimes you make up your mind when you're 4 and you never change it again.  i actually am quite prone to dry heaving... usually from lack of sleep, too much excitement or one of my 3 trigger words (which all start with the letter s).

6. in general, people think i am pretty brave and fearless and i, generally, am.  except when it comes to anything that could potentially be physically dangerous.  like even a little bit.  when i see a spider or a lizard or a dust bunny that moves too quickly my lips instantly start to tingle.  which is my own personal version of my spidee sense warning me of impending doom.  i am also afraid of going under water, jumping off things, being too high in the air and pretty much anything else you can think of that might make a person hurt.  i'm not afraid of traveling alone or public speaking or giving away all my stuff and moving across the country.
back, you devil monster!
7. i have a long standing lie that i tell to people... that i met will ferrell one time when i was in new york.  that never happened.  but we did have some guy on the street tell us that will ferrell was filming a movie on top of the building we were standing near and that's why craft services was there.  and that's the truth of that story.  but i really did see meredith from the office on the subway in new york.  and mr schue really did make fun of me with his eyes for loving donuts in a museum in dc.
i swear, that's why we couldn't get a picture!

alright, i did it!  yay for me!  and now on to the tagging:

abby - she used to wear a cloak and was often subjected to my gypsy pounce.
brianna - she makes the best cookies... and anything else.
jessica - i once told her i hated all her shoes. and i did.

I did learn some new facts about you. And thank you for referring to my husband as the phantom pooper. It's why we always keep a shoebox in the car. For just such scenarios.

Nate Eaton said...

I thought about including the phantom pooper story on my "little known fact about Nate" post...but decided against it. I feel it deserves a post of its own.

Kudos on an excellent daisy post. You deserve the award!

BAHAHAHA - I was totally going to ignore the award, but then you mentioned the gypsy pounce and I laughed, only sort of out loud so it didn't count as a LOL, and I jjust can't ignore that, but I can use both of those as part of my daisy post!!

You did meet Will Ferrell. Don't lie to the public.

This is a little random, but I am going to say it anyway-
Neither I nor my sister can stand the feeling of wood on our teeth or lips. For instance, neither of us can take using those little wooden spoons that sometimes come with ice cream. She and I agree that it is better to use no utensil at all. When we were discussing how horrible the feeling of a wooden spoon in you mouth is we said, "I wonder if this is how Elaina feels about touching satin?"

You never really said you HATED all of them - more you would look at them and say, "are you really wearing THOSE?"

I still have them...but have added ones you might like now.
