7 Random Facts

I'm going tag-crazy today. Here's another one I found from JHS, a fellow She Who Blogs.

Here's my list:

01. I don't like the beach - somehow the sand and sun don't appeal to me

02. I sometimes skip paragraphs when I read a book, mostly if the book is boring

03. I'm not a night person or a day person - I like the in-between time

04. I could not find humor in the tv series, The Office, I guess I just don't get it

05. I'm a slow reader - it sometimes takes me couples of month to read just one book - that's probably why I do number #2

06. Meeting new people makes me nervous

07. Talking on the phone makes me nervous, pretty much just talking makes me nervous, I don't really like my voice, it's kind of childish sounding

Qualcosa di Bello at Piacere tag me for this after I've done this. So I'm going to do another with a different book. Here's the text:

An equally good rule is that if something is broken you shouldn't try to fix it either. That's what trained professionals with vans are for. In the past, fixing big things required lathes, blow torches and angle grinders. These days we have glue.

From the Never hit a jellyfish with a spade: How to survive life's smaller challenges by Guy Browning from the chapter title: How to fix things. (I added a fourth sentence as it make more sense.) It's quite a hilarious book. I'm not going to tag anyone but anyone reading this can tag themselves.

I saw this on Keith's Ramblings.

The rules: Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. (No cheating!)
Find Page 123 then dismiss the first 5 sentences. Post the next 3 sentences. Tag 5 people. I'm not going to tag anyone but anyone can tag themselves.

The bleeding stopped after a day and the pain stopped after a week. They buried Domingo and for the first time and last time Inigo left Arabella. His face bandaged, he rode in Yeste's carriage to Madrid, where he lived in Yeste's house, obeyed Yeste's commands.

From The Princess Bride by William Goldman.

5 Things

Typing Away had done a meme with facts about herself. I decided to do them as well. I don't know the name of this meme - I guess it's call 5 things since it involves the number 5. I won't tag anyone but anyone reading this is welcome to tag themselves. I'm going go with 5 random and/or weird facts about me in poetry form and also for Monday Poetry Train.

typing away on my silver keyboard
stopping here and there, soaking in new words and images

anonymous I am
spreading these virtual wings

writing therapeutic prose
revealing myself in this fashion

for a chance to escape spoken words
often nodding my head silently in agreement as if unable to speak

thoughts and ideas - dizzy in my head
out they come on this blog

no coffee or cigarettes necessary
to drive me into a ill spell

of words full of mix emotions
and random acts of automatic writing

to drive the nervousness away
or else I'd be staring into space

of blank canvas and loose pages
flying around from room to room

hoping no one reads this
nothingness is my pen
