Meme is the Theme or So It Seems

I’ve been tagged again with the seven random thing meme. I would have just skipped it, except that Gummby said this about me:

[She] probably doesn’t do memes, but I just gotta try. Just think of it: 7 random things from one of the most deliberate bloggers in the ‘sphere—how could you not want to see that?

That’s like a challenge or something isn’t it? He thinks I can’t do random, doesn’t he? He thinks I’m spontaneity challenged! Well I’ll show him! I came up with random things yesterday and I’ll come up with random things again today. In fact, I’ll put in on my schedule and come up with random things … oh never mind.

The idea is to list 7 random facts/habits about myself.

1. I like Hank Williams and Willie Nelson. Don’t think less of me.
   
2. I almost never have my hair cut professionally because I won’t be satisfied with the job done. Instead I rope an unsuspecting kid and force them to cut my hair. I still might not be satisfied with that job, but at least I didn’t pay for it.
3. I have a pair of binoculars beside me as I type this. They are for spying into my neighbour’s yards…to see what birds are hanging out there.
4. I have very short toes and one of my little toes has almost no nail. There is a possibility I’ve used this fact in one of the other random memes I’ve done, because as I typed that, I had a bizarre feeling of deja vu.
5. The first web page I check every morning is this one.
6. I have a natural drive to win every argument at any cost. Even when I’m wrong.
   
7. You know those women who can multi-task? I’m not one of them, which is why I left the oven on after I took supper out tonight and then left it on while I typed items 1-6 of this list. How’s that for spontaneity?

Are you serious about the first website you check out? It seems sooooooo not you.:)

I also debate and try to win arguments. I do try to get my hair cut by a professional because it makes me feel all fresh and new.

Great list.

I'm serious. I love seeing what people are wearing in the various cities.

My hair does its own thing no matter what, so it looks the same whether it's cut professionally or not.

Oh, I remember that website! I saw it a year or so ago and found it temporarily fascinating.

: D

I love this list!!

I like Willie Nelson, too. My husband tries to rope me into cutting his hair, but I'm afraid to.

I've never won an argument.

I'm with you on the hair but I wold never ever let anyone touch mine except a professional - then I moan anyway.

[Even So...]

I was going to write what DJP did, but I was too late...

[Gummby]

Woo-hoo! Seriously, thanks for doing this. It was fun to read.

All except #6. That hit a little close to home.

I've added the sartorialist to my bookmarks. I may not visit it daily, however.

I see we have some music snobs. :)

Good for you. It's a step in the right direction. :)

The sad thing is that I went way too long in my life without recognizing it.

Actually my debates are usually confined to two of my kids and cover all of their liberal ideas. We love to debate issues and find it fun. I don't like to argue with other folks really. I did spend a summer at a wilderness ministry arguing Arminianism vs. Calvinism which I had not even heard about until that summer. Prior to that summer I was stuck in popular evangelical wasteland. That summer changed my life.
