a 3inone once tagged me and then the Paperback did the same

A combination tag - Here you go, 3inone, and Paperback

Ten things about me (I am not going to even try and be as interesting as them or the desiwitch)

1. I took gymnastics as a kid for 2 years. We were taught by a tough old Sikh who made us do the wheelbarrow, the cartwheel. all-the-time.

2. I learned the piano for 3 years. Taught by a sweet, mild mannered Mallu who just looked sad when I hammered away. After I was done, he would shake his head and say, "Practise will save you, even if you don't have an ear."

3. I have exhausted the pages of three passports and am at the end of my fourth one now. No big deal, I know but I am a snob about travelling and would have continued stapling all four together if not for the rude airport customs person who suggested it was unnecessary.

4. I have a father who has travelled to every continent (the liveable ones), & who's been close to 43 countries - When I grow up, i want to be just like him.

5. I used to (blush) suck my thumb till I was 6.

6. In drunken stupor, I once kissed a married man - heavily with a side of groping - (in my defense - didnot know he was married, which is why married men should have wedding rings tatooed on them and preferrably a stamp on forehead, no matter how young and should never be allowed to frolick or flirt freely in dimly lit smoke filled clubs)

7. Redhead and I once went in search for a skunk because I had never smelled one.
Childhood question of what's the big deal with Pepe Le Pew finally answered.

8. When I am very, very sad and miss home, I read Agatha Christie.

9. I weighed over 200 pounds at one time. (sigh)

10. The Boy never mentioned weight or losing it or dieting when I weighed over 200 pounds. (sigh)

As always, Tagging anybody and everybody who passes through :)

the manner in which you see life and move through it is fascinating. Sad, rolling with the punches, i wonder when you will break free and shout 'enough' and become prime minister of that land so cruel, loving, unyielding and rich. Sounds like it might happen at any time... oh, and as for married men, they lied, not you; i don't understand your guilt? Not my business though... arranged marriage outside your faith? Not my business but get him Confirmed a.s.a.p.! lol...

I love Agatha Christie!

I once flirted with a married man, until I realized he was married. And then I disdained him for not telling me that he was married. But then someone else actually did hook up with him.

And that is one of the reasons why you are marrying the Boy.
