|Thanks to Rosslyn Elliott over at Inkhorn Blue, I’ve been tagged (thanks, Rosslyn). So here’s the deal: I’ll share seven random/weird things about myself. I’ve been thinking about it off and on all day, and this is a challenge. I’ve done this once or twice before. I’m also no stranger to the game “Two Truths and a Lie.” Some of you are starting to know me too well! Hmmm…let’s see if I’m up to the task. =)
1. I love climbing things–usually I can’t resist. When I get up really high, though, I’m like a scared kitten in a tree. That still doesn’t stop me most of the time.
2. I often read magazines from back to front.
3. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. (Christmas is a close second.)
4. Texas Independence Day is another favorite day and should still be a holiday. Don’t get me started.
5. The Ginger Rogers in me would love to take more ballroom dancing classes.
6. As a three-year-old I ran away from home.
7. I didn’t see “Star Wars” all the way through until I was in college.
So there you go. But…I’m adding my own twist. One of these is only partially true. Care to guess?
I could tag others, but I’d like to hear from those who don’t necessarily have a blog. I dare you to add your seven things in the comments. And if you do have a blog–and even if you’ve already posted your seven things–add some more here!

Is #6 the partially true one? I’m with you completely about Texas Independence Day. Newspapers are my back-to-front reading matter. Could we share a backward gene?

Hmmm…we’ll wait and see on the guess. I wonder if anyone else will take a stab.
And will you add your seven things, by chance?

I don’t think you’ve watched Star Wars all the way through…
But, knowing you like to climb explains why you joined the choir, and it also explains why you have a death grip on the chair infront of you while you are in the loft.

I am going to go with #2. I have to read sentences from forward to backward. Going backward gets my already feeble brain even more tired – and I get nothing out of it. So I think that (from a literal sense) that #2 could only be partially true.

Well, my mom gets the gold star. She knows that I didn’t exactly run away from home; my journey came from my independent streak…but that’s another story for another time, perhaps.
As for gripping the choir chair, I was sick!! I reasoned that was more subtle than careening over the sopranos. …Less funny, but more subtle.

Alison, I love the magazine back-to-front one and completely agree about Thanksgiving. I would love Christmas so much more if it didn’t involve all the hoopla…I know, bah humbug. Christmas is so spiritually significant, I never want to lose that. But Christmas music in early November? Yeah, I can easily lose THAT.
Great random things, Alison!

Alison, I was going to go with Mom’s guess even before you said that was correct — always carefully consider the voice of authority before dismissing
I like to magazines read back-to-front too. The classifieds in some can be more interesting than the articles. I love Writer’s Digest classifieds…
