Super-TAG

I was tagged, days ago, by Darron. This has got to be the longest tag I've ever done. Thanks, Darron...I owe ya one!

Part One: 15 random things about me

1. I've never had a broken bone. (Thank goodness.)

2. Although I'm not superstitious in the traditional sense, I don't like calling attention to the blessings in my life, for fear something bad will happen.

3. I was a Girl Scout from Brownies through Seniors. That's second grade through twelfth.

4. I was a Girl Scout Leader for three years.

5. Even after all that scouting & camping, I probably couldn't light a fire & keep it lit, if my life depended on it.

6. I was voted "Miss Sweet & Shy" my first two years of High School.

7. I took organ lessons for seven years, played in recitals, & even performed at a local restaurant.

8. I couldn't figure out word problems in Math class to save my soul, but I LOVE doing the Logic Problems in the Crossword books.

9. My ex & I "studied" with Jehovah's Witnesses off & on for 11 years.

10. I visited Mexico City when my cousin got married, & a group of us took a VW van ride to Acapulco with a few of my cousin's friends from the area....that was a cool time!

11. I have a huge pen fetish. I have more pens than I will ever use in a lifetime!

12. I love playing board games & cards, especially Pinochle.

13. I tried the Quija board with my son, & it eerily spelled things out. He refuses to try it with me again.

14. I have two friends (that don't know each other) here on Myspace, that live in a NJ city that my family lives in, & it isn't a big city, like Trenton. What are the odds?

15. I can fall asleep anywhere & anytime. This doesn't fare well when you're driving home in afternoon traffic.

Part II: 10 messages to anonymous friends:

1. I hope your goals come to fruition soon. You deserve it.
2. I'm glad you appeared....I like hearing from you.
3. If we were to meet IRL, I think we'd chat like we'd been friends for years!
4. We would have a wild time together IRL....with lots of laughing (& drinking).
5. Don't try so hard.
6. Never settle for the comfort zone.
7. I hope the hard decisions you're making are truly going to bring you happiness, with no regrets.
8. I miss you being around.
9. Keep your sense of humor always.
10. Don't get caught up in the control of another.
