a little bit late, but still...

I was tagged by Jess, so here goes...

Rules:
1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I do not like carbonation. I never have. So I don't drink soda or other carbonated beverages. I don't like the fizzy sensation. When I first began drinking beer, I used to swirl and let my beer sit and repeat until it went mostly flat. Everyone thought it was gross. (Exception: I love champagne.)

2. I have always been a late bloomer. I use that as an excuse for my awkwardness.

3. 11:11 is my favorite time.

4. Drains and raw meat disgust me. (I'm not too fond of most cooked meat either.)

5. I am accident prone when it comes to burns. Flat iron, curling iron, oven/stove, basically anything that gets hot, I manage to burn myself with every opportunity. If I didn't have at least one burn on my body at all times, I might start to worry.

6. I lived in Panama in the late 80s during US occupation of the Panama Canal Zone. During Operation Just Cause, I remember not being able to attend school and having to remain low to the floor in the house at mealtimes. As a result, crisis situations, such as storms, always give me a calming sense of togetherness.

7. Boba tea makes me ridiculously happy. It is probably the caffeine, but I prefer to think there is something magical in those balls of tapioca.

8. Showering is great. I shower at least twice a day.

In direct violation of rule 4, i shall not be explicitly tagging 8 people. If you want to be tagged, then go ahead.
