Here’s how it works:
Link to the person that tagged you: Metalmom
Post the rules on your blog. And here they are:
Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog, tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
1.) I hate going to the bathroom. Especially when I am not at home. This includes both #1 and #2. There are times when I don’t pee from the time I wake up in the morning until I get home from work. One time, I didn’t go to the bathroom for 24 hours. My co-workers are always nagging me about it, so don’t feel like you have to, too. I know it isn’t good for me.
2.) I have to have my back scratched every night. EVERY NIGHT. It itches every night when I get ready for bed. It is not in my head. It really, really itches.
3.) I eat really fast. I know that this isn’t good for me either. It’s because when I first started working at the clinic, some 20 years ago, I worked for a doctor who was always so far behind that we never got a lunch break. I learned to eat in between rooming patients, taking care of them, answering phone calls and making phone calls. If I didn’t eat fast, my food would get cold. I have to consciously tell myself to slow down sometimes.
4.) I hate driving by myself. I am certain that I am going to die in an automobile accident and I don’t want to die alone. I don’t really like driving. Maybe it stems from the horrific movies that they showed us in driving school so that we would hopefully be “scared straight” or whatever.
5.) I am addicted to watching true crime shows. (For example, Forensic Files, City Confidential, FBI Files, 48 Hours Hard Evidence, First 48, etc.) I especially like watching them when I am trying to go to sleep.
6.) I hate reality TV. American Idol, Survivor, Amazing Race, etc. Hate them all. I do watch Biggest Loser, I’ll admit it. I just can’t turn my head away and the people on there inspire me even if it is a totally unrealistic way that they lose weight. I mean, they are totally isolated with no real world temptation or stress and they work out 4-6 hours a day. Who could possibly do that?
7.) I talk in my sleep. I say weird things. I yell sometimes. I swear, too. One time, I screamed, “Get the fuck off my chair!” Maybe that is the only time I can be assertive, in my dreams. hee hee
Okay. That’s it. Seven weird things about moi. I’m supposed to tag 7 people but this is a tag free zone. They are too itchy! 
I’m totally in agreement with your Crime TV fascination, I’ll watch them for hours… and I too love to fall asleep to the “documentary voice”.
You don’t even like to go to the bathroom when you are at home?
Wow…you must have really dirty bathrooms at home.
Emily, get in there and clean the damn bathrooms. Sam, take out the trash.
I feel better now.
There’s something about Bill Kurtis’ voice that is so soothing! He could be talking about the most horrific crime, yet it lulls me.
Thank you for sharing
I eat ridiculous fast too. I don’t have any excuse though, I’m just a Hoover when it comes to food.
Jason scratches your back every night? Where can I get one of those?
I am going to ask a REALLY stupid question now. When people say that they were “tagged” for a meme or something, what exactly does that mean? I mean, I get trackback links from other people’s blogs, but I am assuming that is not what is meant…So what is it when someone tags you for a meme or something?
You need your back scratched? Maybe it’s from all the hairs that are sprouting up back there! @-)
I can not imagine not peeing. I hate peeing in public, but I do because nature calls!
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE true crime. I love watching TV, movies and reading books about it. I have no idea how anyone lives with out it!!!
I pee approximately every eight minutes so i cannot even comprehend number one.
I’m putting in my request for a Jason brand back scratcher as well – you do ship to Canada, dont you?
I am so totally with you on #5. In fact it is so bad at our house, my husband often says to me ” Can we please NOT watch murder and mayhem for tonight?” :d
I will be sure to show him this so he will know it’s not just me.
We have a lot in common:
* I too talk in my sleep and I also have night terrors.
* I too am addicted to crime shows, my new favorite is American Justice.
* I HATE HATE reality television in particular American Idol.
* I also eat really fast and Erik has to remind me sometimes. For me though, it’s because that’s how my family eats and it’s what I learned.
oh you are such a freak. That’s why I love thee so.
Fab–It’s more of a time issue. I don’t want to take the time. It’s not a cleanliness issue.
Veronika–I don’t know who that is, but I am in agreement with what you said.
Britt–I am in good company then!
Finn–He does almost every night. Sometimes I get Sam or Isabelle to do it. With my shirt on, of course. It isn’t quite as satisfying when they do it. lol
Abs–If I tag you for a meme, then you are supposed to do it on your blog (usually you credit the person who tagged you) and “tag” however many more people depending on what the meme calls for so that they do it on their blogs. Does that make any sense? There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. Hey! Did I just put myself down? lol
MM–Sometimes I think that’s really what it is! Or it’s the hairs that seem to neverendingly fall off my head that are getting inside my shirt and itching the hell out of me. Maybe I should cut my hair very short.
Muttprincess–I know! How does anyone live without it?! I would never be able to sleep.
Blue–No, I’m sorry. We don’t ship to Canada. Unless you want a Shelli, too, of course. Then it’s no problem.
I just don’t get the “tag” part. What does that mean? How do you know if you have been “tagged”?
Heather–I am so glad that I am not alone in the true crime. My hubby is a police officer, so he likes the shows as much as I do. He would rather watch hospital shows like Life in the ER or other medical reality shows. I like them too, but not as much as the crime shows. Weird that we prefer to watch the other’s professions’ types of shows. Did that make any sense?
Abs–Usually they will tell you on your blog. Sometimes I see a link back to my blog on my dashboard and check it out to find out that someone tagged me. It’s like “tag, your it”. Please feel free to ask me more questions if I am not explaining it right.
Robin–Maybe that’s how my family ate, too. I’m too old to remember. lol Night terrors, really? How does Erik get you out of them? Do they last a long time? My oldest daughter used to have them and they were quite scary for me. I don’t know if she has them anymore or not. You don’t have to answer here (or at all if you don’t want to), you can email me if you want.
Pup–I am, aren’t I?! I’m learning to love me, too.
They haven’t happened much in a while and I have no idea where they come from. Sometimes in the middle of sleep up jump out of bed screaming. Poor guy used to freak out but now he just tells me to go back to bed. It usually involves spiders that I think I see. Avitable gets them too.
I am the opposite about true crime. I watch/read about it and get really, really, really paranoid.
You should try reading some John Douglas. Fascinating stuff.
