I've been tagged by Sherrie. This means that I have to now write 6 weird things about myself. I'm supposed to pass it on, but Sherrie is my main blogger friend and she's already done it! So...I guess I'll attack myspace, and catch Hans, Emily, and Susan. It's just three, but it's all I have! By the way, if any of you want to hear some great tunes by a talented artist/musician, click on Susan's name and enjoy!

Here are the Rules: Each player of this game starts with the six weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

So, 6 Things that are weird about me...

1. When I was a kid I had a speech impediment. I couldn't say Rs or Ls very well until I was about 11 or 12. This meant that I couldn't say my own name properly. When asked by a friend once why I talked like that, I informed them that the reason they couldn't understand what I was saying was because I was speaking both english and french AT THE SAME TIME.

2. I can't lie. I can only lie by omission or half-truths. This wasn't always the case, when I was a child, I lied frequently and was very proud that I could do it while staring people directly in the eye. These days if I'm asked a direct question, I have to answer truthfully. If I try to lie, it's so obvious that no one falls for it.

3. Occasionally, I can foretell the future in my dreams. I've done it at least twice anyway. I have dreamt of some information and then watched it play out in reality just a few days later. It's no a coincidence either, as I have also predicted the names of people I hadn't met yet.

4. People joke that I'm indecisive. I like to have a lot of information before I make even a very small decision. That being said, for major life decisions, I usually don't think about them at all. I usually just go with my gut. Hey, let's move to Montreal even though I don't speak french!

5. I have tried and failed to learn french about three times (not including the years in elementary school where I had to take it, but didn't try very hard to learn). In comparison, I could pronounce German words perfectly long before I could even pronounce English words.

6. I can't clean while people are looking at me. I can mop up small spills and I can vacuum, but that's all I can do while people are around. If the kitchen or the bathroom needs cleaning, I need to be completely alone.
