Brent Wescott of Building Castles on the Beach tagged me for this fun little blogger's game a while ago and I'm (finally) making good. (I have a couple of awards to catch up on as well, but need to pace myself here, y'all. All will be done in time. God willing.)
Anyway.
The first part of the game is that I've gotta tell you 11 things about myself. (I'm sorry.)
- Whenever I'm asked, "What's your favorite (insert item)?" my mind always goes blank.
- The same applies when I'm asked to think up stuff about myself.
- As much as possible, I avoid watching the news on TV (because the real world is often le suck and I just can't handle it).
- Red's my favorite color.
- I love cold weather.
- Summertime depresses me (I have reverse SAD, I guess).
- Exerting myself (or even just standing around for too long) in the double whammy of high heat and humidity can cause me to faint. (That happened to me last Monday morning at my commuter train station.) (I was totally OK after I lied down for a bit, though I did miss my train.) (Wouldja believe a paramedic just happened to be in the station parking area and a bunch of my fellow commuters flagged him down to come check me out?) (New Yorkers are way nicer than we're given credit for being.)
- I can read or I can write; I can't seem to manage writing my stuff if I'm also reading someone else's.
- The only time I have any interest in sports is during the World Cup and I lose interest as soon as Portugal's out of the game.
- For a Sagittarian, I'm perversely travel-impaired in that I don't drive, can't ride a bike or swim, and hate flying.
- I must have an aura of helpfulness about me, as strangers on the street frequently stop me to ask me for directions and whatnot. (Why would anyone think I knew anything?)

The third part is tagging 11 other bloggers and the fourth bit is posing 11 questions for them to answer. (::sighs:: Wow, this is WAY more work than my lazy arse is accustomed to doing, I'll tell you what.)

- All you really need is...?
- What is your favorite Duran Duran song? ("I don't have one," or "I love them all," are unacceptable answers.)
