Given that every time somebody tags people on a meme, but not me, I think to myself “aw, nobody ever tags me,” I figure I better heed sewcute’s command to do this one!

The official meme: Once you have been tagged, you have to write a post with 8 facts/things/habits about yourself and say who tagged you. In the end, you will need to choose the 6 people you tag and list their names. No tag backs.

1. I love watching the soap wash off my body in the shower. I don’t know what it is about this literal cleansing - washing away - process appeals to me, but I like it.
2. I can’t imagine vacationing in a place more than once - there are so many places in the world I want to visit, that I don’t expect to ever have the money to return to them. That said, I have been to Montreal and Niagara Falls (Canadian side) twice, and I will be going to Alaska next year for the second time.
3. If I am not actively interpreting at work, I am sleepy. This means I am sleepy for most of the workday, often regardless of caffeine intake.
4. My favorite type of gum is Orbit Bubblemint. It lasts a long time, it blows pretty good bubbles, and the taste is unique - not quite like regular pink gum, but only slightly minty. Surprisingly, other Orbit flavors - Sweetmint, Cinnamint, etc. - do not blow such good bubbles. Isn’t it all bubble gum regardless of flavor?
5. Sometimes I think I am too nice online, and I should call out more people who deserve to be called out for whining, being bitchy and haughty, etc. But I am so afraid of people disliking me that I just keep my mouth shut. (Note: if you’re reading this, I’m almost definitely not talking about you.)
6. I am such a bad cook that I don’t even bother. Virtually everything I eat is pre-made, even my Diet to Go food, although that is at least fresh. I can make cookies, but that’s about it. I guess if I tried a little harder I might become a better cook, but it doesn’t interest me.
7. I used to do crochet and cross-stitch, but I haven’t picked either up in a very long time - probably at least a year.
8. My favorite candy bar is Reese’s Nutrageous, or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup if that counts. I also like that new “Take Five” candy bar, and the peanut butter Twix. Unfortunately these are all high in fat, so if I am being bad and getting candy at all I get Twizzlers or York patties, or if I’m being really bad I get Three Musketeers. I miss eating candy regularly - can I have my college metabolism again please?
9. Added - bonus #9: I really hate when I cannot remember stuff within minutes of thinking of it. Sometimes I forget what I was saying while I’m in the middle of saying it. I just completely lose it - and it hasn’t been replaced by anything else, I’ve just forgotten. I also meant to post something after I was done with this post, and I can’t remember what it was. Dammit!

And I am tagging the following people, who are under no obligation to actually answer this meme.

1. Halsted
2. eudyptes
3. curvedmetal
4. Nina
5. zaph
6. plantyhamchuk
