Wild Earth Integration

I’ve been tagged by the lovely Debi of Go Explore Nature for the Honest Scrap Award!

My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to give you ten facts about myself that you might not know from reading my blog. Then, I tag 7 others and they tag 7 others… you get the point.

So, if you’re not new here, you know I can be prone to bouts of digression. So this is my kind of post.

Here we go, honest scrapping away!

• I could live off iced tea. Not the ‘real’ kind – the sugary kind that comes from a mix. I know this is wrong, so I try to save my waistline by watering it down hardcore.

• I met the guy of my dreams at a wedding (cheesy). He took me to a museum on our first date. Everybody thinks I’m short because of him, but really, he’s just oddly tall. (6’7”)

• I have seen Die Hard more times than I care to count. All of them. I will also watch any movie with Robert Downey Jr.

• I have a fear of heights, but love flying. I particularly love turbulence.

• I listen to music to help me get things done. When I’m writing or sculpting, Metallica, the Blues and showtunes are key. When I’m revising or editing, classical music. When I’m relaxing, I play the ukulele and sing. I wish I could play like this guy. I like having a soundtrack to my life.

• If I hear something, I can remember it and mimic it. Because of this, I’m prone to spouting movie lines during conversation, even if it’s with an accent. Sometimes, people don’t realize it. I also have a pretty good Sean Connery impression.

• I have a scar on my pointer finger from where a deer kicked me, one on my pinkie from a piranha bite (in a petstore of all things), one on my shoulder from a porcupine and a small strip of hair missing on my scalp from an unknown source. Luckily, you can’t see it.

• Years ago, I accidentally hit one of my very best friends in the head with a baseball bat. It was during University and we were celebrating exams being over by playing baseball with stale muffins in the dark (as one does) and she just …well, walked into it. I have a pretty good follow through too, so I was surprised when she started laughing and told me to “finish up with the muffins so we could get some ice”. I still have the bat. And I still have the friend.

• I’ve been hit by lightning. I don’t recommend it, unless you want to taste your own tongue.

• When I was younger, I worked as a waitress for one day. Some guy ordered a club sandwich, called me ‘sweetheart’ and tried to grabbed me on the derriere. I quit on the spot, got a job at an animal rehab clinic and worked with animals ever since.

There you have it!

So which cheeky monkeys shall I pass the torch to? I’m thinking:

• Mel from Your Wild Child
• Marghanita from Little Humbugs
• Roy from Camping Blogger
• Crystal from Rangerous
• Sarah from Sarah Cookson
• Steve from Steve Creek Photography
• Christel from Stellar Eats
  

I look forward to your posts, folks! Happy Friday and keep it wild!
