One of my fave Buddhablogs, Precious Metal has tagged yours truly. Seeing as it is the giving season and I’ve already enjoyed some taggy goodness with the Top 5 Dharma Books meme that I’ve floated around out there, now’s the best time for me to respond and ‘pay it forward’

Here are the 7 random or weird things about TMcG..

1. I was obsessed with horror comics as a youngster. I can vividly remember buying them as a daily ritual at the Green Gables convenience store near my elementary school at lunch along with a greasy bag of seasoned potato wedges to sustain me. Both the horror comics and the potato wedge confession I have just shared with you would shock my mother should she have found out about either. She wouldn’t be too happy about my Cream Soda+Orange Crush+ Mountain Dew = slushie swampwater addiction either.

2. I hate dolls. Plastic dolls agitate me.

3. I sometimes buy clothing that is so out of character – usually in some kind of Space Oddity/Bowie meets Jimi Hendrix kind of mashup which is so beyond what I usually am seen in. As intrigued as I have always been with clothing, I think my cool rocker auntie had influenced me at a young age to be fascinated by leather pants, suede fringed jackets, press on nails, blue eyeshadow and flowing peasant shirts. I’m thankful for good friends who redirect me.

4. I love the way my dog’s ears smell. It’s gross. They are no doubt sweaty, mite-ridden, full of parasites but they are like little velvet pieces of puggy puppy heaven to me.

5. I’m not sure of what I’m doing. I may look like I am sure but really… I’m not sure at all.
***This is the most random, but honest factoid on this list. The rest are just pretty darn weird.

6. I often dream of water. Being submerged. Struggling.Drowning. Dying
***This is second in randomness, but might give you some Freudian insights into me so it could get weird.

7. I have Angelina Jolie-itis in that I want to adopt all of the little children of the world. This is where our similarities end – aside from that one time I had a groady lip infection and my lower lip was swollen beyond recognition.
