I hate being “it”.
Unless it’s hide and seek. I liked being “it” in hide and seek. Not because I was exceptionally stealth at discovering an unsuspecting victim, but because when I was the one who had to hide, I would almost always wet my pants. And by almost always I mean EVERY TIME! I don’t know if it’s just nerves or excitement, but as a kid, 9 times out of 10 when we would play hide and seek with the neighborhood kids, I would have to find time to sneak home and change my pants because of another accident. That 1 other time out of ten, my little “accident” wouldn’t be big enough to warrant a trip home. Gross I know, but some of you probably ate dirt as kids so don’t even judge me.
Seriously, stop looking at me like that, it was kind of traumatic. To this day I don’t enjoy hide and seek, unless I’m “it”. I have this fear that if I’m hiding, my childlike reflexes will take over and I don’t always carry an extra pair of pants with me. Oh the shame!
We’ll I’m “it” again because I’ve been tagged by 2 friends on the same day. (shout out to Nicoley-face and Shara)
Unfortunately these were different tags so one post doesn’t fit all. I’ve decided to make up my own response and since I don’t have very many secrets left, (hello! I just told you I wet my pants as a kid!), I’m going to follow in my friend Sheree’s blogsteps (like footsteps only virtual and stiletto) and write a tag about someone else.
I picked her because it’s Halloween season.
1. Random fact about me from 10 years ago: I was giving flying lessons to that kid Harry Potter. It’s embarrassing I know, but I was out of a job and I needed some quick cash. Believe me if I’d have known how famous and popular that warlock was going to become I would’ve charged him more. Who knew that 21st Century brats would actually like this magic stuff? Back in my day they just ran away screaming. I always knew I was born in the wrong century.
2. Random item on my to-do list today: Scoop my cat Blackie’s litter box. That Fresh Step stuff is definitely not fresh! Enough said.
3. Random snack I enjoy: Fish eyes, I never leave home without them. It sound’s a little out there, but you really just need to try them. They’re the perfect size and so filling. Also very low in calories, I’m trying to watch my weight since I got my new broom and realized they just don’t make ‘em as sturdy as they used to.
4. Random thing I would do if I were a millionaire: Find Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeon and get a skin color change. What? You think I like being green? Heck no, yellow is totally this year’s green!
5. Random place I’ve lived: The Eiffel Tower. Not the one in Paris, but the replica on the Vegas strip. Well wouldn’t you if you could fly? The people-watching is so much more exciting there, plus my French is really rusty.
6. Random job I’ve had: I was a credit card customer service rep. Until one day someone called in and said I sounded like a green witch. It must have been Cleo, she’s the only one I know who can tell skin color by the voice. Plus I had just called her earlier that day to get my future read and I told her I was a green witch. You just can’t trust those psychics!
I hope you enjoyed a little insight into the Wicked Witch of the West. I was a little surprised myself by some of her responses. Fish eyes! Yuck! If you’re wondering how I was able to get her to respond to my questions you should probably know that we’re old friends. In fact, here’s a picture of us on Halloween last year!
Now for my turn to tag people. I have no clue if these people read my blog, but I’m choosing to tag: Val Kilmer, Barak Obama, John McCain (just to be fair), Nicole Kidman, and President Monson. YOU’RE IT!
