The challenge:

• link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
• share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
• tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
• let them know they are TAGGED by leaving a comment on their blog.

Rudi knows I’m a bit weird, and I’m sure that’s why he tagged me. That or he knew I was sucker enough to come up with answers.

Oddly enough:

1. I do not like bananas or banana-flavored candy, although I like banana bread.
2. I can doze off while holding a full cup of tea and not spill any of it.
3. I keep an emergency box of Samoas in the freezer in case of a Very Bad Day. Luckily, since I stopped doing media relations, I haven’t had to dip into it. Samoas are this teetotaler’s version of a good stiff drink.
4. I own a snuggly green sweater that I stole from my brother who stole it from his best friend back in high school who stole it from his older sister.
5. As a child I managed one day to become covered head to foot by a swarm of ants. As such, ants only get one warning in my unfair system of which bugs survive in my house. Seeing multiple ants inside can utterly cause me to freak out.

I like to alter rules to fit my needs (it’s a good thing I’m not a politician!), so I’m not going to tag anyone specifically. If you have a blog and want to play along, then you’re it. If you lack a blog and want to have a go at this meme, please leave your random facts in the comments.
