I’ve actually been tagged by Melinda to share seven weird things about me.  As I read “weird” to mean “interesting,” this is a bit daunting.  Here goes.

* Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
* Tag 7 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.

1 – I’ve moved 33 times in my life.  The somewhat interesting part about that is that I lived in one house for nine years, which means that I’ve averaged more than a move per year each and every year that I didn’t live in that house. No wonder I worry about putting down roots for my child(ren).

2 – I’m partially deaf in one ear.  When I was in college at the University of Oklahoma, I was on the sideline of a football game when a “roughneck” (creepy spirit squad) shot off a gun next to me for no particular reason (they shoot these guns at the end of a quarter or perhaps when someone scores) and perforated my eardrum.

3 – I usually forget which ear is impaired.  I just assume I’m hard of hearing generally.

4 – My eyes turn different colors depending on my mood and what I’m wearing.  They range from a very light grey-blue to a much darker green.

5 – I’m incapable of multi-tasking if I’m in a room where the tv is on unless the sound is muted.  I’ve never understood this.

6 – I refuse to dive head-first into water.  

7 – Driving a manual car sends me into actual panic attacks (with the shaking, sweaty hands, difficulty breathing, etc.).  The fear was so bad that I had to buy another car when I had six months left on the lease of my Saab convertible.

So, here are seven people I’d like to know a little more about, if they’re so inclined . . .
