fun to be tagged

, ,

yes it is fun to be tagged... but i hate to tag people. but i will, it's just a hang-up considering what other people might think or feel. if i tag someone who doesn't want to do it. that's not my problem is it?

First, the rules.
Link to the person that tagged you.
Post the rules on your blog.
Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

1. i like artichokes. i'm having one right now with a baked potato. i am dipping the leaves in drawn butter and lime juice. i don't know why i like food that requires work to eat. like getting the meat out of crab and lobster claws...

2. i don't like drinking water at all; never have. but living in los angeles where it is like zero humidity, i force myself to drink at least a few glasses a day when i can remember. because i particularly do not enjoy the symptoms of dehydration.

3. this may not be unimportant but it's true. i love people.

4. i don't like living alone but i do it well. betcha didn't know that.

5. i never read newspapers and didn't watch the news until recently. i think i am trying to figure out what is wrong with the world. it is in a sorry state. that's just my opinion.

6. secretly, i think if i were elected king of the earth, i could straighten things out. more on what i would do elsewhere.

pheew... that wasn't so bad. now, the hard part. who to pick that won't mind and will do as i did.


I’m tagging the following bloggers:
rocio

naomi

leonard

barbara

marcus

bill

apparently the hyperlink button doesn't work as it is supposed to ... but i guess this will do.




it turns out that the potato with grated cheddar cheese, butter, sour cream and scallion rounds won my heart more than the heart of the artichoke. good meal.

People are the best part of nature.

Sometimes, they are also the worst.

sometimes... yes.

it's the last test of real patience.... bearing the manifestations of others.

By I_ArtMan, # 26. January 2008, 05:12:25

LMAO. And a great test of self-knowledge to know that you try the patience of others.

yep, if we could only get a glimpse of how others see us...
it would be a gigantic shock.
and i can't pretend i don't care.

Quoting a famous man, "You wouldn't worry about what others think of you if you knew how rarely they did." Thank heavens!

Yes, it's definately better to not know what others think of us. People that have bad thoughts toward us may very well feel the same about everyone. My mother used to say that some people are so miserable inside, they can't help but allow it to ooze out now and again.

If we didn't care, our perceptions of ourselves probably wouldn't be so different from the perceptions of others (and often so warped).

sounds like george bernard shaw.

Very interesting and yummy. :lol:

Yum, I'm after that potato!!!:eyes:

Thanks Scott, I'm headed for the kitchen...(my favorite room)

don't forget to grate a little sharp cheddar cheese and put it back in the oven for five more minutes.... hmmm ambrosia.

By I_ArtMan, # 29. January 2008, 17:49:48

Potato sounds delicious - but I am having soup for lunch. :frown:

boy, I got tagged too, still working on mine... :eyes: p:

Taggingis fun the first time, but it sure gets out of hand in a hurry!

By noah counte, # 29. January 2008, 22:18:53

luckily we are free to let it go. i guess i succumb about twice a year. the truth is it can be very interesting to see what people pick to say. but the tedium and tired eyes doing the rest of the chores is unbearable.

By I_ArtMan, # 30. January 2008, 00:20:44

avatar
Well, this one is still going around, so it's bound to be back. :lol:

It was interesting to see what people will say. I've learned a great deal about people, some of it funny, some of it touching. I'm still a great deal more comfortale being tagged than I am tagging, though.

By noah counte, # 30. January 2008, 00:51:30

me too.

*pops in w/Cali Clown Posse and whacks Scott with drive by Boston creme pie*

By avl_wamp, # 30. January 2008, 16:33:45

avatar
surprised but not dismayed, I_ArtMan collects some of the pie and puts it aside to savor at a more opportune moment.... then turns the other cheek, hoping, we suppose, from the eager look on his happy face, for a lemon meringue onslaught.

By I_ArtMan, # 30. January 2008, 19:22:00

Lemon merengue. Now that's a pie for which I'd stand still. Now my stomach is growling.

By noah counte, # 30. January 2008, 19:26:38

avatar
just cause I don't wanna play tag, don't mean I won't drop by and give ya a good cyber-wedgie, You know we love ya bro... :devil: :lol:

By avl_wamp, # 30. January 2008, 20:48:28

i know leonard, and you have my attention. i appreciate you looking in on me. holy mackeral.

matthew, i take it that you are starving yourself. good luck. don't overdo it... slow and steady wins the race. or something.

By I_ArtMan, # 31. January 2008, 00:39:21

avatar
I am not starving myself - my stomach responds to the mere mention of lemon merengue in a pavlovian way.

By noah counte, # 31. January 2008, 01:01:55

avatar
i see.
eating is indeed one of the few real pleasures isn't it?

By I_ArtMan, # 31. January 2008, 01:18:21

avatar
Taste, perhaps. Good question. I'll have to think about that!

By noah counte, # 31. January 2008, 01:26:49

Great list Scott,
Your dinner looks fresh, healthy and comforting. Liking food that is hard to get in to? Maybe it is the hunter gatherer in you?
:heart:

sarah,
i think you may be right about that. it does feel like instinct.
another example is sunflower seeds... gotta husk each one and the reward is small. or pistachios... love pistachio nuts. i'm more of a gourmet than a gourmand also. thanks for commenting.
