I share your nocturnal proclivities and also have read some dictionaries. But then we diverge…

Thanks, I look forward to your tags!

This is the first time anyone tags me! Thank you for the new experience.

Here I submit 7 of my strange but true facts:

· I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, get up, get very productive for a couple of hours, do a million things, and go back to sleep later, happy with my accomplishments.

· I enjoy, really enjoy, reading dictionaries. And looking up every single word I’m not 100% sure of its meaning… in any language.

· While in Germany for working reasons, in 1990, I had to travel by truck from Frankfurt to Hamburg –4 hours. I didn’t know a word of German. But I spoke with the driver all the way looking up the main words. As we were in Autumn, I looked up and said: “tree, red, beautiful” and he answered “Oh, yes…. bla, bla, bla”. Of course, I took up German at my return.

· I fold my tongue in a way that apparently only 1 person in 3,000 do. I fold the tip and take the tongue out with the tip folded as a paper. Quite disgusting to see, in fact.

· When I was 20 years old, I used to work in a forwarding agent. My sense of responsibility made me go to the seaport while containers were being loaded, to check how seaport men did the job and gave them instructions when I thought were necessary. A 20-year-old girl giving instructions to seaport workers… I wouldn’t do that now for a million dollars. Well… maybe I’m exaggerating but at least, I’d think about it twice.

· I once wanted to try the experience of paying for sex. The man didn’t accept charging me and sent me roses the following day! A real shame & I still can’t tell my grandchildren I paid for sex once.

· When I was interviewed for a job in 2005, at a very elegant office, and was asked why I became a secretary, I answered the truth: because I wanted to be a drummer. As a consequence of getting home super late at the age of 15, my mother enrolled me in a secretarial course. And I got the job! because the interviewer and potential boss was a drummer himself!

I think you expect me to tag 5 people now… but give me some time to do that.

Maria, I never said I was not afraid of rattlesnakes, I am not stupid, really! I just use a different approach to dealing with them.

Gia, Ummm, well, no wrench in the washing machine, but all the rest are still here.

I will say that the big kitty, Bridger, is not fat. He is half Maine Coon and half Himalayan Persian and has great long hair, tufted ears and feet, with huge yellow eyes. He is just plain big!

For those who are interested, I did add a little more detail about my very flexible toes in the comment section of my post :O
