From Allergic Girl - thanks for the tag!
Rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share seven random and/or weird things about yourself.
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post and include links to their blog.
4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
So, without further adieu, seven weird/random things about me:
1. I can only eat organic apples and pears. Otherwise my teeth and throat start itching.
2. I can't stand Woody Allen. He may be the most annoying person to have ever lived (or made a movie). Somehow I was able to get through Annie Hall. Though I did want to kill him.
3. I find cooking, particularly grilling, very relaxing.
4. I couldn't tell you the last day I went without a glass of wine.
5. I used to highlight my hair blonde, a la Britney Spears in Slave 4 U. Can you see it?
6. My eyes are actually dark green, if you look very close. I swear!
7. I'm not a klutz- reflexes of a cat- but I'm always bumping into things.
Here's who I'm tagging:
Jamie at Farm Fresh Meat
Capitol Hill
I-66
Kalyn at Kalyn's Kitchen
Food Rockz Man
You're it!

I can't stand Woody Allen either. He's sooooooo whiny that I just want to punch him in the face every time I hear his voice. If I saw him in person, I wouldn't do it though. Only because I know he would shut up about it.
No you didn't tag me! When Striker becomes dangerous enough to attack, you're definitely gonna get it.
uh... by the way? can you pull my name out of there please?
Been barely keeping up with regular meals this week. I will try to come up with this list from New Orleans after my 6th hurricane tonight.
7 Things. Hmm.
1. It's spelled ado, not adieu. Common mistake, though. People who know French and/or Shakespeare are the only ones who really have no business making this mistake.
2. Teeth can't itch. They can get cold, they can get hot, they can ache. But they can't itch.
3. The organic reasoning sounds like the result of something hypochondriacal or like a pretentious complaint.
4. Woody Allen is a brilliant writer, and he's been showered with (much deserved) awards and world adoration. His personality and demeanor may be not everyone's cup of tea. But to say one sat through Annie Hall uncomfortably and (worse) compelled to kill, well, that's a strange, personal problem that has nothing to do with the beautiful writing and natural, true performances (both awarded as well, and deservedly so) on screen. Perhaps anger management would be in order? Either that or don't visit New York. You'd hate it there (or at least many, many of its inhabitants) based solely on the context and tone of the Woody Allen thing.
6. The wine thing is normal, but let's hope it's not excessive. Would hate to see a serial drinker accidentally come across a Woody Allen movie and then go postal worker on everybody.
7. As I type this, I've discovered that I have, in fact, stopped caring. Amusing blog you've got here, though. I happened upon it through the million or so degrees of blogger separation.
1. Oops, I do speak French. Fluently.
2-3. Apologies again, it's my gums/throat. And it's not pretentious- I actually have severe allergies to other things.
7. Then shut up and go away!
Oh! and I'm from NY too! watch out for me Diane!
Then why'd you type "without further 'goodbye'" if you speak French fluently? That doesn't make much sense. No matter.
You're FROM New York? Yikes. Don't tell other New Yorkers that! They may ostracize! Nobody messes with the Carnegie Deli, The Mets, Sex and the City, and their directors (Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen). Even New Yorkers aren't allowed to make those gaffes. My guess is Long Island, which, suffice to say, is not New York. If you're a Manhattanite, then a thousand apologies. But I'm dubious.
Sorry to hear about the allergies, though.
Lol!! I am late in the game for this one, but Brett, you should be honored to have an actual troll on your blog. And what a great troll: one who's well spoken enough to be worth responding to, and pretentious enough to be able to have fun with it!
I can't resist making a couple of observations, Diane:
1) You do not speak for all New Yorkers, nor do you make rules about what gaffes they are "allowed" to make. The ones I know are, for the most part, able to form their own opinions on things and do not, for example, shop only at Zabar's because they are told to do so by other New Yorkers. Brett's already a better representative than you are. You should try thinking for yourself.
And Zabar's coffee sucks.
2) I also find Woody Allen entirely annoying. I don't care what you think. It doesn't matter what you think. Even if I say that I find Gandhi annoying, nothing you can say can make me wrong. It's an opinion. There is no "fact" when it comes to preference.
3) I don't think she actually intended to kill Woody Allen after seeing Annie Hall. It's called an exaggeration, a mechanism sometimes used to emphasize a point in writing.
4) It may technically be legal to marry your stepdaughter, but if you really want to discuss strange, personal problems, I'd say your award-winning, world-adored director is top of the list.
5) What's a serial drinker?
6) Where's your blog? Drive-bys are for gangsters, not bloggers.
Ok, that was fun. Please stop by again!!
