I have arrived--Tagged!

I have truly arrived in the blogging community: I have been formally tagged!

Linda tagged me to reveal 7 things about myself:

1) I was captain of the Math Team of my high school. You heard me. Captain. In fact, I received a varsity letter for it.

2) I was absolutely dateless in high school. Did I just hear the hugest collective gasp? I know, that looker on the ID card who loved to wear rummage sale clothes (though that unisex number in picture might have been a mall purchase) and lettered for the Math Team?

Is this kind of like when Nathan Lane officially came out a few years ago--what, he's gay in real life?!

3. One of my favorite flavors: baby aspirin. Yum-O.

4. Another one of my favorites: butter

5. You know how Liberace was known for his glittery capes? 50 Cent for his grill? Me--it's the hoop earrings, specifically the thin, silverish, 2-inch hoops. Or maybe my Fluevog shoes.

6. I was once a member of the Teamsters union. I worked for UPS during my junior year of college. I won't bother getting into too many details now but I worked the "sunrise shift" (4am-9am) Monday through Friday loading those brown trucks. Being a night owl as most college students are, I barely got any sleep. Surprise! I got my worst college grades that year.

7. I just tried Yogurtland today. It's a self-serve frozen yogurt bar where you can choose from about 10-12 flavors, especially extra tart ones, and top it with various toppings. And then you pay by weight. I could've sworn these were around when I was a teenager. (Are roller rinks coming back too? Is the NBA going to be wearing those short shorts again soon?) It was definitely good--I had the sugar-free blueberry yogurt topped with fresh strawberries and mochi balls. Though Paul was right, I do feel a little guilty for all those castrated mochis.

There you have it, 7 revealing facts about me. Fascinating, I know. Now to tag much more interesting people than me (I'm supposed to do 5 but I only know 3 other bloggers): Jamie, Cheryl, and Susan.

I was also tagged by Cheryl with this:

This is a way to honor a fellow blogger to acknowledge that their blog has made their day. I'm totally flattered by Cheryl's inclusion of me and I hope the post she read that day wasn't too ranty. Here are 10 blogs that make my day (in addition to ones tagged above):
