Honest Scrap

Wow. Thanks, again, to little augury for thinking of us (and reading us.) The rules for this award are:
share 10 random facts about yourself and tap seven fellow bloggers in return.

About me...

1.

I am addicted to Tab.

2.

My IQ is 175; ironically, my income is $175.

3.

I have a collection of stuffed Tiggers. Many of them bounce.


4.

I once waited at a stage door to meet Vanessa Redgrave. She is remarkably tall and was very gracious.

5.

I am the seventh “Lucinda” in my family going back to the Civil War.

6.

The only Olympic sport I watch is fencing.

7.

I don’t always wear underwear, but I ALWAYS carry a “hankie”.

8.

In 6th grade, my favorite author was Andre Malraux. (Today, all my friends tell me that if they had gone to school with me as a child, I would have spent most of my time stuffed in a locker.) Later in life I found out Malraux was a bit of a sexist and I was bummed.




9.

My favorite fashion designer of all time is Elsa Schiaparellii. My mother had an old bottle of ”Shocking” with the perfume long evaporated. My mother was always dressed to the nines. On most days I am dressed to the twos.

10.

I am left-handed and dyslexic, therefore I spell like a demented and drunken Elizabethan typesetter. Those squiggly “PASSWORD” letters on comment pages are a disaster.

2. Stuttering and dyslexia occur more often in left-handers. (See # 3 again)

3. 4 of the 5 original designers of the Macintosh computer were left-handed. I was not one of them. (See # 3 one more time.)

4. Left-handers excel at fencing. (See # 6)
