I was tagged by various people (Melissa, Yos, Lisa, possible others), to do that meme where you list seven weird/random things about yourself. Well, I was going to do it, but then decided not to because I already did a similar meme before where I listed six weird things about me, but now I’ve decided to give it a go. I’m not going to elaboate too much on these things since I’m pretty tired right now. I thought I needed to at least blog about something!

1. I pronounce the word “pillow” as “pellow” like pell and oh. I always have. My mom and dad tease me about it. *hugs her pellow*

2. Sometimes I really like to moan, whine, wimper, etc. especially when I am bored, frustrated, on my period, etc. It makes me feel good.

3. I love Richard Simmons. I think he’s wonderful. I actually recently bought the boxed set of the Sweatin’ to the Oldies on DVD. I will probably be blogging about Richard Simmons sometime in the near future.

4. For the first 10 or so years of my life, cheese was pretty much the only thing I would eat. I love cheese.

5. I voted for John Kerry, NOT George Bush. (And I would have voted for Al Gore if I had been old enough to vote in that election.)

6. I have a scar on my chin from busting my chin open when I was practically a baby. Whenever I get really sick and have coughing attacks, my chin itches like crazy where my scar is. It’s quite annoying. When I was younger, I would try to pick my scar off like it was a scab.

7. People frequently mess my name up. Four Ashleys work at my school, so sometimes I am “Ashley” and sometimes I am “Ashlee.” Don’t even get me started on my last name. This one kid cannot pronounce my last name. She calls me “Mrs. Muh-Ga-Gee.” It drives me insane.

So there you go. Nothing too extraordinary there. Colin left yesterday morning and will be gone until Wednesday night. He’s off at some thing in Dayton, Ohio, so it’s just me and Pouncy. Us girls are sticking together and hanging in there, but we really miss our husband/daddy.

I have been tagged by Tracy to answer this meme that’s been going around. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone tagged me. Here’s the task:

List five vices you have, with a description if you want to.
Tag five bloggers for this meme.
Link back to the blogger who tagged you, and this post if you want to be nice!

1. Craft Materials
I am obsessed with crafts and craft supplies/materials. I buy everything from felt to buttons, beads to scrapbook stickers, various glues to polymer clay, etc. You name it, I probably have some of it somewhere. I love trying out new arts and crafts projects, and as a result, areas of my apartment look like a craft store.

2. Bloody Horror Movies
I love gore. The more bloody and disturbing a movie - the better. I really dig movies where people’s limbs get hacked off and their flesh melts and cannibals eat people. It’s so gross and disgusting, but for some reason I really love it all.

3. McDonald’s
I love McDonald’s. I’ve seen Fast Food Nation and Super Size Me, and I just don’t care. I love the taste of McDonald’s. Their French fries are by far the best fast food French fries out there. I love cheeseburgers, McChicken’s, and McNuggets. Mmm… I eat there at least once a week. I’m bad. Whatever! You only live once so you might as well eat what you enjoy!

4. Sanrio Products
I love all cute things, and what is cuter than Sanrio products? Every time I go down to Nashville, I have to go to the Opry Mills Mall to the Sanrio store and spend forever staring at all of the cuteness for sale. I usually end up buying a big bag of stuff that I almost hate to use because it’s so darn cute to look at!

5. Rainbows
I love rainbows. Duh. If I can get something in different colors or multicolors, I usually will. If everything in my life could be rainbow colored, I think I would just go around sighing all day at the beauty of it all. :happy: I don’t like bland, dark, or dreary.

I’m not going to tag anyone because I think most of the people I know have already done this. If you haven’t done this yet though and you want to, go for it! Let me know, and I’ll come read your list.
