Leave Your Sanity With the Nearest Customs Agent

Eight random things

So Sandie (Stash n Stitch) tagged me!
But first: The rules!

1: Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.

2: People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these
rules.

3: At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.

4: Don't forget to leave them a comment and tell them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

Here are eight random things about me; strange, weird, and useless facts.

1. With all my traveling I have only seen 12% of the countries in the world. I plan on increasing that number, don't worry. I want to go to South America, Africa, and it is a dream of mine to visit one of the poles. ( I always forget which one though)

2. I don't like touching hair that isn't attached to my head. I can't stand cleaning my hairbrush out even. I have been like this since I was a child.

3. Everything I learned about knitting was from a book or the internet. So I am sure that I have done some unconventional things while knitting and everything I knit is a learning experience. Especially when I have a design in my head and am trying to get it into a knitted garment.

4. I have a love/hate relationship with lace. I love the way it looks but I hate knitting it. Lace projects have been known to sit in the corner for months before I decide whether to finish them or rip them. 

5. I despise seaming a knitting article. Anything I knit. I will spend hours working on numbers and math to figure out how to knit something in the round instead of having to worry about seaming it. But since I started crocheting my seams, I am more open to things not knit in the round.

6. In the past 4 years and 28 days, I have spent a grand total of 54 days in the United States. And I will be leaving again in late August/Early September to go to England. I will be spending a year there to get my Master's degree. 

7. As much as I love getting emails, blog comments, and snail mail-I am horrible at reciprocating. The worst I tell you. And there are so many interesting and cool people I keep meaning to leave comments for and get busy and forget until too late in the day.

8. I don't eat watermelon anything. Don't even like watermelon flavored lip gloss. While my mother was pregnant with one of my sisters, she wanted watermelon so we all ate watermelon. I haven't eaten watermelon since then and that sister is now 22 years old. 

I don't know who to tag, so it is up for grabs by anyone. But I want to say Thanks to Sandie for including me in this one. my first one. Yeah!!!
