I don't know enough fellow bloggers to tag back, so I'm just going to tag as many as I know. Too bad...I'm sure some meteor will smash down on me for breaking the rules of this tag, but hey - I'm taking my chances.
Ok, ok...so stuff about me...let's see:
- After an amazing concert filled with middle-aged lunatics, I followed Neil Diamond to his hotel in downtown SLC. We weren't sure we had the right place until we saw the bell boys running around outside and the security guards getting everything ready at the elevators. A big bus arrived outside and one by one Neil's band filed out...And then I saw him...he had a hat on (the one that paper boys used to wear in the 1920's), big dark sunglasses (even though it was 10 at night) and he was smoking a big old stogy. My friend and I (who was also 21 at the time) started jumping up and down and crying and yelling "Neil! Neil! I LOVE YOU!!!". He couldn't keep his eyes off us (probably because we were the only women there under the age of 45) and pointed at us and said in his smoker, sexy raspy sort of way,"I love you too babe" and blew us a little kiss. The only thing that made it better was that the security guard that shielded us from Neil kept saying that he was going to "escort" us out if we got any closer...OH...and I ran into his bongo drummer after the hubub died down and he obliged me with a hug.
- I can do a cartwheel in a skirt without showing much skin...I learned that in Uruguay. Imagine an Uruguayo peering out his/her window and seeing this crazy gringa missionary doing cartwheels in a skirt...No wonder no one wanted to listen to me...
- I once dated the Utah State Yo-Yo Champion...a very black spot in my dating career.
- I can do excellent impressions of an Indian call, a gorilla call, a monkey call and my mother...not that she sounds like an Indian, gorilla or monkey.
- I used to clog when I was little and can still do the dance we did to "What A Feelin'" from Flashdance...though I think this version is much better than the one I danced to:
- I'm totally addicted to my husband...the poor guy can't use the bathroom without me poking my head in and saying "Whacha doin?" But isn't he so cute? It really makes me happy things didn't work out with the yo yo guy.
- I'm a daredevil - I've jumped off cliffs, traveled to Europe alone, water skied barefoot, I'll try any food or non food put in front of me - regardless of the color or smell...the one thing that freaks me out though is that moment before I get in front of an audience to sing...I become a mess and almost wet myself.

Have fun girls...and just do it - there's no getting around these things.

sorry, no touch-backs. i already did it. (on my 'help me' blog.)
No problem...I was just trying to appease my sister and look good for Cecily anyhow...I really don't care if you do it or not.
...and I didn't care if YOU did it or not. It was funny though. And it's true, you are a brat.
...but I love you anyway. ;-)
Oh you big baby! I for one am GLAD you did it because I needed to know that you dated a yo-yo...champ!
And Neil Diamond? Really? For reals? Jon can do an awesome impersonation of him, but he's not hairy enough and his picture would look funny in velvet. I'm glad you got hugged by a bongo drummer.
Bongos and yo-yos...Awesome.
Oh and by the way, we are SO going to dinner when you visit for the holidays. That is, as long as you aren't mad at me for mocking your love for Neil. I promise I'll be nice(r).

Yes I am a baby...I don't intend to deny that one bit - it comes with being the youngest girl...I'd love to go to dinner - you're paying right? ;-) I can't wait to see your face when you put that sushi in your mouth...in fact - I'd love to see your face period. I can't really make out what you look like in that photo of yours, though it is very artsy...
Oh Em-I know you don't love sushi, so you love to scare me about it. I am going to be brave though. I am, after all, a grown up.
If I make my millions by the time you visit, you BETCHA I'm so paying.
emily, please email me. I don't think your writing sucks, and I'd like to talk to you about writing for my new health site. I'm a well known science writer who is starting my own site at healthnutcentral.com and I need a couple zany fellow writers to jump on board. You can "google" me if you want to: Rebecca Sato. My email address is rebeccasato@gmail.com. Something led me to your blog and I don't believe in coincidence.
