Glittrgirl tagged me for this meme the other day and who am I to say no?

Here are the rules:
Link to the person who tagged you.
Mention the rules.
Tell six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about yourself.
Tag six other bloggers by linking to them.
Go to each person's blog and leave a comment that let's them know they've been tagged.

If you go to Glittrgirl's meme, you'll see she ruthlessly stole two of my boring yet quirky facts (her numbers 4 and 6 -- damn you, Glittrgirl!). So I'm left with these:

1) Without 'to do' lists, I am nothing -- as evidenced by the weeks I pretend I can get by without them and wind up just about managing to scrub my ears and that's it.

2) Even though I bake with spices and cook with spices, I think they might secretly make me ill (cinnamon and nutmeg, I'm looking at you) -- I always get raspy throat when I eat the result.

3) I think non-sulfited apricots are the BOMB, particularly in porridge.

4) Occasionally Yeti will begin to yawn and sort of forget halfway through and just sit there, all sleepy-face, with her mouth hanging open and it cracks. me. up. every time without fail.

5) Mind you, when she does yawn, sometimes I'll stick my finger between her jaws as she's closing her mouth just to see her reaction (usually indignant, sometimes disgusted). It's how I show her I love her.

6) For me, one of the most compelling things about America's Next Top Model is how similar the experience of living in the house is to the first year of residence at uni. I think that might be why people like these cloistered reality TV shows -- it shows them that all the stupid overreactions you had to someone using your Marmite are really quite normal.

I tag: indieknits, Walter Knitty, Time for Elevenses, greenpea-greenpea, brokeknits, and Jesh.

As a 7), this food standards page from the UK government is hilarious. Honestly, half of it is so commonsensical it makes you wonder  a. if anyone actually reads this shit other than people like me who find the need for it (as it stands) completely perplexing, b. if the person who wrote it took it seriously or was giggling at perceived public stupidity the whole time and c. if the perception of public stupidity has a foundation in reality, because if it does we are in trouble.

OMG - does fruit in jelly count as fruit? I couldn't read to the end, but I couldn't tear my eyes away either. And is it just me, or does the yellow-on-black-background make you more bilious than a brussels sprout??

And the second most compelling thing about ANTM is just how much more crazy TyTy can get as each week goes by!

My first tag! Thanks, Emmms.
