I got tagged by the wonderful Southern Fried Mom at Grits With Cheese with the 5 Things Meme. I really don't think I'm very interesting and I share most of my experiences so it's hard to think of things that people might not know about me. Here goes nothing:
Five Things You Might Not Know About Me
1. I can't stand the thought of eating undercooked food. For example, runny or soft eggs makes me ill (even cheese on eggs because it makes them look shiny like they aren't completely cooked), meat MUST be well done with no pink, and pastries/breads can't be too doughy in the middle or I think they aren't completely done and will throw it away.
2. Even though I'm generally a bumbling idiot, I don't get tongue-tied and freaked out when meeting celebrities/high-ranking officials. They are a person just like you and me so I chat with them like I would meeting just about anyone else. I might not have much to say to them but I'm certainly not gushing like a pre-teen onMTV.
3. Even though I just graduated college in 2003, my college years are a blur (and not from drinking or drugs or anything). My memory is that bad.
4. If I ever found a genie in a bottle, I have 2 of my 3 wishes already prepared and they are completely selfish.
5. I was a political science major, worked in politics, yet I don't keep up on international events beyond reading the headlines on newspaper websites or just what I hear on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Since moving to Illinois, I only know a handful of my representatives and still care more about the politics in Iowa than here.

You didn't mention that you spy on the city with binoculars out your office window. Now THAT is exciting! :P
Oh, number one...I feel your pain. If the chicken isn't burnt I'm not eating it.
So what are your wishes?
I so totally agree with you regarding celebs and similar. I lived in Norway for a very long time where celebs are treated in the same way as everybody else - even the kind used to walk around Oslo and take the bus! Why some countries idolise people just because they can sing/play football/act etc is a mystery to me.
Thanks for taking part in the MeMe :-)
Oopps... that makes no sense. It should have read "...even the KING walks..."
I like this post.
I also like my cow still mooing and my eggs runny, but I don't like to eat chicken (which is a very new thing)
I act the same way around celebs, I mean once I get the courage to go say hello.
I think you should have tagged me, because I would have liked to fill this one out. And because I tagged you on the other one.
:)
Me and my BIIIIIIG mouth :)
Um, SO... What are the two wishes?! Inquiring minds want to know.
