Uh-ho! I got tagged by Miss T of prefurr.com. This is my first time being tagged as a blogger so I'm both flattered and excited and I want to do this well, but I confess it is difficult to limit it to only seven. I do my best to avoid the "norm" as often as possible. I could cheat and name each of my cats for three of my strange things but, I'm committed to doing this right, so here we go.
Seven Strange Things About Me
1) I lived in a van for a year and a half when I toured the US as an actress with a repertory theater company. While it was a chance to see the States I can't recommend it as a reliable means of income. There's really nothing quite like standing a grocery store with enough money for either shampoo or deodorant and needing both. Mom, thanks for that money you used to send. Any chance I could get some more...
2) I live in Georgia where everyone drinks sweet iced tea. I do too, but I prefer hot tea even in summer. In case you don't live any where near here I'll give you the general description of summer. It starts in April and ends in September. It's nothing for it to be in the upper 90's and the humidity so is high that breathing can be tricky. We're not slow in the south, we're just trying to slog through all the moisture.
3) I am southern but don't have a southern accent. I do really super impressions of it though. I also do a British accent (I've fooled my mother with it) and impression of friends. I'd be a hit at parties but not many people know the friends I do impressions of... I should find different friends.
4) I always take baths. Who needs a shower? I can't lounge in the shower and read a book so splish-splash it is for me.
5) I love to learn new things from friends and family. For example, my husband has taught me how to build my own computer, how to drive a stick, and how to play bass guitar. Some other things I've learned are: how to reupholster furniture, change spark plugs (thanks Dad), and simply and effectively clean a toothbrush but putting it in the dishwasher. I really wish I had a dishwasher.
6) The strangest most uncontrollable crap happens to me. Like the time I was pet sitting and the dog I was walking went after that cat, or the time Kit brought me a toy mouse that wasn't, and then there was the time the bird came down the chimney. I think I inherited this trait from my aunt. She once saw a big mangy dog walking down the street and stopped to pick it up only to realize it was someone's pet lion. She once rescued a bird with a broken wing and took it to the vet. When she got it home it was miraculously cured and flew around her house. She had to trap it in her washing machine. Stories like these make me feel better...
7) I cannot stand it when people are passive-aggressive. Just SAY it already! The world will keep spinning.
So, there you go. Seven strange things about me and barely a reference to my all-consuming passion for felines, but you guys know that one already!

Strange things eh? You have been blessed then! Most people don't live that exciting a life!
Understand about the weather, Winter is from Dec15 to Jan15 and the rest is HOT and HUMID. But we love it!
Lovely! And very brave too! I've yet to do my post, but the urge to wuss out and stick to cats and dogs looms large so good on you for telling us a bit more about your lovely self.
Several points I can relate to:
Standing in line trying to choose between shampoo and deodorant! Ah, the link between art and poverty!
Lounging in the bath last night reading Harry Potter! If there wasn't a water shortage in Australia, I'd be bathing every night too.
Passive Aggression - somehow it's much more annoying than outright aggression. (Although I've probably been guilty of it from time to time myself, alas.)
