Tagged: Seven Random Things About Food Rockz Man

From Brett--thanks for the tag!

Rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share seven random and/or weird things about yourself.
3. Tag five people at the end of your post and include links to their blog.  (I changed this rule . . . it used to be seven, but it's late and I'm really tired . . . so now it's five.  Feel free, of course, to change it back to seven.)
4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So, without further adieu, seven weird/random things about me:

1.  I'm serially obsessive with my hobbies, my obsessions typically last 3 to 6 years each, and my current obsession is food blogging/photography.

2.  Past obsessions have included distance running, surfing and rock climbing.

3.  I make my living writing and editing the writing of others, using Microsoft Word . . . and I have to work with "codes revealed" and I silently freak out in my head when I see extra spaces . . . even when they're at the end of a line and can only be seen with codes revealed and would never be noticed in a printed document.  (Can you spell C-R-A-Z-Y?)

4.  I don't think I like durian, but I haven't had it in years and am thinking I might need to try it again soon.

5.  Until about 4 or 5 years ago, the only wine I drank was red . . . but my brother cured me of my wine-ism and now I live in harmony with wines of all colors.

6.  My office always looks like a tornado hit it, but my home is very tidy.

7.  I have a self-imposed fashion rule that I never wear a tie without a sport or suit coat . . . a "levels of formality of dress" sort-of rule . . . going from a suit and tie to casual dress, the tie must be the first item to go.  I don't know why.  I see guys all the time . . . especially in . . . like . . . J. Crew catalogs . . . but also on the streets of DC . . . wearing ties and no jacket at all.  I can't do it.  I won't do it!

Here's who I'm tagging:

Culinary Couture

Blonder Than You

I'm not a girl, not yet a wino

Julie's Blog

And I better throw in a cool guy's blog . . . or y'all are gonna think I have a thing for sassy blogger ladies.  Actually, I do have a thing for sassy ladies.  But here's an awesome guy's blog anyway . . . .

No Special Effects

You're it!

    I just answered it, FRM, thanks for the tag (and for calling me awesome, lol)!

    ... By the way, deleting extra invisible spaces and not wearing a tie without a jacket is just common sense

    As your friend and frequent wearer of ties without jackets (with my sleeves rolled up), I can't help but take this personally. As punishment, I will now wear a tie without a jacket on every single occasion when we are hanging out. Even if its August and I'm in my usual "I Hate Long Pants" mode I will wear a tie just to get your goat. PS, if you look at the reveal codes on this message there are 59 extra spaces...

      Ha!  I don't mind if YOU wear a tie without a jacket.  In fact, I'd love it if you would wear a tie without a jacket whenever you're in my company . . . it'll only make me look better and I need all the help I can get!

    An empty desk is the sign of an empty mind. Also of someone who is only capable of working on one thing at a time.

    As to deleting the spaces, I had to stop using reveal codes to get over my habit.
