I usually post memes at my meme blog - The Meme Section.
Creative writing ones live at blogforth.
This is one special, because Jennie tagged me.
Participants:
1. Make a list of 8 random things about yourself and/or your life on your own blog.
2. Tag 8 other bloggers leaving a comment on their blog with a link to your post
1.) I am one of life’s true pedestrians. I’ve never been on an airplane, can’t ride a bike, can’t rollerskate, can’t skateboard, can’t ice skate and don’t drive.
2.) I got married in a jogging suit and Nikes. When our daughter got married, we did a church wedding and dressed to the nines.
3.) I’ve seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show over one hundred times.
4.) I hate having my picture taken so much, that I did not allow photography when I got married. Hey, I know you would have loved to have seen the jogging suit and Nikes. I did pose for pics at my daughters wedding, but when the pictures were posted online none with me were included.
5.) I always carry at least two sometimes three cell phones; each of them is from a different carrier.
6.) I never lie about my age or weight.
7.) I must have a blanket around me when I sleep.
8.) Three teddy bears, one toy gorilla, and a Chuckie doll live on my bed.

I’m *almost* a true pedestrian as well–obviously I’ve been on a plane and I can ride a bike (although I learned comparatively late at probably 10 or 11 years old), but I’m with you on the rest of those! Skateboarding, rollerskating and ice skating will probably never happen, but I am thinking of going to the other side on the driving thing. Maybe.
Oh, and the Chuckie doll thing only scares me a little tiny bit

A blanket, even in the hot weather? You have some quirky stuff here, more interesting than most people’s lists.

Only been on airplane once which I don’t even remember when or how, can’t ride bike but small bikes I can, never rollerskate or skateboard, try ice skate once and fell alot of times, and I don’t drive either
Also hate having my picture taken, pretty much avoids cameras unless I am the one holding them
A Chunkie doll on your bed, that’s that something you hear people admitting but we all have our little quirks
Interesting list, I like your casual style for your wedding, and why not?

Do you dress up and participate in the Rocky Horror Picture Show? Once I dressed as Magenta and “The Hubby” went as Brad. (He wears glasses, so it was only natural!)
I have to have a blanket to sleep, too. Turn down the AC and pass me my “blankie”!
Thanks for playing, even if you do have a Chuckie doll….creepy!

This reminds me, I’ve been tagged too and am slacking on posting my 8 random things…maybe I’ll do that tomorrow…hmmm
Anyway, about the blanket thing, I too can’t sleep without a blanket over me, even in the summer. I think it’s a security thing…

I am the true pedestrian. 35 years of age and I’ve never had a drivers license. No, I am not legally blind despite my bifocals. I grew up in Philly, where buses, subways and elevated trains ran day and night. I worked weekends for my family during my teen years, never really having true teen years. When I went away to college, it was to another big city with decent public transit (Seattle).
I love to walk: busy downtown city streets, rural roads, suburban sprawling planned communities, parks, parkways and vacation destinations. It never gets old.
