I Got TAGGED!

I was tagged on 8-4-07 but we have been on vacation, so I am just now catching my blog up.

Here are the rules:
1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.
4. At the end of your blog you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged and that they should read your blog.
5. 8 is a magic number. Not three.

Eight Obscure Things About Me:

1. I have been overweight since the 9th grade (read 1st blog) Because my parents were so non-active in my life, I figured out the only way I would ever make it through high school was to become a ass-kicker (bully) I wasn't the type of bully to take your lunch money, but I was the girl everyone called to fight their fights for them. My senior year, I failed Marketing by two points. My principal called me into the office and told me she was giving me the two points, because she didn't want me in her school again the next year. Ouch that hurts! Unfortunate for her, I received a page the following year (after I had graduated and started college) for a girl who wanted me to come and walk her to class because she was scared of being beat up...I ended up going and doing it and then I stopped in to say hello to my principal...he he

2. I love musicals, especially ones starring Judy Garland. My grandmother got me hooked when I moved in with her when I was 17. I collected quite a few and every year I make my children sit and watch Easter Parade, I figure if I have to watch High School Musical daily, then they can pacify me once a year. Secretly both them and my husband like it.

3. I am a social smoker. I can pick them up and put them down. It doesn't bother me.

4. My nickname, given to me by my sister when they could not say Keyana was "Kaka" it means shit in Spanish and I am still called that quite often. My youngest sister, Cori, has now started calling me "Doo" as I do her, we got that from the movie Coal Miner's Daughter...Another Fave of ours.

5. I have three biological children and our fourth child, Melanie Mojo, (we shortened it to Lanie) was left with me by a childhood friend when she was 8 weeks old. She is almost two and we have had her every since. The mother found me on myspace, (she is on crack) and asked me if her grandfather was dead? Nothing about her child. she also asked if we were still friends? Well, I left my myspace public and she stole one of the pictures and then changed her name above the picture to HER NAME IS MOJO! and then her headline read "and I'm her mother you fat bitch, and what's with all your fat friends?" I don't know what caused this outburst, except that I had changed my profile back to private so she could no longer steal the pictures of her, after all when we got the baby, there was a open investigation because the child had a bedsore on her head and was being medicated with Tylenol and Benadryl so she would sleep! Needless to say, she chose crack over her child and what about the other 5 children? She has nothing to do with them nor has custody of them either. But you want to call yourself her mother??? BTW, I LOVE it when people attack my weight, I have been called fat for 17 years...it does not affect me...I thought about changing my headline to "you like crack, we like food" but I have decided to just get a lawyer instead...

6. I shoot straight from the hip and if you want my opinion on something, I will give it, I expect the same in return.

7. I have psoriasis of the scalp, ears and sometimes of the face. I use alcohol on my ears, special shampoo on my scalp, and cream on my face.

8. I am a myspace addict. I love the thought of being able to find friends, family and lost loved ones on there. Not to worry, I have begun the 12 step program.

I would tag 8 people, in fact, I just had their names written down, but I just threw that piece of paper in the shredder box, and I don't remember who I chose! Oh well, the whole ring is tagged,(if you haven't been tagged already) there you go.
