lists are the windows to the soul

or something like that... i was tagged by tango & as much as this feels like a chain letter (which i always break - bad luck or not) i must admit that it is a nice segway into my book of lists (or is that blog of lists?) no matter - i will try to comply with the rules, which are:

• Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
• Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog - some random, some weird (other variations include teenage facts)
• Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog.
• Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

[7 things about djbeat]

1. when i was a child i kept a step stool beside the bed so that the 'things' under my bed could not get me when i stepped down. to this day i cannot hang a foot or hand over the edge without getting that same creepy feeling & i have to fight not to pull back.
2. i love to look down on flying birds
3. i went to my first ever concert when i was 25 - oddly it was bob dylan (tracy chapman opened for him)
4. i entered the miss teen chetwynd pageant - i might have won if only i had learned to play the flute
5. i am sincerely stunned that the human race has continued to procreate (with such alacrity) given how difficult giving birth is and how exhausting a baby is (more on this later)
6. i accidentally had a few dates with a guy 17 years my junior (ridiculous - honestly)
7. i still dream of being an artist - even after the 18 months i spent learning i am allergic to 'starving artist'

now for my two tags (i won't even pretend that i know 7):

my sister because she's good @ lists

complainy pants because she makes me laugh
