Sure, I’ll Play Along

Nuzzling Muzzles was kind enough to take me for this 6 things meme, so I couldn’t resist.

1. In high school, my nickname was Moo.  This evolved from a misspelling of my name at a piano recital.  I was Moo to my friends more than my given name until I went to college.  I miss (sometimes) having a nickname; and also miss (sometimes)  having my hair dyed flame orange (L’Oreal Copper Penny Red)  from the same time period.
2. I adore a certain rock star *almost* as much as Fantastyk Voyage.   My sister and I went to his concert a few years ago as grown people.  My favorite song from his classic era is “Helden” the German language version of Heroes.
3. I had a serious horse riding accident years ago and lied to the doctors at the clinic about whether I had any memory loss.  This in an of itself is apparently a symptom of a head injury.   At several subsequent follow-up appointments, I kept meaning to talk to my regular doctor about continued memory loss, but no joke, I forgot to ask about it every time.  All better now.   Time thankfully heals all wounds, head included.

4. November 16th was our first Houseiversary at Ranchette.  We’ve been here over a year now and I have a dirty confession to make.  I still have boxes that aren’t unpacked.  In an unused part of the dining area and in the basement.  I start more projects than I finish. I appear to be an agent of chaos.   I don’t know if I need to clone myself or stage an organizational intervention.

5. The first cookie I learned how to make on my own is Russian Teacakes.  They are still one of my favorites.   My mom helped me make them for my dad’s office.  The first meal I learned how to make is Hamburger Pie from the Old Betty Crocker cookbook.   I learned to cook when I was in junior high:  my mom was on late shifts at the hospital and my dad was away at law school.   The Hamburger Pie sounds strange: green beans and hamburger in an onion flavored crust but I secretly still love it.  I might make it for dinner tonight.

6. When I was eight, I wanted to be Spock when I grew up.  I was impressed with his grasp of logic.  This makes total sense within my INTP personality type on the Meyers Briggs charts.  I’m a closet addict to personality testing of all sorts, but love the Meyers Briggs best.
