Thursday Thirteen : All about Claudia

I was tagged by the CEO at the Morning Meeting to do six uninteresting things about me.  THEN I was tagged by Kara to do five uninteresting things about me.

Clearly, these people know how truly uninteresting I am. Thus, I will share with you eleven uninteresting things about Claudia plus one.

And hopefully, you will share something of uninterest about you in the comments. I'll add it to the post and we will join in uninteresting qualities!

Thursday Thirteen #51 : All about Claudia

1.  I am fairly slutty when it comes to social networks. I let anyone be my friend.

2.   While I let anyone be my social network friend, I do not hesitate to defriend, block or stop following.

3.  I am the only person in my biological family that does not take psychotropic medication, mood stabilizers and/or doesn't self medicate with alcohol and/or drugs.

4.  I love my Magic 8 ball.

5. I sit on a swiss ball at my desk.  My buddy, Perpetual Student, inspired me with her green ball chair.

6.  I am tall, 5' 10".

<---Tag One Over-->

7.  Prior to being a therapist, I never held a conversation with anyone who wasn't about my height.

8.  Like a lot of tall people, I think short people are up to something. This fact has been confirmed to me by my buddy Tommie, Perpetual Student and other short bloggers.

9.  I learned to knit when I was seventeen and have knit ever since then. I love to knit. I love all the bits that go with knitting - yarn, needles, pins, etc.  I do not love finishing the collar on sweaters. It's a sickness.

10.  I have life long insomnia which seems to be abating due to SleepTracks.com. (I'm not an affiliate, just a fan).

11.  A psychic told me recently that my fictional characters were real people at one time. This is why I feel like they write their own stories.  (READ: Claudia's a lazy writer!)

<---Tag Two Complete-->

12. I laugh all the time. All. The. Time.

13. Now it's your turn - leave a random and/or uninteresting fact about yourself in the comments and I'll add it here.

Am I the only one who can see she has failed in her assignment... these are not uninteresting facts!!!

Random fact about me - While I cannot stand mushrooms of any kind, I find the term "sauteed mushrooms" to be the most appetizing food words in the English language, my mouth waters at the mere mention of it... 42 years in to this little experiment called life and I cannot figure this out.

[Kat]

Boy, now I am not sure whether to feel glad you friended me or elated you have not unfriended me....

I am another one of those short people who is up to something and as soon as I know what that is promise to tell you. However, I speak to people of all shapes and sizes and I am not a therapist!

I am also a knitter, however I have only been knitting a few years, but likewise I love it - moist especially all things wool.

I am also such a fiber fanatic, I have taken to spinning my own yarn!! Zen meditation has nothing on spinning, I promise you.

Okay, is that enough enough randomosity for you?

Thanks for sharing!!

[Ruprecht]

It's an oldie, but a goodie of an uninteresting fact. Here goes:

Uninterestingly, my given initials (no ... Rupe isn't one of my given names, you Brainiac!) are an abbreviation for "mountain".

How uninteresting .............. Ruprecht

[On a limb with Claudia]

Nicholas - I don't like having my picture made with glasses on either.

Perpstu - Hmmm which of these is your uninteresting fact??

Soren J - :*-( oh no... failure my name is Claudia. I don't like those mushrooms much either - talk about suspicious!

Kat - Oh I knew you were short when I friended you! I'm not afraid (at leas that I'd admit too!)

Ruprecht - Hmmm.... I think I knew that....

[Sue]

Random uninteresting fact - Sue loves seafood (I just had it for dinner)

[citizen janey]

I'm still giggling at the "short people are up to something" comment. And you should be so random and uninteresting... please. xoxo

[Eric S.]

Humm, uninteresting eh. How bout I love to saute mushrooms after midnight, and horde them all to myself.

I read in the tub.

I was born left handed, but baby sitter converted me to right handed.

[Lori]

You're tall, but at six feet, I'm taller (smile). According to my hubby, tall chicks rule. Well, at least they do at our house (LOL).

[SandyCarlson]

Not taking meds of any kind must make family life a challenge from time to time!

An uninteresting fact about me:

I will not eat celery or raisins. Under any circumstances.

[Adelle Laudan]

You are not that tall. I'm 6'2" so there, shorty!

An uninteresting fact about me...

I could create a complete outfit, including making the pattern from scratch.

Happy T13!

[PopArtDiva]

My uninteresting fact: I used to eat sweet pickle and Wonder bread sandwiches.

I have to laugh at being a social network slut. Your #4 is probably the reason for #3, lol. I am short and, yes, I am always up to something!! Usually about 5'2".

Since I'm moving in ten days my TT is 13 Good and Bad Things About Moving

[Lori]

You love your magic eight ball....do tell! Im glad you dont need meds to cope. So many people do. Happy TT my friend and thanks for stopping by:)

[Bernie]

[Noelle]

Hi, cool list! I will also let anyone be my friend on social networks, but if you turn out to be a spammer, I will block or stop following you. My TT is here: http://lifes-adventures.net

[tommie]

hey hey hey.....I resemble some of those statements!

random: I went to school (university) on a scholarship....PIF for the four years I was there...I often wonder if it was a waste since I am now a SAHM.

uninteresting: I keep my nails short for a reason.....betcha can't guess why?

[tommie]

forgot to say, I would LOVE my magic 8 ball if I had one! I used to love that thing.

I asked my bubs about the tall thing (he is 6'5")....yeah....I think you are right!

[FickleMinded]

I'm only 5'3" and i always envy tall people specially women, bec i always believed that " tower is power!!"

[Alice Audrey]

Well no wonder you're popular. Especially with the laughing thing.

[colleen]

I want an 8 ball for Christmas and maybe a Ball Chair and a Strobe light Ball. I sit on a tightly rolled up towel to tilt myself forward. How do you get a ball the right height?

I don't understand #7.

I'm only 5'1". I've spent a lot of time hemming pants and skirts. Maybe if I was taller I would have had more time to read the classics...or write some!?

[colleen]

PS I do have an Etch-a-sketch and a slinky.

[Grace @ Sandier Pastures]

I'm 5'4"...am I short? because sometimes people think I am up to something! :-)

My uninteresting fact: I am so inefficient with a touch pad on a laptop. I can't get anything done without a mouse!

[Anthony North]

Well, at 5 foot 4 inch tall, I guess I'd have to agree with you :-)
