For someone like me who is such an infrequent blogger I thought I'd be exempt from being tagged, and could instead have fun lurking and reading other bloggers' strange personal traits or obsessions such as Alex's.
No such luck. Alex is asking me to write my own. So here it goes:
No such luck. Alex is asking me to write my own. So here it goes:
- I collect music: records (3,000), 45's (1,350), CDs (1,500), cassettes (750), mp3 (7,500). I started collecting in college, and through DJing and working at the radio station, the collection grew. Instead of putting them in an iPod, I play them in my own radio station.
- I have been to all 50 states in U.S., but I have never been to Europe. My first solo road trip covered 32 states, from California to as far as Maine (and back). The last of the 50 states I visited was North Dakota, in 2002. A majority of them I visited by car.
- I have an obsession about buses, especially the double deckers that roam the narrow streets of Hong Kong. In the early 90's I went through bus driver's training with Southern Calif Rapid Transit District, fulfilling a childhood dream.
- I believe in neither UFOs nor ghosts, but I'm a big fan of "The X-Files". Yes, I have all 9 seasons plus the movie on DVD, commentaries in book form, fan club, magazines, etc. I even went to the Expo they had out here one year.
- I love numbers. Have books about numbers. Majored in Math and Statistics in college. Can recite squares, primes, value of pi, etc. Can mentally calculate day of the week. Can and will spend hours on a single math problem. Math geek, yes I am.
So there you have it, Alex. I do have to warn you though, since I have fewer vistors in my blog than elected officials in Hong Kong, the people I tag may or may not keep the chain going, and I think I should be allowed to tag a few extra bloggers, just in case.
To the most-esteemed and much-respected bloggers below - upon reading this, please post your five unique, almost-obsessive personal traits in your blog and pass it on to five of your blogger friends.
- EmGee "The Dating Game" , and
- WSK "Tales of a Witty Sex Kitten"(publication ceased) - You two are the sisters I wish I have.
- OEN "Overeducated Nympho" - good luck on your new job.
- Birdie "birdsovafeather" - you have become such a great storyteller lately.
- Lushy "Such a Pretty Face" - I know you have done too many of these already, but gosh darn it, you are so good at it.
- Committed "Committed: Confessions of a Former Cereal Dater" - all the best with you and Coach.
- Alison "Enter at your Own Risk!" - good luck with school.
- Tiffany "Breakfast with Tiffany" - wish you and Ryan much happiness. The house is beautiful.
...and here's the real long shot:
- Elyse "Elyse Sewell" - my wife and I both looooved watching you on ANTM. Glad you like Hong Kong, my homeland.

Wow...two, 2, count 'em... TWO comments and neither one was spam.
I think I enjoyed contacting people more than writing about my obsessions, even though some people tagged were unresponsive, and some probably took me for a spammer. LOL.

Hey thanks, Allison. I don't expect much returns on these games, but it's fun.
Hope you are enjoying your vacation and congratulations on getting DSL.
Take care.

That's ok. You were the first person came to mind when I was asked to tag. Stupid game, I know.
Hope everything goes well on your way over there.
Take care. *hugs*
