Tagged by a Penguin!

Surprisingly, I’ve been blogging for 7+ years and I’ve never been tagged. It was bound to happen sooner or later. In any case, I was tagged by my Penguin cohort over at Weddingbee who’s sassy, spunky, and she also lives in the condo of my dreams (you should see it; it’ll make your little heart melt, it’s that cute).

Here are the rules of this tag game:
1. Link to the person who tagged you
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Write 6 random things about yourself
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them
5. Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is posted

I don’t think I know six bloggers who haven’t already been tagged with these questions, so I’ll have to cheat on number 4. Hey, I never said I was popular.

Six Random Things About Me:

1. I’ve been arrested and taken down to the station in a paddywagon. Yup. When I was the ripe young age of 20, I went with my girlfriends to a Korean club in SF. Well, this K-club was notorious for allowing underage people (like me) to drink. On the night we visited the venue, it was raided by cops! Thankfully, I wasn’t drinking that night. The police officers grabbed up all the girls and asked for our IDs. Of course, we all conveniently “forgot” our IDs at home. Hah. I ended up in the back of a van stuffed with 10 crying girls (I wasn’t crying; I was way too pissed). When we got to the station the cops put us up in a little room for a minute, took our prints, and let us out. No charges were pressed, but boy does the experience make a good story now!
2. I was a cheerleader in high school. That may not seem random if you don’t know me, but those who do know me understand how introverted I really am. I don’t like being the center of attention, so I have no idea what compelled me to try out for the cheerleading squad. There certainly weren’t any cute boys on our football team.
3. I missed my junior prom because no one asked me. As an insecure high school teeny bopper, this was actually pretty traumatic for me. I spent prom night with my girlfriend, gorging on pizza and Coke. *sob*
4. I put my makeup on in the car every morning. It’s not as bad as it sounds. Driving in SF city traffic allows for lots of wasted time at stoplights. These are precious minutes that can be utilized so that I can sleep in ten minutes longer in the mornings. I never apply my makeup if the car is moving, only at full stops of at least 30 seconds. But I’ve become a pro at applying eyeliner without a mirror.
5. I want to be a homemaker. This might not seem random, but it’s definitely more uncommon here in the bay area. Most women I know want a powerful career and financial independence. For me, none of that is a priority. I would be completely satisfied as a stay-at-home mom. Of course, I’d still want to do something constructive with my time. Perhaps a small home business or a community service cause would fill that void and allow me some adult interaction.
6. My first job was piercing ears at Claire’s. I cannot believe this store trusted a 16 year old girl to pierce the ears of 4 and 5 year old kids. Seriously, if you have children, don’t ever let Claire’s associates touch their earlobes. I barely had any training before a piercing gun and a purple marker were shoved in my hands. There are hundreds of poor, unfortunate souls out there with lopsided earrings because of me. Are you reading this, little Sarah? I’m sorry for the trauma I caused you. I hope you’ve forgiven me!

It’s about 5am right now and I’m off to catch my flight. I didn’t get a chance to tag anyone back, but I hope that my embarrassing facts plastered over the internet were entertaining for you to read. See you in two weeks! I shall leave you with a parting thank you for indulging me.
