MAX: Tag by LS: 7 facts...

LS, Life on the Blade, tagged me to participate on this interesting meme, which consists on:

1. Linking to your tagger and listing these rules on your blog.

2. Sharing 7 facts about yourself - some random, some weird.

3. Tagging 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

4. Letting them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs.

I think I have posted a similar tag many moons ago; however since it was LS tagging me (which is extremely rare) here I go:

I am totally a Summer girl. I love hot weather, I love the long days, its smell, I simply love it.
I must be the only person who can't read Julio Verne. I have the entire collection of his books, and haven't read a single one of them - I tried though...but I can't seem to go beyond the first chapter.
I have a passion for dictionaries.
I studied Latin during 2 years (as part of my Humanistic education).
I have an issue with cell-phones: I don't have to be reachable at all times.
I don't like zoos. The last time I went to one, I was 12 and my mom made me kiss a seal...urgh...I was traumatised (so to speak).
I love music...in fact, I can't live without it!

As rare as it may sound, I will break the rules and not tag anyone in particular.

If anyone would like to participate please feel free!

LS, thanks for having invited me to complete this simple meme, it was fun!

Cheers

10 Outstanding Thoughts:

Livingsword 25 November 2008 02:57: Hi Max…

Let me check out your secrets…..

1. I am totally a Summer girl. I love hot weather, I love the long days, its smell, I simply love it.

I respond:
How about all those heavy snow days when you can’t get out of the house? :)

2. I must be the only person who can't read Julio Verne. I have the entire collection of his books, and haven't read a single one of them - I tried though...but I can't seem to go beyond the first chapter.

I respond:
Max dear let go of it….its not worth the trouble…is that what has wrecked sci-fi for you?

3. I have a passion for dictionaries.

I respond:
Does your husband know this? How about thesauruses?

4. I studied Latin during 2 years (as part of my Humanistic education).

I respond:
Did it help you become more human? (Thought I would keep working the sci-fi angle you alien)

5. I have an issue with cell-phones: I don't have to be reachable at all times.

I respond:
I agree therefore I am not…

6. I don't like zoos. The last time I went to one, I was 12 and my mom made me kiss a seal...urgh...I was traumatised (so to speak).

I respond:
Wow you got to kiss a seal? Cool what kind? What did the seal think of it? Was your dislike then sealed with a kiss?

7. I love music...in fact, I can't live without it!

I respond:
Then we will be sure to keep the tunes coming!

I love the surfing shot! You surfing chick…. :)

Fantastic glimpses into the secret life of celebrity Max!

Thanks so much Max!
Max 25 November 2008 17:37: Hi LS! :D

"Let me check out your secrets….."

LOL go ahead....

"How about all those heavy snow days when you can’t get out of the house? :)"

ROFL...we don't have them here in Lisbon. I would only "enjoy" those if I would move up North (Trás-os-Montes; Beira Alta, Minho).

"Max dear let go of it….its not worth the trouble…is that what has wrecked sci-fi for you?"

I have let it go...but some people look at me in strange ways when I share this with them LOL *nodding*. Yes, it was that what wrecked sci-fi for me...I have never been the same since LOL LOL...

"Does your husband know this? How about thesauruses?"

He tries to conceal his jealousy LOL LOL *nodding*! I only have one...

"Did it help you become more human? (Thought I would keep working the sci-fi angle you alien)"

No...the Alien in me still has a lot of questions.

"I agree therefore I am not…"

ROFL....I liked this one!

"Wow you got to kiss a seal? Cool what kind? What did the seal think of it? Was your dislike then sealed with a kiss?"

Unfortunately, yes. One of those black seals. I think the seal couldn't get enough of it for it actually followed me back to my seat *nodding*. LOL LOL LOL indeed...

"Then we will be sure to keep the tunes coming!"

Yes *happy face*!!

"I love the surfing shot! You surfing chick…. :)"

LOL I love the wave. Surfing chick LOL LOL LOL....

"Fantastic glimpses into the secret life of celebrity Max!"

Amel's Realm 25 November 2008 17:53: HE HE HE HE HE...VERY interesting, Max! I didn't know that you disliked zoos and you have issues with cell phones! ;-D
Max 25 November 2008 18:21: Hey Amel,

LOL I do dislike zoo! Cell-phones irritate me, because people assume you have to be available at all times: it's enerving!

I love your 7 things about you, but girl you got to love zoos, because if we ever meet we are going to the zoo, lol, just kidding. Now I got to go and think about mine, I am behind again....Anna :)
Anna 26 November 2008 05:02: ...oh and I promise, I will not make you kiss any animal there, lol, I wouldn't do it myself either, must have been major trauma to you. Anna :)
Max 26 November 2008 16:15: Hey Anna :D!

"I think everyone seems to be breaking tagging or award rules, lol. Max, I have idea for you, tag or award new soul on your blog and they will love you forever, lol."

LOL True; but I am glad LS didn't...this was fun! I have participated in so many tags, that I am a bit worn out lol..

"I love your 7 things about you, but girl you got to love zoos, because if we ever meet we are going to the zoo, lol, just kidding. Now I got to go and think about mine, I am behind again...."

"...oh and I promise, I will not make you kiss any animal there, lol, I wouldn't do it myself either, must have been major trauma to you."

I am telling: it was a huge trauma...the poor animal smelled like fish all over...urrrgh...
Zhu 27 November 2008 03:45: Well, we have a lot in common!

I hate cell phones and the idea of being reachable all the time. Does NOT make sense to me.

I could never read Jules Verne. I'm from Nantes, Jules Verne's hometown... my high school's name was Jules Verne and needless to say we were encourage to read it. Didn't work for me, I ODed on his books! :D

I love summer so much that I will escape for a long winter in summer soon ;-)

And I love music!
Max 27 November 2008 15:38: Hey Zhu :D!

"Well, we have a lot in common!"

Yes, I had noticed that!

"I hate cell phones and the idea of being reachable all the time. Does NOT make sense to me."

It's crazy, isn't it? And the oddest thing is when people look at you when you tell them that you detest cell-phones...as if we were the crazy ones *nodding*...

"I could never read Jules Verne. I'm from Nantes, Jules Verne's hometown... my high school's name was Jules Verne and needless to say we were encourage to read it. Didn't work for me, I ODed on his books! :D"

LOL LOL LOL "I ODed on his books!" LOL LOL excellent line LOL! Girl, Jules Verne was hunting since birth...no wonder it didn't work for you...

"I love summer so much that I will escape for a long winter in summer soon ;-)"

LOL You do well... ;)!

"And I love music!"

*High Five*!!

Zhu, merci d'être venue :D! I love it when we find out that we have similar tastes...

Cheers
