Weird Meme part II
I have been tagged by Black Belt Mama for the Weird Meme.
Meme’s are new to me. I used to make fun of them, but this one was fun to read from others, so I did it…..I’ve actually completed it before, but can easily find 6 more weird things about myself, so here goes…6 weird things about myself:
1. I fell out of my crib when I was a baby, landed on my head on the rock floors of my parents house, and experienced some damage to my brain…the part that controlled my breathing. From then on, when I would get hurt, I would stop breathing. Anything from a skinned knee to stubbing my toe would cause me to stop breathing and I would pass out. I once jumped off the coffee table, landed on my butt, and when I came to, the Fuller Brush man (who was there trying to sell my mom some stuff) was giving me mouth to mouth. *
2. I once helped another trainer teach a dolphin to masturbate…….it is tough for them to do without hands, but it can be done. I’ll betcha no one reading this has experienced that ( edited to add: I was a dolphin trainer and our park also did research on cetaceans).**
3. I had a Mitred conure parrot named Lucy whom I potty trained. I could hold her above the toilet and tell her “Lucy, take a sh*t” and she would.
4. I lived in Galveston, Florida and Arizona between the ages of 18 and 23. I traveled by myself and was quite adventurous.
5. I have tube fed a baby dolphin.
6. I used to show Miniture Pinschers.
So now I tag 6 people to tell 6 weird things about themselves. According to The Pajama Mama, “after YOU get tagged, you have to go back to the blog of the person who tagged you and let them know you have fullfilled your tagging obligation and put up your list of six things. That means you have to come back HERE and let me know you put up a post with your six items.”
Okay, so I tag:
1. Kokernot
2. Actual Unretouched Photo
3. Our Life
4. Dooce (shoot, why the heck not)
5. Our Deer Baby
6. Rocks in My Dryer
* I grew out of the problem and no longer experience it…the brain learns to re-route. So, no, I can’t claim that brain damage is why I am like this today ;*)
**the vet who treated our animals needed sperm samples from dolphins, so the trainer invented a “Blow up BarbieFlipperette” for dolphins and trained the animal to…um…use the apparatus. ‘Nough said. (I was a dolphin and sea lion trainer)
First time reader- I have 3 min pins – and 3 boys- Hubby is hoping for a girl someday… I will tell him of your family-he always gets excited when he sees others with lots of boys but a girl in there somewhere!
Oh My God! You are hilarious! You have to let me know how the whole Dooce tagging thing goes! I considered doing it for a second, but I thought, what if she makes fun of me and then I get all her traffic but they’re sending me hate mail or something. I would DROWN in hate mail. I’ve realized that line of thinking was silly, considering yesterday’s events. Wouldn’t you just LOVE to know her top six weird things though! Can’t wait to see what happens!
Thanks for playing!
I’m sorry but #1 totally made me LOL!
Gee, thanks for the mental image of the dolphins. I feel like I need to go take a shower now.
I will play along, but it may be several days–I have some posts already pre-schedule. Thanks for the tag!
You were SPANKING dolphins’s MONKEYS??? Man, you live on the wild side.
I don’t know what the questions are (did I read your post too quickly) but the answers should bring a TONNE of traffic your way.
LOLOL Kathy!! They spanked their own monkeys, thank God. It was all in the name of science, I swear!! Our vet did cetacean research.
Apparently, I am not so weird. Here’s the link to my blog: http://melodee128.blogspot.com/2006/04/meme-of-weird.htm
