I was thinking about writing something on theme music the other night. Tell me you know what I mean by theme music?
If you ever watched Ally McBeall before she had Sisters & Brothers then you probably do.
It’s that music that would orchestrate your life if your life was a movie.
I’ve always believed in theme music, even before Ally McBeall. Mainly because I’ve always felt watched- like The Truman show but less pleasantville if you get my drift? That’s probably not true, probably.
But I’m just going to wrap this up now because I got tagged for a meme and meme’s are all powerful and know all- like that this post was about to become a play by play of what I ended up doing instead of writing.(Watching Excalibur, stalking The Bloggess(online!), stalking old classmates and giving serious thought to the magic of panda suits if your interested.)
1st of all thank you for saving us from that @mammywoo (I love you!)
2nd: Object of meme: Seven things you don’t know about me. So here we go, brace yourselves.
1. My life’s theme music is the music from Excalibur. I think it’s an opera by Wagner- yes, I know that’s slightly pychotic but there you go. From the first moment I heard it I was stirred, and have been ever since- yes even the techno version of it. I made an utter fool of myself rocked that song out on the dance floor.
2. I realize that this was one of mammy woo’s but- I really do see dead people.
Okay that’s a lie, but all of my sisters see dead people. I didn’t get that “gift.” I got the strong aura, whoop, whoop. And yes, boring. So while all of them have kick butt ghost stories I get to brag about what? People seeing me before they see me. Sigh. (But always freaked out co-workers.)
3. I don’t like bacon. (Yes, I realize that saying that is Twittercide.)
4. I tried having a one night stand once- and ended up marrying the guy.
5.I’m the only Hispanic in creation who was born without the ability to cumba. My 3 yr old cumbas better then I can.
6.My great,great,great….etc. Grandfather was a Spanish Duke.
This would be more impressive if my great,great,great…..etc. Grandmother hadn’t been his children’s nanny.
(She ended up running away and changing her last name to Puente, the name of her cousin’s husband. Thus making those of us who came afterward Puentes.)
7. Pooh, this is hard. I spend too much time on Twitter? No, that’s absolutely not a secret. Hmmm. Thought of one that is absolutely not going on here. Okay, well when I was little I wanted to be a nun. Which makes no sense because I’m not Catholic. (I watched The Sound of Music alot as a child.)
Right now I feel like possibly the most boring person doing this meme. I’m tagging:
@JustMom42 , @GDRPempress , @mommylebron, @Sogeshirts
and really hoping that they pony up their 7 things we don’t know about them. Mainly so that mine gets forgotten as quickly as possible- but also because I’d love to know!

Sure I will play along, bummer on not getting to see the ghosts but that might be a good thing. Funny about the one night stand turning into your husband.
Ok my seven things
1. I used to be a very good poker player. I would never call myself a pro but I once won 3300 dollars in a tournament and made probably over 100 final tables career. Long story sort poker is not for me.
2. I used to surf. Would like to get back into that this summer.
3. that is if I don’t move to Nevada. I secretly want to live near Las Vegas not sure if it will happen soon but I think it will in the next five years.
4. I grew up a vegetarian and didn’t start eating fish, turkey, and chicken till 13. Besides pepperoni I never had bacon (which I do like) ribs or hamburgers till last year. I’m 30 now.
5. I’m a procrastinator like if I can put something off I will. Doing that right now lol. Twitter is the ultimate procrastination tool. Facebook meh.
6. I have really bad allergies and grew up with asthma. For the most part my asthma is gone but during november through february my allergies suck. Thankfully got some good medicine this year.
7. Something that I have never done and want to do is stand up comedy. I actually can write jokes but have stage fright. I hope to be able to get over it soon and perform.

Thanks so much Tim! I’m really glad you came by and posted those- I’m extremly tempted to tweet ” 7things you don’t know about @sogeshirts is on my blog!!!”
I was telling everyone in my nieghborhood, but no one in my neighborhood tweets or buys awesome & hilarious t-shirts aparently.

Awww, you are not boring at all! And I wanted to be a nun too,when I was little. But because I wanted to whack people with rulers! I still haven’t watched The Sound of Music.

Lol, my mom was taught by nuns- those definately whacked with rulers. (I appreciated the Sound of Music more when I was little then I do now)
