The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns: The Tag Of All Tags

Support This Site

This may just be my last tag for a long time, but I'm sure you'll get quite a bit of knowledge of my personal life from this one to last you a while. I'm Just A Girl had me do this one, 5 Random Facts About Me, but then I got into it and finished all the ones she had on her site. So, here we go...

5 Random Facts

1. I like to keep the tv on all day even though I don't watch it more than 1/2 the time - I just need the sound of it. But, I need absolute silence when I'm studying.

2. I can't stand wearing jeans. I've had no more than 5 or 6 pairs in my lifetime, and most of the time they were just sitting in the closet. I mainly wear skirts and dress pants.

3. My "thing" in high school was wearing a black leather tassle jacket (which I still have). One girl admitted she was afraid to approach me because she thought I was a "butch" and wouldn't give her the time of day. We ended up becoming really good friends and I dated her brother for about a week (my standard dating time limit back then).

4. I love to paint. I just can't find the time right now or the right place in this house to do it.

5. Unlike I'm Just A Girl, I have a family with almost no musical talent (other than my grandpa and dad), and yet it is strong in me. My piano teacher, drum instructor, and trumpet instructor all saw some major potential in me that I never followed through with, but only because I moved on to other avenues in life.

4 Jobs I've Had

1. Bingo hall concession worker
2. Night security at a retirement home
3. Apartment maintenance
4. Fast food cashier

4 Movies I Could Watch Over And Over

1. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
2. How the Grinch stole Christmas
3. Platoon
4. Plains, Trains, and Automobiles (That's not a pillow!)

4 TV Shows I Watch

1. The Simpsons (of course)
2. South Park
3. The Job (when it was on tv), but now King of the hill
4. Scrubs (although, I haven't had time to watch it this season)

4 Blogs I Read Daily

Too many to list here. I go to many daily, and even more at least once a week. I generally go to those who have something different to say than what the standard mainstream blogs talk about.

It gets really boring reading "cut and pastes" all day long, so I'd rather check out blogs with something unique to offer.

4 Albums I Can't Live Without

1. (heh heh) Photo album of my childhood, family, and pets
2. Guns N' Roses (all of them)
3. AC/DC (all of them)
4. Boney M Christmas CD (puts me in the holiday mood)

4 Vehicles I've Owned

1. Datsun B210 hatchback 1975
2. Buick Skylark 1977
3. Ford Tempo 1987
4. Driving boss's Chrysler 300M
5. We'll see (hoping it's a Jaguar xjscv12)

As always, I tag no one, but if you let me know that you've done it, I'll go check it out.

Thanks again to I'm Just A Girl.

I've seen a similar one recently that was asking to name 7 things... which I gave up on, because for each category, I got stuck after 3 or 4.

This one I may have a crack at - seems a little bit more do-able.

A tassle jacket? Man, how 80's. I can't be one to talk, I had a mullet.

My dad bought a 1987 Ford Tempo for me to drive to college. What a piece of crap that car was. It was metallic gray, until the paint on the trunk bubbled up and chipped off. Then it was gray with rust polkadots.

I keep my TV on all day too without really watching it. Scrubs & Southpark's a fave too.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, yes. So many great lines, scenes - a fine choice.

Good luck with that next vehicle.
