Okay, so I'm doing thise for two reasons.  1.) I haven't posted in - my God, it's been a while.  2.) 16 people - yes, 16 actual people, no exageration - have sent me this over the course of the last three months.  I get it.  :-)  I'm doing it.

From what I understand, you bold if if you've done it, italicize it if you want to do it and leave it plain if you haven't done it and don't want to do it.  Even if I'm wrong, that's what I'm doing.  :-)

I've been tagged by Amorous Rocker. 

*The rules of the game get posted at the beginning of the post.

**Each player answers the questions about themselves in their post.

***At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

****Let the person who tagged you know when you have posted your answer.

You can see my answeres here.  I'd ben tagged on this meme about a week and a half ago.  I'm not going to tag anyone else, because I've already tagged for this specific meme.  Enjoy!

I was tagged by Quiana and Jeny, so here goes:

Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog w/ 10 weird, random things, facts, habits or goals about yourself. At the end choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don't forget to leave them a comment ( "You're It") and to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you. Since you can't tag me back, let me know when you've posted your blog so I can see your answers.

1. I graduate (with my AA) in May of '09.  Only three more classes.  Damn work schedule!  And, it's about damn time - I started in August of '00.

2. I primarily sleep on my couch.

3. One day I'd like my Ph.D and I don't much care what it's in - I just want it.

4. When not distracted, I can read an entire novel in a day.

5. I am my group's social director - I'm half convinced if I didn't plan it we wouldn't do anything!  :)

6. I feel lonely and isolated a lot.  As well as abandoned.  Which is probably why I plan so many events.  It's something I've been battling for a while now.  However, the isolation is often self imposed. 

7. I really don't want kids.  I think sometimes I think I want them because I feel like I'm supposed to have them and because my moms really, really want grandkids.  But I also refuse to have a kid outside of marriage.  I'm slightly old fashioned like that.  Consequently, I'm terrified of getting pregnant.  Call me the birth control Nazi.

8. I've picked a college major, but I'm still having second thoughts.  I want to do everything and be everything.  How am I supposed to pick on path to follow forever?

9. I saw a psychologist weekly for more than a year.  The only reason I stopped going was because my step-mother told me I should.  I should still be going.  But now I can't bring myself to go back.

10. I find it impossible to stay motivated to lose weight.  I'm not sure why.  I'd really, really like to be conventionally attractive.

I'm tagging Connie, Frances, Heather, Kelly, Leila, Meezer, Tamera, Ann, Brenda, and Jessie.  Some of those people I know real well and think their answers would be interesting.  Others I've only recently met and would love to get to know better. 

This past weekend was one of those weekends that make you glad for Monday to roll back around.  So, in that spirit - the Monday memes!

Curious As A Cat - Week Number 118

For reasons that won't make sense to the bloglanders, the pic makes me think of our Rainbow People.  I'm not sure why.  Maybe because we were talking about them here in the office this morning.
