The Taggosaurus

I got Tagged! (Kinda has the same rhyme as VH1's Ashton Kutchers Uber cool show 'You got Punked') So, since this is a first (yay) and also since the same is required of me on Facebook, when a very old school friend wrote me an adorable message whilst tagging me (Emotional blackmail), I shall go the copy paste and the killing two birds with one stone way.

I need to list 25 random things about me. (I fear that when I start rolling, I'll reach triple digits) But shall restrict to top-of-mind answers.

Anyway, This is a disclaimer - If at the end of the 25 bullet points reader deems writer too weird to satisfy societal norms, I, err, wouldnt blame you. here goes. In no order.

  1. I Love my star sign. No, you dont get it, if it was normal, it wouldnt be on this list. I LOVE MY STARSIGN, and almost qualities associated with it.
  2. I can Kill for Brownies AND/OR Cheesecake. Really, if you want some, get your OWN.
  3. When im crossing the street, and if there's a Zebra crossing, I walk ONLY on the white stripes. If Im walking on a cobblestone/tiled pavement, Ill only walk on the odd tiles/similar shaped/colored tiles.
  4. I can NEVER walk past someone begging without giving something. Ive tried, but it doesnt really work. Its another OCD I have to live with.
  5. I have 5 watches. And I still want more. Watches, Perfumes, Bags and Shoes. Thats it.
  6. Im not a very Dog person. The only animals I even like are Horses. (Im gonna get socked for this one no?)
  7. I currently have Sony Ericcson cellphone earphones plugged in my Ipod.
  8. Until a year ago , The only perfumes I ever owned (and bought) were Mens. I am now the proud of 3 womens perfumes which were gifted to me :D
  9. I started crying at a birthday party when I was 8 cos the FIRST gift i ever won at (ANY) party turned out to be a wrapped plastic cockroach. The next gift I ever won was 5 bottles of Citra in kids housie.
  10. If You tell me a ghost story/ If I watch a creepy movie/scene, I wont get sleep that night. (or a few after that too)
  11. I have had braces TWICE and my teeth are still having a party playing musical chairs.
  12. I love babies. I could have some serious babykidnapping symptoms specially if i encounter a particularly cute one.
  13. I tend to be jack of all, Master of none. I played basketball, badminton, swam, did horse riding, sailing and surfing in summer vacations every year, but never excelled majorly in any of them. The line stopped at good.
  14. I had to take 15 injections in the sole of my foot (Interferon) for stupid warts that never even hurt, but bugged me when I looked.
  15. I am a sticker for being a good host. So much so, Ill spend half my time out of the room catering to random requests.
  16. Damn, I still got 9 to go. Will cleverly disguise randomness in one point so as to have one less muhahaha
  17. I used to get my hair cut along with my Dad at A1 Gents Parlor till I was in the 6th standard. I suspect not many people in the parlor figured I was a girl cause my clothes of choice were ONLY shorts and T Shirts. Now I have a near waist length Mane.
  18. I 've been Bald Twice in my life.
  19. I secretly want grand romantic gestures (even in a little way) to be sprinkled along the course of my life. Romantic movies make me dreamy :D
  20. I Hate most women drivers. (Sigh. I know)
  21. I Hate when a guy thinks he's better than me. In any aspect.
  22. At gym, Two women told me they liked my butt. I responded with an embarassed cough and an equally random 'You should try squats with the bar + 40 pounds' and shuffled away.
  23. I need alone-time. If Im out all day, or at a party late night, I still need to come home and just spend some time with myself. Listening to music, looking out the window or even just doing nothing. I hate someone joining me for a jog. If I see someone I know, I discreetly try to switch directions. (is this two points?)
  24. I was Memory game champ in an Interschool Delhi school competition in the 1st standard. I won a bicycle, a tea set and some cash. My mother won the award for 'Most supportive parent', courtesy a picture taken of her looking ridiculously nervous, standing next to my table when it was the final game. I on the other hand, was looking impatient (Get this over with and feed me people types).
  25. Contrary to initial opinion, I actually enjoyed this tag and sincerely hope that you'll dont abandon me :)

Okay, so heres the problem - I have to Tag 25 people! I dont even know 25 people who wont think its weird I'm tagging them, or kick my butt for doing so. Nevertheless, here are the ones I want 25 utterly random things about -

Piper, Snow, Aditya, Rockpsyched, The Nomad, The Lonewolf, Smita, Abhishek, Imps mom, PJ, Perplexed, Jack, Mumbai Diva and Sunshine for now.

Please oh please pick it up, its only fair. :D and of course, let me know when you have and all that. Cheers!

Hi there... I randomly stumbled onto your blog from Rahuls after I read 'All That Jazz' (I love the song that Catherine sang), then your Id 'Serendipity' (My fav. word... honestly... and one of the fav. movies too! So much so that I am going to share my first dance with my wife whenever I find her on its soundtrack 'Moonlight Kiss' .... one random fact abt me :-D). So this was enough to compell me to read through and I must say you have some very random stuff out there....lolzz! Though I don't believe in sun signs.. moon signs... I do love Pluto... its sad he is no more a planet! At point 2.. I agree... 'Joey doesn't share food'! @ Point 11: I am half tooth... lost half a tooth in class 10... I like it better now! @ Point 16: This made me bound to comment here... ROFL! @ Pont 23: Oh I need my alone time too... I hate it when someone disturbs me then!!

PS: Hope I didn't come strong on the first encounter... I often tend to scare people away by talking too much... probably thats why have more friends in the blogging world! :-D Planning to go through your rest of the posts the first chance I get!

Serendipity said...

Hi Aniket :) No, you didnt scare me off. Im half a talk-a-thon myself. lol.

Since uve anyway told me at least 2 random things, YOUR TAGGED!go on, do it!

Smita said...

God!!! You tagged me??? Why o why???

Ayways lol @ the zebra crossing thing...BTW even I used to use only male deo's

You did it in a cool manner it was fun reading :) I might not even remember 10 things about me :)

snow said...

that was so hilarious/random/insightful/cool lol @ 9, 16, 22!
# 1 is sooo like me :D
# 3 is OCD, confirmed now hehehe i'm not too far, especially when walking on tiled floors... i keep thinking about 'symmetry' for some reason..
# 20, sad but true -- on an average, a woman driver is calm but darn, can she be stupid!

boy, it'll take me forever to do this one hehe but i know i'll be doing it very soon! i'm a sucker for tags.

Aniket Thakkar said...

I hate chain events... (another random thing).... but this sure is fun! I was planning of writing one just for the fun of it... (as I was not hoping anyone would ever tag me) Will surely put up my randomness by tomm.! :) And you better read it after I take the pains to write them (That wasn't too bossy for only the second comment was it?? :-D)

Sigh, I'll have to deviate from the norms of writing pure fiction though... but what the hell... its my blog... so I make the rules! :-D

Aditya said...

I do the walking on coloured tiles bit.

Bald, twice? One of those at birth?

# I Hate most women drivers. (Sigh. I know)
# I Hate when a guy thinks he's better than me. In any aspect.

If so, then I think I'm a better driver than you. :D

And I shall respond not today, but on Saturday; and with not 25 but 26. Yes, there is a reason. ;)

Also, now I have a desire to take a look at your butt. Yes, I said it!

Serendipity said...

@ Smita - Try! once i started I thought i could go on. Im quite a weirdo Ive realizd. :D

Hi Snow! - U just wait till I read yours :p

@ Aniket, Stop worrying about comment etiquette! (Is there some I should be aware of?) And go do the tag. I shall read and make fun. Rest assured. :D

Ad - You're REALLY ASKING for it Mister. Dont say i Did'nt warn ya. :P

And birth baldness would mean bald =thrice.
Once in the 2nd std, once in 6th. :P
My dad still has delusions that we both will go bald once more in the summer to beat the heat. I offered my brother as proxy. :D

Sai Charan said...

Hi Serendipity,

This blog is really nice and cool.

:) loved it all, though some were weird! :) thanks for the tag.You`re the second one to tag me on this one! So I have to do it, I guess! :)
p.s - do I sound a lil constipated? That`s because I just completed the GRE and guess what? It was awful!! :(((((( far, far worse than what I had anticipated - even though I still think the qstns were really easy. I thought I was doing well - until I got to know the score! :(((
