Don’t you just love it when someone:
-
mentions you in a tweet
-
links back to your site
-
nominates you for a blogger award?
Well Debs over @ DebtDebs did ALL THREE! How awesome is that?!?!
She nominated me for a VBA- Versatile Blogger Award . Ok, not going to lie when I clicked on the link for more info about the award and saw the acronym VBA , the nerd in me automatically thought Visual Basic Application. It’s probably because I took a couple of computer programming courses in high school.
So check it. I’ve been nominated for a VBA.
So now without further adieu, I will tell you 7 so-called secrets about myself (which are not really secrets to the people who know me in real life, but now you too, can feel like you know me better)
- I have no middle name. I sometimes use my mother’s maiden name as a pseudo middle name. Sometimes I wish I did have one though. I guess it’s because almost everyone else has one???
- I broke my left toe when I was a kid. It’s the only time I’ve ever broken something. (KNOCK ON WOOD). I broke it when I fell from running UP the stairs.
- I have a fake uvula. No, it’s not something gross. Look it up. It’s that dangly thing in the back of your mouth. I was born without one, so the doctors made one for me using a skin graft of my inner cheek. At least that’s what my mom tells me.
- I have a potty mouth. I make sure not to let it show in my writing. J
- I refuse to watch horror movies. My imagination is just too wild and vivid to convince myself that it’s only a movie. And then you have those horror stories that are either based on real life events or inspired by real life events. It doesn’t get any creepier than that folks!
- I can’t drive stick or eat with chopsticks.
- Despite having been born and raised in Canada, I didn’t put on a pair of ice skates until I was 11. Please don’t judge.
There you have it. Seven secrets out of the bag.
The VBA website said when nominating other bloggers, consider the quality of the writing, the uniqueness of subjects covered and the level of love displayed in the words-in other words PASSION.

Sorry if you have been nominated already. Consider it a re-nomination if it’s your second/third/”nth” time.
I don’t know anyone besides you who doesn’t have a middle name. Interesting!
I have a potty mouth as well. I’ve been working on changing that though :/
I guess I’m sort of unique then?? Hahaha.
I took a course on Visual Basic in college, too. Not one I cared to repeat! I also refuse to watch horror movies. I stay away from the genre as a whole. I scare very easily! Thank you for the nomination! I did my post on it a couple of weeks back, but it’s been hard to keep track of everyone!
I scare very easily too. To this date, I have never seen the Exorcist, the Ring or Poltergeist. Just thinking about them gives me the shivers!
Wow that’s interesting about the middle name! Was there a reason why? I can’t drive stick either. My college boyfriend tried teaching me and screamed and yelled at me, and I’ve been to scared to try it ever since.
According to my dad, they wanted to keep things simple. My sister doesn’t have a middle name either. I know some people prefer to use their middle names over their first names, which can sometimes be confusing. It’s not a culture thing either because pretty much all my cousins have middle names.
My partner has a standard car and has offered to teach me how to drive it numerous times. He has an immense amount of patience, whereas I do not. I finally tried it once in a parking lot and it wasn’t too bad, just a lot to think about at first. I guess it would depend on what kind of instructor you had. If someone was yelling at me all the time while doing it, I definitely would not want to try it again.
Can you skate now? I’m born and bred here too and still can’t skate! There’s no friction!!!
I don’t even know what a uvula is. The function must be pretty important though for the doctor’s to graft you one.
I sort of can skate, but don’t ask me to play hockey. Lol.
My mom told me if I didn’t have a uvula, my voice would have sounded very nasal like.
