Tango-Tags...

This "tag-ing" business seems to have taken the blog world by storm and thanks to two friends La Tanguera and m i l e s I was also tagged. I honor their requests.


The rules are:
1. Post the rules on your blog
2. Link to the person(s) who tagged you: La Tanguera and m i l e s
3. Share seven random and/or weird things about yourself.
4. Tag seven people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Ok let me begin:

1. I am a book worm.
I usually read a number of different books in parallel. Even when I can not physically sit down to read books then I resort to listening to Audio-Books instead. There are always one or two of these on my MP3 player ready to play..

2. I live to tell the tale!
About 5 years ago, in a period of 19 days I faced certain possibilities of my life ending shorter than it has been till now on 3 different occasions and ways!

During this said time, within a few days from each other, I was in a severe car accident pile up, a metal stair case collapsed from under my feet and I fell to the ground-floor from 2 floors up, and the last one was when (however-many) 10's of heavy weightlifting disks stacked up on their metal pyramid stand in my regular gym, just came off tumbling & falling on and around my head & body while I was doing some stretching exercises on the floor-mat next to them! There were no satisfactory reasons that could easily explain away why any of these happened to me since I had no part to play in any of them.

I survived all these three with very minor injuries although at the end of that month my close friends and family members were more of a total nervous wreck than I was.

Since then my outlook on life has changed. Knowing that I was "Lucky!", and am still here despite of all that, helps me smile at all those issues which seem to easily wind many people up.

3. My principles for "Taste"
I am against learning to like anything that is said to need "An Acquired Taste!"
This applies to food, music, art, etc. I believe if some things are not appealing by their very nature then it is only pretentious and shallow if one tries to acquire a change in one's own taste in order to accommodate a liking for them.

4. I am hot!
My body temperature can rise rapidly by about one to two degrees centigrade on demand.
I can achieve this If I drink a glass of wine and immediately follow that by a small bar of chocolate. This also works with chocolate being eaten first, but drinking the wine too quickly afterwards is not just as much fun!

5. I am a tourist.
I take a day off in midweek twice or sometimes more when I can do it, every month. I spend all of that day in the art galleries and museums that I love and adore.
This way I get a lot more of my workload done in anticipation of, and on my return from, my 1 day breaks. I love losing myself being a happy tourist in town.

6. I live with my chemistry.
I am very sensitive to people's personal body scent.
What might seem not very noticeable to most other people's sense of smell, can easily bother me to the extent that it could determine if I am able to socialise and/or work with some individuals.

In tango this can mean either a heavenly or hellish experience depending on whom I embrace!

7. I like the strangers in Tango
...Yes, finally this one is just for Tango. At any large milongas there are always some visiting dancers and I try to find one such complete stranger. I prefer not to have already seen them dancing on the floor.

I have found myself dancing very enjoyable tandas with some wonderfully nice people, some of whom have become very good friends because of this.

That was that!
Now I am supposed to tag seven other bloggers but having been madly busy lately means that most my intended targets are possibly already tagged regardless of how I choose them here from my favourite listed bloggers.

Tango in Her Eyes! , Heartbreak Tango , La Planchadora , Fishnet & Fedoras , TangoBaby , La Vida Con Deby , My Tango Year.
