<p style="text-align:center;">1. I have used the word SHAZAM <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">2</span> 3 times recently on my blog.  Note to self, stop it.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">2. I was born in Thailand.  On my first trip back to the United States at around 8 months or so, some lady scolded my mom for traveling with a baby who obviously had the mumps.  I did not.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">3.  I hate socks.  I almost never wear socks.  I live in the Northeast.  My feet are often cold.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">4.  I do not like the sound of teeth brushing.  You would be surprised how often movies and television depict people doing it.  When I encounter the horrid noise, I stick my fingers in my ears, close my eyes and sing, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been working on the railroad&#8221;.  I hate teeth.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>Refuse to illustrate my pain.</strong></em></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Ok, could not resist.  Yuck, right?<em><strong><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">5.  I am kind of scared of butterflies.  They always fly at you so janky, seemingly without direction.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">6.  I once called 911 because I heard <a href="https://paperdollsforboys.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/sos/"><strong>screaming</strong></a>.  It turned out to be my screen saver.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">7.  I have squirrels living in my roof.  I do not think they are cute even if <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_query=squirrel&amp;search_type=handmade"><strong>Etsy</strong></a> tells me I should. 4,229 results for squirrel.  No thanks.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">Notice how I dropped off the photos at the end?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">It was that or never publish and since I care about what Potty Mouth thinks of me,  here it is.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">I forgot to tag some folks.  Here goes:</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">4.)  <a href="http://hiddenlibrary.tumblr.com/"><strong>The Hidden Library</strong></a>, throw your hat into the ring?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">5) any and all folks who would like to join.</p>
