weezyl made me do it.

RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs. We only tag because we love.

1) I was adopted at age two months. The only things I know about my birth parents is that my mom was 18 and unmarried, and my ethnic heritage is supposedly Polish & Italian.

2) I was named after Gina Lollobrigida. For no good reason other than she was popular at the time and had an Italian name (Dad is Italian).

3) I hate being wet. As soon as possible after I get out of the bath/pool/ocean I completely dry off and blow dry my hair. The thought of having wet hair and water running down my back REALLY bothers me.

4) I had a phobia of seaweed/kelp and couldn't even touch it for many years. Until I dove the kelp forests in Monterey. Now the phobia is gone.

5) I have an over-developed sense of smell. I'm easily overwhelmed by strong scents. (Patchouli wearers need to die.)

6) I have absolutely no maternal instinct, at least not towards my own species.

7) I'm slightly OCD when it comes to organization. Things have to be in order. I'll often straighten items while waiting in line at the cash register.

8) I don't really care for monkeys. They look too much like people.

9) I began teaching myself to read at age 3.

10) I'm a high-school dropout. Well, technically I got kicked out.

I don't want to tag anyone, but I'd love to see your responses. Especially if you're one of those people who rarely posts anything about themselves. Yes, *you*
