I used to tell myself that I didn’t like to play online games of Tag. After all, Tag (and its gaming counterparts) should be reserved for more appropriate places, like the field of an elementary school during recess, or your grandmother’s backyard. Or so I rationalized to myself. But then one day I realized I liked being Tagged. Always have liked it, actually. Ever since Elementary school. What is more, I find that I thoroughly enjoy reading other people’s responses to being Tagged, and find that often times they can indeed be quite informative! and thus, quite fun! Also, I remembered I had played the game once before and found myself again rationalizing that, as my Tagging cherry has already been popped, why hold out now?

So, in conclusion, I am sometimes a snob. And most often wrong about my initial judgments/assessments/idears when it comes to both myself and others. I’m working on that.

So thanks! Kim for coaxing me into this particular game of Tag. You tag gentler than most.

*This topical starting point originally ended in the preposition “over” (as in “over and over”). I have been most unable to bear the ending of sentences with prepositions ever since my sophomore English teacher flunked any paper in which she found such a sentence. The English anal retentiveness, it runs oh so deep.

*Originally was “foods,” but I slightly altered it. Because I can. But really because I have never in my life been able to designate a “favorite” food beyond what was easy to make and/or not cilantro.
