T is for "I've been tagged!"

Kalurah has tagged me. It was awhile ago, but I'm here to answer the call! It's a middle name anagram tag game. I guess it's not really a game but it's fun to say, "It's a middle name anagram tag game." I'm supposed to tell you a little bit about myself for each letter of my middle name.

My whole name is Galadriel Alethea Lynn Thompson. So I've got some work to do here.

A- is for Anti-gravity. For some stupid, ridiculous reason when I was younger I thought that levitation would be a cool superhero power. "I say! Stop there Mr. Bad Guy! Don't make me levitate!"

L- is for lopsided. My right leg is longer than my left by a noticeable margin. It affects the muscles in my back and I have to buy jeans that are too long for just half of me.

E- is for Eternity cologne. Once again, when I was younger, if a boy was wearing Eternity it made him 30% more attractive to me. It was a no-go if the guy showed up for our date wearing Drakar.

T- is for tattoos. I really love tattoos. Really love them. If I hadn't married my Lukey Bear I would probably have full-sleeves and possibly an entire back piece. As it is I have only two. Betty Page riding a guitar surrounded with flames on my left arm and the words "Forever Blue" tattooed on my right arm. I think tattoos are sexy. I don't like just any ol' tattoo on just any ol' person. I don't like tattoos to accompany a mullet or a NRA bumper sticker. I especially don't like rose and butterfly tattoos on your mamma's boobs.

H- "aitch"- is for my hot, hep, and hilarious husband. We got married six months after we met. Seven years and three babies later I'm still hot for teacher Thompson.

E- another E! Um, The Edge, aka David Howell Evans. There was a period in my life where I imagined that I was hanging out with and talking to The Edge. He was sort of like my version of therapy. He gave great advice and would always laugh at my jokes. I didn't talk to Bono very often because he talked too much and it usually wasn't about me. Just so you know, I didn't really think I was talking to The Edge. I mean I knew he wasn't there. I just sort of asked myself WWTED?

A- is for above water and ahoy! I'm afraid of the water. I want to stay out of it. I don't want to ever have to hear the word ahoy. If I'm hearing that word then that means I must be on a pirate ship and pirate ships are usually in the water.

L- is for longhorn cattle. I worked on a Texas longhorn cattle ranch from the ages of 12 to 14. It was a pretty exotic place really. Not at all like the kind of ranch you would imagine. This ranch was more like a zoo tucked into the woods by the Colorado river. It had llamas, zebra, bison, crazy exotic birds that would bite me, antelope, and I swear I heard monkeys at night. Everyone told me they were just owls. Yeah, owls that sounded like hairy, teeth-having, frankly frightening primates.

Y- is for the Y chromosome. I don't have a Y chromosome. That's why I'm a girl. My husband has one Y chromosome and that's why he's a boy. X and Y chromosomes are the sex chromosomes. We have three children. So X + Y = you guys are thinking something dirty aren't you?

N- is for never nudes. I'm not a never nude, but I think they're funny.

N- is for name. My whole name, Galadriel Alethea Lynn Todd, was very hard to remember how to spell and to write in kindergarten. Also, if you could think it, I was probably called it at one point or another in my life. Let's see, Caligula, Caladium, Cathedral, Gallipoli, Drill, Drill-bit, Chlamydia, and my very favorite Get-laid-riel. Obviously that last one was not my favorite but I have always thought it pretty funny.

So, now on to tagging others! Let's see, how about Fidget, Sew Succulent, Iguana Banana, Melissa, Knitterella, and Ruby's Daughter. Let's get to it girls! If I didn't tag you it doesn't mean I don't love you, but feel free to join in. Let me know if you do!
