Food Rockz Man, fantastic cook and all around good guy, has pinged me with a meme. He wants to know more things about me, but this is getting tricker as I once had a list of 101 things about me. Let’s see if I am up to the challenge:
1. I have a gnarly scar on the back of my neck from where I had a tumor removed…twice. When people touch it, it sends a shiver down my spine. This has caused more than a few men to think it was them causing the shivering.
2. My first kiss was on the playground when I was 6. I held him down and forced him. Not much has changed in my approach to men.
3. I haven’t seen my brother in 5 years. Nothing bad happened, we aren’t fighting; we just are not close. This doesn’t bother me, though tends to make other people uncomfortable.
4. I often struggle with how much of myself to put on this blog. Though, of course, I am Lemmonex to a certain (ok, large) degree, I am much more than some sassy, drunk, sex-crazed food blogger. I find too many people become their personas, almost losing who they really are. I don’t want to be one of those people.
5. If you ever see me with my nails unpolished, mark this day down on your calendar. It is a very rare occurance. Like brushing my teeth or combing my hair, this is a part of personal grooming I would never consider not doing.
6. I had a friend who used to say “People tell Lemmonex things”. And they do. People generally feel really comfortable around me and sense I can keep a secret. This also means I have a ton of shit on everyone. It makes me feel drunk with power.
7. I am addicted to texting and emailing. My response is almost Pavlovian. I hear my phone beep and I run to it. I respond to emails instantly. I think some of it has to do with being a planner; I see a task or something that needs a response, and I want to tackle it instantly. This makes dating hard because I find the delayed response annoying and counterproductive. If it takes me a few hours to respond to an email while at work, you know I am actually really busy.

I believe that the original 101 was the reason I kept reading and hung around. An eclectic mix of food/fun/sex/play. Thank you for sharing…
Glad that could lure you in. I do whatever it takes.

Is this original 101 gone?
While you’re sharing, what’s your ethnicity? Let me guess… Portuguese or maybe Italian.
The 101 is gone…I may put it back up one day, but I felt a little exposed.
I am half French and half Polish.

There must be something about that combination that makes a woman a tough cookie — Alias Clio is also half French and Polish.
There is something a bit condescending about the term “tough cookie”, but from you, it is charming. Almost.

It must be one of those “hey, that’s our word” words — I’ve heard lots of girls refer to themselves as tough cookies, meaning impossible to push over.
I am impossible to push over, I give you that.

Yes, yes . . . we do tell you things. But why? What is it about you? At any rate, I’m glad I can contribute to your intoxication!
There is just something about me…it isn’t definable.

I go away for the weekend and what’s my welcome home? Tagged! I’d be mad at you, but you post about food, so I’m more or less putty in your hands.
In other words: done.
Thanks for indulging me.
