The Tagging Game...

I got tagged by 2 of the bloggers I enjoy:
Tracie http://traciestriadventures.blogspot.com/
And, Monica http://trainingtotri.blogspot.com/
Thanks? :Þ

So for the ones who don't know when you get tagged you are suppose to write 7 weird/random things about you and share with other bloggers. Let's see...

1.- A lot of times people spell my name PatrciA or even worse, on the phone and after they hear my voice they go: hello PatriciA.... I swear I have a masculine voice! (by the way it's pronounced like: pah-tree-syo

2.- Speaking of my name... Patrick in English. Patricio is a Roman (Patricius) name and it means "nobleman" in Latin.

3.- In 1993 I met Brazilian: Pelé (Edson Arantes Do Nascimento), the greatest soccer in the history of history.

4.- I have obvserved an autopsy.

5.- In 91 I was in a bad car accident and broke two lower back/lumbar vertebrae (the wings of them aka: transverse process)

6.- My grandfather’s grandfather was the president of Ecuador (South America)

7.- You ready for this one?? I have eaten guinea-pig. Yup, you heard it, or read it well.. guinea-pig. In Ecuador they are called 'cuy' and they are certainly not a pet. In fact they are raised in farms just as cows, pigs and chickens. What does cuy taste like? it's very good actually. If you have ever tried rabbit let me tell you guinea-pig is kind of similar but better. You're probably thinking, THAT is a weird fact..... I see it more as a cultural difference, I mean some people here eat squirrels?? hmmm...

# Share seven random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog.
# Tag seven random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.

So you've got royal bloodlines, huh? I guess I'd better get on that tag then. It might take me a little while, though.

borracha huh? ;) lol

sí, habla Español, un poquito…
I took it for 4 years in high school and then 3 more in college, so I’m definitely ‘rusty’! I do much better reading than writing or speaking. For some reason when I attempt to speak to native speakers, I freeze up and usually can’t remember how to conjugate. ;) But there are specific phrases that I used for 7 years that stuck. So those phrases frequently show up. :)

Thanks for sharing!!! :)
