Too Much Information Meme and 10 Things You Never Knew About Me Meme

Hi everyone. I've been tagged for five different memes. So, let's call this week, Meme Week, and please bear with me as I post the responses. ;-) Here are the first two:
Mona tagged me for the Too Much Information meme. Simple rules: post ten weird and random facts about yourself. At the end, list the names of the five people you tagged. It doesn't have to be food related.
Also Ilva tagged me for the 10 Things You Never Knew About Me meme. This one is self explanatory.
As the memes are similar, I'm going to do a two in one meme. Hmmm... Let's see what I can come up with....
1- I used to play the flute, cello, piano, and guitar -- not at the same time, of course.
2- I've been known to leave the Christmas tree (it's artificial) up, at least a month after the Christmas season if over.
3- I like to play Christmas music in the middle of the year (or any other time after Christmas).
4- I like tripe a lot!
5- My favorite place to watch the sunset is on the Greek island of Santorini.
6- I hate to shop (except for books).
7- I love to watch the 1990s Batman and Superman cartoons.
8- Like Mona, Fall is my favorite season.
9- I used to belly dance.
10- I like to watch people dance the tango. I like the music, too. A long time ago, after seeing the movie, The Tango Lesson, I took lessons. I thought that I'd get an attractive male teacher (like the one in the movie) and maybe we'd fall in love (like the characters in the movie). I was wrong. I got a woman teacher who always seemed grouchy and barely tolerable of my two left feet. I didn't last long in the classes, but it was fun to try.
Okay, I seriously think this is really too much information AND 10 things you never knew about me. I wish to tag:
1- Mebeth of Hold the Raisins
2- CJ of CJ's Food & Discovery
3- Eggy of Greedy Goose
4- Lera of MyriadTastes
5- Grace of The Kitchen Journal
Choose whichever meme you'd like to participate in and blog about it.
Now, on to the other memes for which I've been tagged,
Paz

Oh no, I came here to tag you for a meme too. Let me know if you just can't do it. It's the one Ilva started about my 5 Food Challenges for 2006. It took me a week to get to it myself. (You are just toooo popular I guess.)
Seriously, I will tag someone else if you want me to. No problem.
Belly dance...Wow,Paz!I love 'tango' and enjoy watching people dancing to the beat..:)
Paz-I once left our christmas tree indoors (but i had at least taken away the decorations!) until september... and Marco LOVES tripe so now I know what to make when you come to see me!
LOL! Kalyn. Well, after working on all the memes, I'm all memed out. But if you can't find someone to tag... well... I guess you can tag me. I'll live. ;-) I've actually tagged you for another meme.
Same for you, too, Sailu. You've been tagged. Details above. Sailu, it's fun to watch them dance. ;-)

Ilva: I have a big smile on my face!!!
Paz
Wow Belly dancing! havent tried it.. but I would love to stress out my belly... and wear those sexy skirts - sophisticated cleopatra type. but I'm afraid my belly is very shy.. :-)
Paz, you and I have more in common than I thought! Rak sharqi eh? Me too! In fact I teach it. How funny. And why in the world did you tag me for the 7 meme one??!!! Why not a 1 meme or even the 3? 7? That's gonna tax me poor brain! LOL.
Hi Paz,
Thanks for tagging me! I will do mine later on but don't worry there's no secret in here...take care
Tin
Hi Grace: A shy belly? LOL! Your belly and other parts of your body will do just fine dancing, I'm sure. ;-) That's the fun thing about belly dancing for me -- anyone in any shape can do it. ;-)
MM: How cool that you're an instructor! I haven't danced in a long time. It's probably time for me to start again. ;-) Why did I tag you for the 7 meme? Misery likes company. No! Just joking. I know you're up for the task. You can do it! ;-)
Hi CJ: Looking forward to seeing your meme. Take your time!
Paz
Evil .. just pure evil ...
Hey, do you know Yousry Sharif since he is in NYC too?
No,MM. Who's he? Another blogger?
Paz
LOL! At the "evil" comment. mmmmuuuahhhhahahahaha! *evil laughter*
paz
Yousry? No! LOL, I cannot imagine him blogging! He's a very famous dance teacher and he lives in NYC. I wait every September to learn from him when he comes to Singapore.
Hi Paz - this was fun to read! I can't play any instruments, but I have taken belly dance classes in the past as well. I'm much better in salsa/merengue/bachata thou..
I was on Santorini in 2002 and enjoyed watching the sunset a lot. I'll be attending a wedding there this June and will thus be able to enjoy the sunset again. But this was nowhere as nice as watching the summer sunset around midnight on Estonian coastline..
You've been tagged to lots and lots of memes - impressive!!!
Hi Paz,
Thanks for tagging me! So I can choose any of the MEME week whichever I prefer to do?
I get back to you and let me know by email...
Thanks again!
Tin
I'm reading your memes from the top down. Again, wow!!! You used to belly dance? Play the flute? cello, piano and guitar?
That's it! It's official, you're an accomplished woman. I salute you.
Oh yes, i like tripe too. Had it a long time ago though.
Oh, yes, i forgot to add, i've done salsa class. Still doesn't beat belly dancing though... hihi x
LOL, MM: So Yousry is a dance teacher. Ahhh! That's pretty cool that he goes to teach in Singapore, too.
Pille! I've always wanted to take Salsa and the rest. Never did, though. That's so cool you can do all those dances!
You have a June wedding to attend on Santorini. Oh! You're so lucky!
I'd love to see an Estonian sunset, too.
Hey Tin! Looking forward to reading your meme when you're ready!
Hi Mae Gabriel: I don't know about being accomplished. I have a long way to go! I think it's really cool you've taken Salsa classes. I'd love to do that one day. I'll probably be the worst dancer there but I know I'll have fun. ;-)
Best,
Paz
