Mdme. Stinkypaw tagged me to tell you four things about me you should know before inviting me to your house. And as I am nothing if not obedient, I shall oblige.
1. I am very polite. Too polite sometimes. So if I ask you if it's ok if I use your bathroom, or for a glass of water it's because I live in fear of just assuming that all of the toilets are in perfect working order, or that my host/ess considers their kitchen sacrosanct. I suppose I should have been born British. That being said, if I say make yourself at home in my house, I mean it. If you want to take off your shoes and take a nap on the couch that's groovy.
2. If you want me to come visit, ask me to come at a specific time. I am very bad about open ended invitations, and my innate shyness will prevent me from inviting myself. I'm kind of neurotic that way. So please, don't take my lack of 'hey, can I come over' as a lack of wanting to. I'm just not programmed to initiate the invitation. I don't know why.
3. That being said, if you are having a party, and the only person I would know is you, please don't invite me. I have always been uncomfortable in such situations, and the older I get, the worse it becomes. Even if I seem excited about the idea at first, as the hour of the gathering draws nigh I almost always start finding reasons why I just can't go. However, if there is even one other person that I know there that I can hang with, then that's cool.
4. Please don't ask me what I want to eat. I am perhaps the least picky eater on the planet(well, except for the freaks on Fear Factor) and if you go to the trouble to cook it, I'll eat it. Fix what you, and your family, like, and I will gladly eat of it. It is ok, however, to ask me what I don't care for, since that list is very short. Guts and beets are pretty much it. :-)
And there you have my house guest neuroses laid bare. Oh, and feel free to drop in any time. :-) (well, call first and give me a few minutes to tidy up a bit) ;-)
And now I pass the toe tags along: Turtle, Sheeps, Dmarks, and Pidgey, y'all are it! :-D
See ya soon,
Marius

Man, I hate it when I go to a dinner party and all they have are guts and beets. You just know the dessert is going to be green jello with bananas.
You sure read like a delightful guest! You're welcome over anytime, and if you ever make your way up north I will "formally" invite you with a date & time! ;-)
You will not have gutts but there might be some homemade beets...
Thanks for playing along!
Not aspie, are you?
My answers wouldn't be too different from yours.
Thank heavens we know each other long enough and well enough for you to make yourself at home (most of the time) when you're my most welcome houseguest! And you know, by now I hope, that you're always welcome!
Flurrious: LOL
Stinkypaw: I would love to come visit someday. And for you I would at least try the beets.
Erwin: Welcome to The Corner. :-) Aspie? I presume you are referring to Asbergers Syndrome? I only just heard about this last year, so I don't know if it applies to me, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Puddy: You know you are the exception to just about all of my rules. ;-)
More of the delightful Rudy please!
