8 Random Things About Me...

So, I got tagged by Charles French to do an "8 Things..." posting somewhere. The first thing (the zeroth item?) I should say is that I HATE WRITING ABOUT ME! This is why I'm probably doomed as a blogger. But anyway, and without further ado..

8 Things About Me you Probably Didn't Know!


I have never been on a third date.

Whenever I hold someone’s baby I begin to itch. I believe that I would break out in hives if forced to hold the child too long. I never plan to test this.

In high school I drove a Datsun B210. My friends dubbed it the Smut-mobile and my locker at school was dubbed the Smut Hut. This was in spite of the fact that my addiction to porn would not manifest for at least another decade.

I had a crush on the same person from 7th grade all the way through my senior year in high school. Nothing ever came of it.

When watching TV or listening to the radio and something strikes me as funny I laugh, out loud. On the rare occasions when I have house guests, they always seem to find this fact odd.

I have a half sister. We do not speak.

I am sick and tired of living in Dallas. After 11+ years I’ve come to the conclusion that it is a nice place to visit but a pretty awful place in which to live. It is unlikely that I’ll be moving away any time soon.

In my mother’s house there is stored a clarinet and a tenor saxophone. I played both back in junior high school. I haven’t picked either up since choosing the football team over the band when I was in 10th grade.

And there you go.

Never a 3rd date? Why?

No particular reason. Just never happened.

I'm trying to get to Dallas and you are trying to leave...wanna trade places with me in the cornfields?

Perhaps Dallas just needs an AnnOhio to make it more livable? Shrugging, not sure, but that's the direction I'm heading..so Dallas/Ft Worth had better look out!

I liked reading your 8 things and enjoy getting to know a little bit more about you beyond 140 characters!

Ann, Dallas isn't really the worst place I've ever lived it is just that place I've lived in and am now ready to be FROM. My goal? Pacific NW or Atlantic Canada. Those are the places I'd love to be.
