Stuff About Me

I normally don’t do memes but Heather over at Geek Mom Mashup tagged me with a short and easy one. Since I have a lot of research to do before my next longish post I decided to do it.

The meme is: Seven Weird or Unique Things About Me

  1. I was part of the charter program in my school’s “gifted” program and was invited to apply to join Mensa by our Superintendent of Schools in fifth grade.
  2. I read books while driving (but at intersections with longish red lights).
  3. I have panic attacks if I run out of book before I can get another.
  4. I wrote some very popular gay erotica on Usenet back in 1987-1988 on a dare. (I was 19-20 years old at the time.)
  5. My earliest clear memories are from before I turned one years old.
  6. I once finger painted a butcher block in my sleep with food coloring paste.
  7. All car trips when I am the driver, no matter how short, will probably involve a different route to and from the destination.

Now, I think I am supposed to tag a few more people. So, lets try Claire at http://crpitt.blogspot.com, Alan at http://libdrone.info, Will at http://willtaft.com/blog, Mark at http://markstoneman.wordpress.com, and Anok at http://identitycheck-anok.blogspot.com.

Heather: I normally don’t do meme’s but I am thinking about my next post and it will take a while to form in my head so this gave me something to do.

I shall pretend I will do it, but then forget.

I really like the new template.

I got hit, I mean tagged, by this one or a very similar one a while ago. It is linked to my name and also here:
http://willtaft.com/blogging/ive-been-tagged-sort-of-8-facts-about-myself/

I never was able to bring myself to tag anyone, but it was fun writing the post.

I also really like your new template! Only thing I would suggest is the code to have the pings and trackbacks in a separate section below the real comments, rather than mixed in like comment #6.

John, I think the fact that you came to see what the blog was AFTER a card was denied rather than before attempting to place an ad says a lot.

If you are in Key West you’ve got nothing to complain about. :) Key West is my favorite town south of the Mason-Dixon line.
