10 interesting things...

bridget tagged me to post 10 interesting but little known facts about myself

i am not sure how interesting they are - but my guess is that they are not obvious...

1. i can juggle. i taught myself from a book i got out of the library when i was in high school. my guess is that this one fact is a microcosm of my whole life.

2. i did not learn to swim until my 40's. was pretty afraid of water until then - still am not very crazy about it. among other things, it was a good lesson for my kids in confronting fear. (btw - after examining bridget's qualifications for being a parent - i think i'd qualify under her regime - though it's a bit late now...)

3. i have a feather from the boa of hulk hogan framed in my basement. like a huge percentage of young kids i grew up watching pro wrestling. i still have a soft spot for pro wrestling - though not so much the current product - although i did have front row seats last summer in cleveland when i obtained the aforementioned feather. i attended wrestlemania iii in pontiac michigan. saw hulk hogan body slam andre the giant. in general, one of the most fun weekends of my life.

4. when i am bored i check my server referral log to see how many people hotlink to photos i have taken. quite a few folks do - esp. on myspace. apparently dandelions, my favorite flower (don't tell me they are weeds) are popular...

5. i'm kind of ambidextrous...

6. the song lyric that best summarizes me is:
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad

7. i have horrible eyesight to begin with and now have slight blurring in my left eye. the eye dr. said it is not serious and nothing they can do aout it, but i still find it terrifying...

8. self-pity might be my worst trait. i mean, i have to have pity for myself, i have no friends.

9. i miss 70's jazz fusion. back when there was originality and creativity and wasn't muzak...

10. the most trouble i ever got into in school was for eating pistachios...

i tag anyone who wants to - leave a comment if you post...
