Ok, I was tagged by Randy (musketman,) and Page (shekinah.) I
love the idea, as I often do with this sort of thing. Some is a
rehash of things I have posted before, some is new, but now it's all in
one place.1) I can shake my eyes. I don't know how, it runs in my family, and whenever I meet someone who can also shake their eyes, we end up laughing so hard and going blind for a while. It's hard to describe what it looks like, and I can't tell you how I do it, I just can. It looks like my eyes are operating a jack hammer, while the rest of my body stands still. Best description I can come up with. 2) I have had several poems published. Not wierd in its own right, but every poem I have had published has been about slugs. That's not all I write about, but it's all I have ever had published. 3) I have had over 29 different jobs in the last 21 years. Some have lasted for years, some for days, one for four hours, but they were all very different. 4) I am famous for a quote. "A pint of good beer is worth half a credit in college philosophy." If you google my name and the word beer you will see it all over the internet. I said it nearly 20 years ago at a party. Someone apparently wrote it down. Thing is, I don't drink alcohol (anymore.) 5) I was an actor in highschool. I played Hamlet, in a 13 minute condensed version of the Shakespeare play, with a 2 minute further condensed encore. Other than that I have almost always played women. 6) While I am very artistic and efficient at creating things out of metal, glass, plastics, stone, clay, subatomic particles, and most other materials, I am really bad at making anything out of wood. I can't get a handle on wood grain. I have made beautiful things out of wood; I think they're called fires. Building anything from wood is difficult for me. Maybe if I threw it on a milling machine... As an aside, did you know that if you eat like a bird, that means you eat four times your body weight daily? I'll throw in an extra: When I was twelve years old, I came in second place to a pro football linebacker in a contest at eating beef ribs. I ate 23 of them. He ate 25. I weighed 130 pounds at 5'11". I don't know how much he weighed, but he was (much) bigger than me. There was no time limit, but it took me about an hour without getting up. How many ribs does a cow have anyways? Tag, you're it...
