7 Random Things

Melissa Pierce, tagged me in a rotating blog meme that states I need to outline 7 random/odd things about me. I’d just like to state for the record that it is incredibly difficult to come up with new and original random/odd facts about me when I’ve already listed out so many here. Having posted that, the following fulfills my obligation to the meme deities…

  1. Apparently, I snore insanely and irritatingly loud.
  2. Everything I know about how to relate to people (and, in a similar vein, acting) I learned from participating in ComedySportz starting in my sophomore year of high school. Prior to that, I had a very difficult time making friends and small talk. Not that I’m a genius now, but you can only imagine how bad I used to be. ComedySportz sparked a love of performing so much that if I had the financial means to not work for a couple of years, I would enroll in Second City and pursue being a sketch comedian.
  3. Logan is named after Wolverine. Her sister, Evie, was not named after the heroine in V for Vendetta, but I’ll run with it because it backs up my geek cred.
  4. I taught myself Flash before I learned one lick of HTML and JavaScript.
  5. I cry at movies like all the damn time. I’m a sucker for melodrama. I hate myself for doing it; recognize I’m doing it when I’m doing it but I can’t stop myself.
  6. Guitar Hero aside, I really suck at video games. Almost as much as I suck at physical competition.
  7. I have a tattoo of the Rebel Alliance symbol on my right shoulder. What most people don’t know is that it ALMOST was the logo for Van Halen. Suzy put her foot down on that idea, and we are both much happier because of it.

I tag:

  3. Oh man…this is going to take weeks. I’m so slow with my blogging. I do wonder why Brian’s blog is surf controlled for me at AE when nearly nothing else is. Hmm.

  4. Your internet chain letters do not frighten me!

    I will consider an appropriate response. It will come without warning.

  6. See when I see Logan I think Logan Tom, Stanford and US Olympic Volleyball standout. Ever since Logan was born and you told me her name I’ve just invisioned her growing up to be this tall, beautiful, killer volleyball player. :)

    • @Meg,

      I can see that in her future; but how I visualize both Logan and Evie’s adulthood is subject for a completely different post.

  7. I just posted mine, Aaron. Am I the first of the people you tagged? Took me a while, but I got ‘er dun.

    • You’re the first. It’s a good thing I didn’t put a hex on anyone in this meme.
