My friend Eric ‘tagged’ me, so I guess I’m supposed to write 7 things you may not know about me. I’ll give it a shot.
- I never graduated from High School, caused by a paralyzing fear of failure which prevents me from trying many things to do this.
- I am a published poet – in fact, my poetry has twice been selected as “Editor’s Choice” by the Internation Society of Poets.
- I have performed, at last count, 17 mercy killings for people with sick and/or dying pets. 9 dogs, 4 cats, 2 birds, and a lizard.
- I have written a number of “fanfic” episodes for Star Trek: The Next Generation
- I am ineligible for employment by the United States Government due to my involvement as a young man in a ring of programmers who turned out to be what the media today would probably call “cyber-terrorists”.
- I have, at some point in my life, read all
20 volumes of the OED (I want to say that at the time I read it, there were only 18 volumes).
- I am having incredible difficulty getting the Glasgow Haskell Compiler to build on SuSE Linux Desktop’s 64 bit distribution.
I feel like I’m cheating on that last one, but it was lig’s idea, and I really couldn’t think of a 7th interesting thing.
I’m also going to punt on “the rules”, which appear to be:
- Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
- Share seven facts about yourself in the post – some random, some wierd.
- Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
- Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.
I don’t care for the way that 3rd rule makes this game exclusive like an invitation-only party, but with the peer-pressure of a chain letter. So if you’re inclined to participate, consider yourself tagged by me and link back here. If you’re not so inclined, feel free to wipe your mind of this entire experience.
