Viral meme infection
The singular Patty Jeres just tagged me with a blog chain letter! Dang. Here's the rules:
1. Back when Patty still worked for DC, every time I saw her at the DC booth I'd give her a big hug and kiss on the forehead. She's a little shorter than me so that was the natural place to smooch!
2. A few years back I almost started working for Les Humanoïdes Associés through their LA office. Then they went through some financial chaos back in France, closed their US offices, and that was that.
3. I sing horribly, but the one time I sang karaoke people were pleased and surprised. The surprising bit? I can sing pretty well when I imitate Patsy Cline.
4. I've been arrested once, when a friend drew on a subway car. When the cops came for us at the station my friend ran. I just stood there, knowing they didn't have anything on me , so my pal could get away. He was pretty loyal so he came back for me and got arrested. I spent about three hours in jail, was released, and was propositioned by prostitutes as soon as I got on the sidewalk. Only time that's happened too.
5. I'm addicted to good dark chocolate. I like milk chocolate, but it's like giving a Pepsi to a heroin junkie.
6. I can't speak Korean. I can't even say "hello" on the telephone properly! ("Annyong Haseyo" [an-young hah-say-oh])
7. I dislike owning a car. It's a lot of bother and bills.
8. During my sophomore year of art school I decided to stop cussing. I had to start again a few years later because I felt like an idiot yelling "Aw fudge!"
9. Every year I resolve not to eat fast food french fries and hamburger patties. I still eat hand cut fries and hand formed patties.
10. In high school some cute girls learned I didn't have a middle name and gave me one: Edward.
11. I've been to San Diego, Seattle, and Vancouver on the west coast. I've never been to LA or San Francisco.
12. In my 30s I've been going through hairstyles that I'll be too old to carry off in my 40s. I shaved my head before it became a way to hide male pattern baldness. Now I'm growing it out.
13. My hair is very coarse and stiff. I've had a few women express shock when they've touched it. Fortunately, Lisa doesn't seem to mind!
14. I have no idea what to say when I meet a celebrity. I have sometimes stared in a way that seems to make them nervous, even from a distance! I wish I was good at talking up strangers.
15. I'm really patient with my art. I get my ass kicked at strategy games because I'm too impatient there. Charge!
16. My wife made me watch every episode of Sex and The City. Sadly, I started to like it...
I'll have to get back to work. I'll infect 12 innocents with this meme later!
Here's how you play: Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 16 weird, random things, facts, habits or goals about yourself. At the end, choose 12 people to tag, listing their names and why you chose them. Don't forget to leave them a comment (You're It!) and tell them to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you, so let me know when you've posted your blog, so I can check it out...So, what are 16 things most folks don't know about me?
