Tagged by Precious Metal - Very Belated!!!!
Sooo - way back in December I got tagged to do a meme by Precious Metal. Sounds like fun, I was just up to my eyeballs. Still am, but I'm moving the stuff around me a bit - making breathing room. Anyway, even though it's quite late - thought I'd participate....
The rules --
• Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules on your blog.I think I'm going to not tag other folks, as late as this is, and as many people as I've found who've already done this. However, here are my responses:
• Share 7 random or weird things about yourself.
• Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs
• Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
7 Random or Weird Things about Me
- Spent a while working at a zoo when I was a lot younger - did many different jobs, many of them grunt jobs, so I can identify more kinds of poo than probably anyone you'll ever meet.
- I am a Cold War Air Force brat - my Dad did "nuclear stuff" for a long time when I was a kid, and my birth in the Netherlands is directly related to that. You should see how much paperwork I have to take to the DMV to prove I'm an American citizen. ;P
- I haven't been able to do it in years for lack of opportunity, but I was pretty good at Irish dancing. Used to go with a friend every Tuesday to dance at O'Flaherty's Irish Channel Pub in New Orleans (sadly closed down in 2005). I had a lot of friends and acquaintances that were tarot readers or street performers in the Quarter, and I once danced with a drunk clown in full Scottish formal dress (think kilt). His clown shoes kept crushing my feet. o.0
- I spent more than half a decade living in England - I had a dear elderly friend who used to take me to see the vicar at St. Mary's church when we lived in Grundisburgh (roughly pronounced Grun-dis-bor-o). This late medieval church is the first one I ever attended services at and tends to be the one I use as a bench mark. ^_^
- My oldest domain name is going on 13 years old.
- I was stalked in an amusement park when I was 13.
- I've taken to wearing wedding bands on both my ring fingers - a habit I picked up when I was living/studying in Austria for a little while, where folks wear their wedding rings on their right hands. Anyway, they're both simple thin gold bands and I feel more symmetrical this way....

Thanks for sharing the personal facts, interesting stuff.
Thanks for the comment, Gregor, I was feeling a bit exposed and goofy! ^_^
Glad to see you back at "it," as well - hopefully I'm at it for good this time too!!
Nah, don't feel goofy.
It was cool, showed your unique personality.
Gassho,
Greg
