This is all Mit’s<\/a> fault. Well it is: she’s the one who tagged me with this meme. Eight things indeed…it gets a little easier when I look at the actual rules and realize that it’s “eight random facts or habits” not necessarily “eight things no one knows about me.” That second one: a little difficult but only slightly more difficult than differentiating between “things about me” and “things I think” has been.<\/p>\n

So…the rules:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.<\/li>\n
  2. Players start with eight random facts\/habits about themselves.<\/li>\n
  3. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.<\/li>\n
  4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.<\/li>\n
  5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment on their blog telling them they’re tagged, and you read their blog.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Facts:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. I used to have hair down to my ass. Plaited my braid was as thick as my wrist is wide. I miss it. I cut it all off because of a girl and haven’t felt as powerful since. Lessons learned: 1) all those psychologists who equate long hair with childish femininity are FOS<\/acronym>, and 2) never cut your hair unless you want to for reasons you fully understand yourself.<\/li>\n
    2. I read the same book every year in December: Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather<\/em>. It reminds me that the mid-winter holidays are about something way more important than plastic, motion-activated, pedophile-looking Santa Claus faces that play The Little Drummer Boy<\/em> in 8 tinny notes over and over and over again until you want to smash them with a hammer.<\/li>\n
    3. I got my first e-mail address 22 years ago. I still have it.<\/li>\n
    4. I took woodshop and home ec during the same year in junior highschool. As a result I can both build a bookcase and make my own cannoli. I see nothing at all contradictory about this state of being. I should mention that I did fail the sewing unit; sewing your shirt to the pattern will do that every time.<\/li>\n
    5. I’ve done sound mixing for commercials for three major Presidential campaigns, several gubernatorial campaigns, and recorded one independent feature film.<\/li>\n
    6. I am on my second career path. If I had to choose a third I’d probably choose baker. The hours suit me and I’m good with flour.<\/li>\n
    7. I haven’t balanced my check book in 15 years.<\/li>\n
    8. I have been published three times but never paid. I’m hoping to change that soon.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      All of that said number 9 is this: I do not have eight people I feel I can tag with this. I have tagged:
      \n      Sal<\/a>
      \n      Lolly<\/a>
      \n      M.Luminous<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
