Right, then:

10) I have fought off monkeys and boarded with monks.

9) As a child, had Shetland ponies named (shaking my head now) Thunder and Lightning.

8) I played the Town Pump in Vancouver.

7) There were only two TV channels where I grew up, both run partly by amateur volunteers. (A FOCUS slide inserted backwards says Suck Off, btw.)

6) I have extremely nimble toes.

5) Being raised Charismatic Catholic made a good all-round atheist of me.

4) I play hockey four times a week.

3) After thirteen years, I just keep finding my wife sexier every day. (Where will it all end?!)

2) I've played The Old Course.

1) I write lists about all and only those who do not write lists about themselves.

1. I was born more than a month after my due date, but my mom says the doctor goofed the math.

2. When I arrived, I had a full head of dark hair (rapidly greying now) and "dark steel" eyes which are now hazel.

3. I have a pleasant but decidedly nonprofessional singing voice.

4. I am pathologically afraid of lightning (astraphobia) but find photos and posters of lightning strikes exquisite.

5. I detest most egg dishes except my father's scrambled eggs and a certain elegant starter at Rover's so eggs are a rare pleasure all in all.

6. I was a test subject in a study of calcium absorption. It involved staying in a hospital, eating the same damn thing everyday, and defecating into a blender. I shit you not. The experience is also partly responsible for my dislike of eggs (see above).

7. I can curl my tongue into a tube. If anyone finds a useful purpose for this skill, please let me know. Or not.

8. One of my dreams is to successfully grow Chinese tree peonies.

9. I majored in neurobiology but at long last am a homemaker and hospital volunteer. I suppose that I really ought to have been a librarian though.

10. I am attractive to cats, which is good because I consider them beautiful if mercurial creatures, and bad because I'm allergic to them.

Next!

Great minds stink alike!

Ninjas used to practice this so that they could put a poisoned needle into the "tube", which nobody could see, and blow it into the complacent victim from close range.

I hear that assassins make good money!

You're welcome!

7) The only toys I liked as a really young child were books. I made my parents read them to me over and over until I learned to read on my own at four (at which point they breathed a sigh of relief

).

8) I have a bad habit of assuming that everyone around me already knows what I'm talking about, so that I'll say weird things sometimes and produce looks of total incomprehension.

9) I spend far, far more time on the Internet than watching television.

10) I love to write. I obsess about writing. If I can't write for some reason for a few days (even if it's just a few hundred words on something) I get easily distracted and very snappish.

Weirdness done.

wow Perchance, sounds like me...especially the solitude and writing. if i didn't carry a notebok
everywhere, i would be quite difficult to deal with. as it is, i find it hard to carry on casual conversations with people...i love people, but i feel like i'm quoting a novel at them when i talk, i don't want to chatter.

however, i love the heat. any temperature under 60 degrees is parka weather and just not worth it.
