Okay, before I get down to the business of writing, first some writing business. I was tagged a few times by various people, the most vehement and unyielding ("You will be doing this") was [info]writeanya, so I'll give her first props for causing the list to be.

The idea of this meme is to write 10 random facts about oneself and then pass it on. However, the social experiment results show that as 10 random facts could be along the lines of "My first name is William. I am a web developer for now", in actuality the list ends up being 10 random and somewhat unknown, surprising, philosophical or profound facts about oneself.

I shall use that then as my meme.
  1. I helped catch a serial rapist and was thanked public ally (but anonymously) on the local news.
  2. Bob Hope once hit me with a golf cart.
  3. I loved the smell of gasoline so much as a kid, I used to beg my father to take me to the gas station, where he'd fill up the tank and I'd sit by the fuel and inhale deeply. Probably explains more than I'd like to admit. I also go apeshit over the smell of fresh, rich soil, patchouli, and cedar. I'm doomed to be a hippie.
  4. I was once photographed at college with a squirrel on each shoulder and one of my head, all sharing my lunch.
  5. Every woman I've dated has owned and worn a bowler hat.
  6. I have one personal secret, just one, that nobody knows.
  7. I used to be deathly afraid of bees. I'm still pretty jumpy around them. Ask [info]drshorn about the egg-salad, plate incident. I do like [info]beegirl, though.
  8. I am the last in my family line. I don't intend to have children. My last name will end with me.
  9. I once went from Columbus to Vegas, non-stop in a Winnebago full of fourteen people. It slept ten. Twin Peaks played on a continuous loop the whole trip and I remember none of it. We almost died twice in Nevada. One night in Vegas, I dressed in women's clothing and full makeup. The next day, I won 800 dollars on a single dollar coin and paid for my entire trip. I learned never to move the beds in Circus Circus because of what is under them. On the way back, a propane leak caused all of us to become deathly ill and groggy. The trip changed my life and it's one of the best things that ever happened to me.
  10. I once had sex while driving a car.
  11. I'll never grow up. Ever. Sometimes it's fun to break the rules.

Okay, I tag: [info]monagrrl, [info]streamsandpools, [info]beckyb, [info]laverick, and [info]outintexas.

You and I share number 8.

Am I allowed to re-use that? Or does it not count now?
