Tag, I'm it.

Spreading across LiveJournal like WarPox spread across Earth in my Concordat setting, I've been tagged with the Ten Weird Things Meme by [livejournal.com profile] fearsclave.

Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks!


1. My sister and I were both born on the 4th of July, five years apart. At the time of our births, our father was still a British citizen.

2. I have a strange fear of dropping things down elevator shafts. I've never actually done it, to the best of my recollection, but I will go to great lengths to make sure that I never do drop something there.

3. When I drink, I prefer straight-up Jack Daniels and a beer. Never been one for mixed drinks.

4. My toes are extremely long and dexterous. I have used them to hold pieces of a rifle while cleaning it in the field.

5. The first time I ever drove a car was when I was 15. My best friend was so drunk he couldn't stand, and I had to drive his father's treasured 20-year old Lincoln home.

6. I once insulted Ted Nugent to his face.

7. A few weeks after I was born, my family was adopted by a stray cat (named "Kitty" by my then four-year old big brother.) Kitty thrived and was part of our lives for my entire childhood. She passed away only after I left home for Basic Training.

8. I love most British comedy, but Benny Hill has always left me cold.

9. I was at the launch of STS 51-L

10. I shoot left-handed unless the weapon is a scoped rifle, the I automatically adjust and shoot rightie.

Tagging? I don't do that. Consider all yourselves to be tagged. Or not.

You insulted Ted Nugent to his face?!?! What did you say? What did you say?!?!

FWIW, Benny Hill was leaving me cold *way* before I ever left Britain.

I actually managed to drop my glasses down the shaft of the Hollywood Tower Of Terror at Walt Disney World.

I was also at the launch of STS 51-L. I was 9. I was sure that they had all escaped...

Interesting the way you shoot. Are you a lefty? Presumably you're right-eyed...
