Not one to let Hubbard down, here goes.
1. Let others know who tagged you.
2. Players post 8 random facts about themselves.
3. Those who are tagged should post these rules with their 8 facts.
4. Players should tag 8 other people and notify them they have been tagged.
1) Despite 2 years of advanced Lit classes in High School and 4 years of college I have never read Moby Dick – yet I could probably tell you the entire plot from various Simpsons, Futurama or Star Trek allegories. However, at last count, I have read The Lord of the Rings 12 times, Dune 6 times and The Watchmen twice. I guess its all about priorities.
2) I have a collection of ceramic portraits of various communist luminaries adorning the wall of my apartment – including Marx, Engles, Lenin, Stalin and Mao. I also own a 3ft tall bronze statue of Mao. Despite this I do not endorse either Communism or Genocide. (Thanks for the cool stuff, Mom.)
3) I am absolutely terrible at remembering names. This serves me very well in a business in which my primary job is to meet people at parties and remember their names the next day.
4) If I could do anything for the rest of my life it would be to write Fantasy and/or Science Fiction novels. The only things standing in my way are 1. I can’t spell. 2. My grammar is horrible. 3. I’m not a particularly good writer.
5) I have a soft spot for cheesy romantic scenes in films and television and have been known to enjoy the occasional Hugh Grant/Reasonably Attractive Actress movie.
6) Once in middle school I wore a t-shirt with Ronald Regan’s face on it over the caption “Remember when America had a real president?” – I still haven’t figured out why this wasn’t considered cool.
7) I only wear black Adidas Gazelle sneakers which are nearly impossible to find – the last time I found pairs in my size I bought 6 of them and keep them in the back of my closet as spares.
I have fallen in love exactly twice in my life. Neither of which turned out terribly well. Despite this I remain a hopeless romantic.
