25 Things About Me

I’ve been tagged for this a few times and never done it. Well, here ya go, everyone! Let the crossposts begin! I’ve tried to dig out stuff that I don’t write about much.

1. I am NOT an angry person. I just sound that way. Venting keeps my blood pressure low. :-)
2. I’ll eat anything but insects or entrails (exception: bible tripe in phở).
3. I have a degree in Spanish w/ French minor.
4. I’ve been an optometric technician.
5. I’ve studied to be a herbalist.
6. I’m an avid birdwatcher. 50+ species in my backyard, thankyew.
7. I’ve become an Agnostic over the years. I believe there’s Universal power, but I can’t get much past that. I do like to be in Circle, but I don’t practice Wicca on my own. I think the Law of Attraction works.
8. I briefly toured with a couple of bands as a roadie in the 80s.
9. I have a Music Business AA from the Art Institute.
10. I can drive anything with wheels and gears.
11. I’m a shitty gardener. My yard is Darwinism at its best.
12. I’ve always wanted to be an Artist (capital A) but have NO talent. I am more crafty than artsy. Shuddit, Nick!
13. My family owned several steak houses in the 80s.
14. I make charitable contributions several times a year.
15. I’m not competitive.
16. I’m not jealous.
17. I can’t stand dishonesty, indecision or lack of character. It all leads to DRAMA. No thanks.
18. My hair was strawberry blonde as a child then it became brown. I’ve not seen my natural hair color since 1987. Squeee!
19. I have fired an Uzi. They suck. AKs are MUCH better.
20. I don’t believe in ADD or ADHD. It’s bullshit created by drug companies.
21. I want to learn to speak Chinese (Mandarin).
22. I wanted to be an art restorer but it requires an advanced chemistry degree.
23. I owned a 1979 VW Beetle convertible (baby blue w/ white top) in High School.
24. I have a knack for finding good deals on cars and real estate.
25. I can sew enough to get by. I can’t make complicated stuff, but I do okay at skirts, curtains and repairs.
