Where fort are thou...

Well I was just going to read blogs tonight and then post tomorrow about having 11 days off from work, but Amy had the sheer gall to tag me and far be it from me to not follow tradition and since it is an amusing tag, I will respond:

5 weird things about myself:

Wow what isn't weird about me.

1) I have a group of moles on my back that is the shape of a sword - one on my left shoulder, one on my right lower back, and three in the middle that always make me think that I have a broadsword slung on my back.

2) I have re-occurring serialized dreams with definite characters that I have been dreaming about since I was a child.

3) I was the Parks and Recreation Checkers Champion for the City of Las Vegas back in the late 70's.

4) I never went to 3rd grade, they promoted me directly to 4th grade after 2nd.

5) When I was 11 years old during a summer, I read Webster's dictionary, Guinesses' Book of World Records, the Old and New Testament, an Almanac, and Encyclopedia Britanica letter 'L' cover to cover, all within a month on a dare from one of my siblings.

I am not going to tag anyone, ...except for Martin, just to see what he comes up with.

Damn that's one serious dare you took on. Considering the bookworm you are, I bet you finished it well under one month.

Martin's been tagged twice! Won't he be happy. (Well Woman tagged him too)

Hope those re-occuring dreams don't include clowns in them. Clowns are scary.

I am thinking the moles boarders on TMI, but interesting nonetheless. I was overcome with amazement that you took thte tag! Get down with your bad self.

Quite the reading job, but it explains a LOT.

I can see you taking that dare. I just don't imagine you sleeping any. Yeah, that's tag #2 for the same thing. This means I am going to have to post this before I head out tonight. Then again, we all know that all tags die with me hahaha.

Yup, I could have done without the info on the moles...

But I'm impressed with the reading. I read almost an entire set of encyclopedias at about that age, and I read a lot of the dictionary... but I would have never taken on the Bible! Heck, I could never get past the 'begat' section (although, Song of Solomon was pretty cool ;o) )

Merry Christmas!!!

lora -- clowns are scary? Bozo is the thing of nightmares?

Amy -- Why are moles too much info, they are on my back for goodness sake...

Mart -- I just wanted to see what your answers were so I figured I would give you a little extra pressure.

RT -- I am an avid bookwork. At the time Itook the dare I was going to the public library and checking out 10-15 books every 2 weeks and reading them. Ahhh the days of Mary Poppins and Mrs Piggle Wiggle, discovering Heinlein and Norton, finding the softporn science fiction novel,...oh wait thats another story...

Yes, Bozo is what nightmares are made of. Seriously. Clowns freak me out.

We have a jenius here. I always knew it. It's good someone out there is smart enough for me and a few of my friends too. :)

We need to give you an authentic Ninja name. Ninja's don't even have that!

I had re-occurring dreams when I was younger. Three of them. All nightmares. I hated them.

2nd and 4th grade were better than 3rd grade anyway. Not that I remember. Although, I do know my teacher was Mrs. Esquibel.

Jenn he doesn't need an ego boost. He has an IQ of 168 and tries to be humble about it :) hahahahahah

I am humble

Good Lord, 168? I can't even count that high! And you read my blog? What the hell's wrong with you? My many commas and spelling errors probably make you quiver! I know all the commas make Mexi quiver.

Oh damn. I'll consult with you ahead of time next time, Teri!

Is Teri a jenius, too?

Haha, NICE! Come to think of it, I'm a common sense jenius. Thanks to you I can now say that! See, I'm not THAT stupid.
