shaver

OK, Deb, you win. I should be doing something else, but until the Dayquil kicks in I’m not likely to be able to do so.

The Rules

• Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post. (see above)
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post. (see below)
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs. (see below)
• Let them know they’ve been tagged. (you’ll just have to trust me)

The Seven Things

1. I, too, figure skated when I was younger, to mild success. I don’t believe there are pictures of it on the web, which is OK.
2. I once wrote a multi-user email system on top of DOS batch files, without the use of a text editor (copy con: represent).
3. In high school, I was an avid member of the school’s technical theatre (and assembly, and school dance, and gaffer-ball varsity) club — avid to the point that I only narrowly managed to actually graduate from high school.
4. I married my high-school sweetheart.
5. I do not like to eat coconut- or banana-flavoured things, with a few exceptions like coconut milk in curries because what sort of animal do you think I am anyway? For the past 18 months or so, though, I have been trying to train myself to tolerate, if not enjoy, suchly-flavoured things so that I don’t unwittingly pass my aversion on to Claire. (See also: snakes, though not in a culinary sense.)
6. I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 29.
7. I have lived at 21 addresses in 10 cities.

7 people, all of whom I believe share my disdain for such things to some degree

• Vlad, for taking care of me in Serbia.
• Mom, for taking care of me.
• Phil, for never disguising his contempt for the stupid.
• Hoye, ibid.
• Dave, for teaching me to teach.
• Kev, for being the photographer, bbqer and responsible adult I’d like to be some day.
• George, for being George.
