25 Random Things

(Frenzied Feline tagged me on Facebook and since I needed a post ...)

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. I don't like my middle name.
2. My dad had seven sisters and one brother.
3. I fell and broke my arm in two places backstage before a production of Oklahoma! by the local community theater.
4. I have two laser pointers.
5. I hate washing dishes.
6. I like to cook.
7. I am a fan of The Closer, which I think might be the best show on television.
8. I don't like yellow or pink cars.
9. My first computer was a Tandy 1000. I saved for months to buy it.
10. My character on World of Warcraft is a mage.
11. I used to play Dungeons & Dragons in college. A group of my friends and I still get together and play every year or so.
12. I wrote myself in as a character in both Murder by Dewey Decimal and Murder by the Acre, but no one has ever figured who I am in the book.
13. There is a puzzle hidden in both books that no one has ever found.
14. One of my favorite shows is Last of the Summer Wine on PBS.
15. I also like Keeping Up Appearances and Are You Being Served?.
16. If something gets my attention, it is quite easy for me to become obsessed with it.
17. I think electric cars are the ultimate in cool.
18. I should have got married in college. That relationship was my last real chance.
19. I really think most doctors are only in it for the money. And I detest most of them.
20. I once accidentally dated a married woman. She didn't tell me she was married. I was very upset when I found out.
21. I've always lived in Oklahoma and proud of it.
22. If you'd like to enter a drawing to win a Murder by the Acre large coffee mug, tell me so in the comments on this post and you'll be entered. One person will win. I will have the drawing next week.
23. I have blue eyes.
24. I wear contacts and glasses because my vision is so bad.
25. Barq's root beer should be served in an ice cold mug. I like it that way and have my own mug.

And there is no way I can tag 25 people. If you want to do it, do it and let me know. Otherwise, have a great night and wonderful tomorrow. Night!

A mug you say? Waves wildly at the blue-eyed Alfred Hitchcock author who makes cameo appearances in his books.

I didn't know that regarding 12 and 13. I'm not going to attempt 13, because I'm terrible with those sorts of things. Twelve I might have to think about....

Enter me for the mug dude. I'll also do the 25 things on my blog (eventually)...it's crazy at work these days - bringing stuff home a lot (so that it can sit in my bag and not get done mostly - but bringing it home!)

::Waves back at Trixie:: You're entered!

Have fun, FF. And did you want to be entered in the drawing?

Adam, you sound busy. If you win the mug, be sure to take it to work and sip your coffee from it in all your staff meetings. :)

Put me in the drawing for the mug. Glad I found you today. Also, I love living in Oklahoma, too. D
