The ‘8 Things’ Meme
Since I have been preparing for VACATION, I am a bit behind lately in a lot of things. Apparently my blog is one of them, as I was tagged by Lisa for the ‘8 Things’ meme a while ago. I suck. This should be done already! I think I may have subconsciously been putting it off. I mean really, 8 things you don’t know about me? Come on, I blog the opening of an envelope. I have to wrack my brain here!
Hrm. I need to just jump in, eh? We’ll see what comes to me.
1. I have a mole on my right arm. It has been there since birth. My mom has always said that it was how she felt sure that the hospital never switched babies on her. I hate that mole. It grows freaky hair.
2. I don’t eat fruit. Or nuts actually. Doesn’t that seem odd? Especially for a gay guy. No fruit or nuts Heh. Seriously though, I think it’s a ‘texture’ thing. Fruit grosses me out. Especially apples and oranges. Ew. And bananas are so slimy. Don’t get me started on watermelon. Vile. I am cool with legumes though. Peanuts rock my taste buds!
3. When I was growing up we moved a lot. My dad followed the work, and that meant a lot of schools for us. I never could fit in and hated going to school all my life. Kids are bastards.
4. I love video games, but rarely have the attention span to finish them. I am usually cool with ‘I almost finished that one’. There was one I played for weeks and weeks. It had a story line and was amazing. I loved it. At least until I got stuck in like level eighty five. I had it saved, but kept dying. So I’d start at the last save, and die over and over. After the 5th or 6th time I was done. I had ‘almost won’ and that was better than level eighty five… I have stopped buying games..
5. I am ticklish. Too ticklish in fact. It can hinder me in other activities sometimes.
6. As a kid, I used to pick on my cousin a lot. I don’t know why. She was fun to hang out with. I must have been mean to her cause the kids at school were mean to me. I don’t know. Anyway, her mother used to tell her to ignore me when I teased her. I took care of that one by inventing a disease. The ‘Ignories’. I would do a little song about how she had the Ignories and how awful it was. It brought her to tears every time. Heh. I was good. I mean, bad! That was mean of me!
7. I do not swim.
8. I chew my fingernails. Isn’t that gross? I try to limit it. I mean, I work with the public yo. No fingers in the mouth at work! But still. Clean finger nails or not, makes for ugly hands. Anyone ever stopped successfully? How’d ya do it?
There. Now that I look like a freak! Hahahah. That wasn’t so bad. Only took me 2 days to think of it all.. 
I won’t tag anyone other than Shel, the guest author. Heheh.
The ‘IT’ List.
Aw Frankie.. You shouldn’t have. Really. I mean it.. You shouldn’t..
Kidding! I kid!! I love being tagged by a meme…
Anyhoo, this one is called the ‘IT’ meme. I don’t know why. Does the title mean ‘IT’ as in ‘this is IT, no more memes? Prolly not. Heh. I should just get started. The idea is to list 10 random yet interesting facts about my life, and tag ten some other bloggers at the end of the post. Okay. I can handle it. Interesting things you say? Hrm. *thinks*
Ow.
I have a scar on my face from when a candelabra fell off the headboard due to the movement of the bed during… erm… relations. (Does that work for interesting?)
I am terrified of being buried alive. I don’t know how it would ever happen, but still.
I once had to step over a dead homeless person to get to class (back in college)
I have been with my man for nearly 10 years. Not news to anyone, but interesting.
When I learned to ‘wolf whistle’ I first whistled at a guy walking down the street in a half-shirt. What? I was very young and it was the eighties!
Back when I was in like a daycare-babysitting situation (going waaay back for this one) the baby-sitter’s teenage son used to show his dick to all the little girls. He said it was a frog. I knew better. And I was pissed that he wouldn’t ever let me see. Now that I look back, someone should have called the police on that fucker.
Now that I think about it, I really should have figured out the gay thing much earlier in life. I must have been in denial, cause I came out at nineteen.
I find Rob Morrow extremely hot. As in hawt.
At one point Richard and I had 2 birds, a hamster, the fish tank, and the 2 cats. I felt like I lived on the arc. Oddly it was when we were in the smallest apartment too.
I can be really shy.
There. Fascinating AND pervy! Perfect! So about that tagging thing. Frankie took tagged some of my peeps already. Ten’ll be too hard… We’ll do Liar Liar, David, sb.SUPERSTAR, Pandora, Darryl, and Scott.

Five Things You Don’t Know About Me
This meme brought to you by the lovely Charlie of Translucence.
Good lawd. Where do I go here? I mean, I blog everything. I’ll blog the opening of an envelope for cry-eye. Let’s see. 5 things you DON’T know already.. Sheesh!
1) I joke around here about my OCD, but it is frighteningly real. Every time poor Richard moves anything, even a half an inch, I immediately spot it and move it back. We fight about it all the time. Don’t get me started on the rest. It’ll make YOU crazy.
2) I worry a lot about one of my friends. You know when people will ‘drop off the radar’ for a bit? Normal right? But when a certain friend of mine does that I really worry, to the point where I lose sleep. (Does that count as a ‘thing’?)
3) I read your blog everyday if I link to you. Even if I don’t comment.
4) You know when you first start learning about anatomy? When you were young? They had that model where the organs all pulled out one by one and the teacher passed them around and pointed at the next and all? I had to sit with my back turned it upset me so much. I still have to cover my eyes during Grey’s or various CSI’s. And that guy with the insides drawn on his leotard? He was grotesque.
5) I often like complete silence. I will sit with nothing on and stare at a wall and be quite content. My brain needs the downtime.
I think I’ll tag Sue from the beloved Antisocialite next… She seems like she’d have a secret or two…
