Anniversary

They tell me that this is my official 50th post! It took me one year, five months, eight days, four hours and eighteen minutes to get that over with! Whew!

Though I'm obviously a blogging veteran (50 posts!), I have only recently started a second, much more geeky blog and am realizing that changes to one blog affect the other substantially. For proof, check out my profile to the right. Doesn't fit this blog. Sucky. Somehow, I think I'll figure it out :)

With my blogging absence of the past few months, I'd forgotten how fun it is to have comments file into the inbox...good times! It's great to be alive!

To all you faithful addicts (who still check my blog for changes, even after all this time), I salute you! Hurrah!

Wowsers

Not that I'm trying, but I think I lag behind only GK for blog delinquency. Yikes!

Well, now that I've read a couple of blogs once again I have an obligation to fulfill my "IT"-edness, especially since I've been tagged twice and have the red handprints on my back to prove it. I am genuine proof that the hocus-pocus of promised doom should you not divulge weird or random things is a bunch of hooey. So there. I am alive and well! Though not followed in the blogging world any longer:)

Six weird things about me:
#1
I have always thought it is funny when men refer to themselves as raging, hardcore lesbians (cause they like women). I can't think of a time that I've heard that and not laughed. Lame, but true.
#1a
I'm a raging, hardcore lesbian confined within the warm embrace of a lifelong partnership, which has been endorsed by the government and the church as a marriage.
#1b
I'm still laughing. Lame, but true.
#2
As a child, I collected GI Joe toys. Nothing unusual. That spread into watching the cartoons and collecting the comic books. Geeky, but not necessarily weird. In the last year, I have had at least two conversations with other adults in which I began talking of ninjas and ninja moves as though they are real (perhaps the concept of ninja is real, but I'm talking about the ninjas from GI Joe, since they're the entirety of everything I know about ninjas). One of those conversations included me acting out the moves. Weird-o.
#3
I have twelve toes.
#4
I am allergic to apples (pears, peaches - fruit that you eat the skin). Though this allergy exists only when the fruit is raw. If it is cooked, I'm good to go!
#5
Phones are scary to me. I've never considered therapy or anything, but I definitely have some kind of prohibitive anxiety when it comes to contacting people by phone. I rarely call anyone, except my wife. I'm immune when she's involved. Go figure.
#6
I wish I could be a Mixed Martial Arts fighter. This is weird because I can't stand getting hit in the head. Other than that, I think I could be good at it once I was in half decent shape! I've thought about joining an MMA gym to get into shape, since I know I could be interested in working hard at wrestling and submissions. That's the first step to the UFC for "Snitchy Switchy" Brent Thompson!! Of course, maybe it's all just related to being a ninja?

I tag no one. IT ENDS HERE!

Shalom.
