Leap Year 2008

Friday, Feb. 29, 2008 - 12:08 a.m.

Happy Leap Year!

If you have a manually operated wristwatch that needs to be adjusted, go ahead. I'll wait.

Happy birthday to my favorite curler, Pete Fenson.

And happy birthday to one of my teachers -- David Myriad Rosenbaum.

Ten Weird Or Strange Things About Me

Well, Requiel tagged me yesterday, so let me see if I can come up with something I haven't already written.

1. I can write backwards nearly as fast as I can forward. Both hands have to be going at once. My left hand writes backwards and my right hand writes forwards.

2. I have one of every flavor currently made of Dum Dum Pops in a plastic bag somewhere in the drawers my electronic piano keyboard is sitting on.

3. I can make chicken soup from scratch.

4. With one exception in 1991, during my adult life, I have managed to pee on any mattress I have ever slept on for more than ten days in a row. Although now that I think of it, the exception was actually a futon mattress fitted into a waterbed frame, so I might actually have an unblemished record here.

5. When I was little, I used to spend a few minutes once in awhile, looking over my shoulder as fast as I could, to see if I could catch the set-builders working on my universe a la The Truman Show. After I finally saw them, I quit doing this. Heh.

6. My second favorite book is A Girl Of The Limberlost by Gene Stratton-Porter.

7. I only learned how to read music two years ago, and not very much.

8. I used to pretend that Carol Burnett was my mother.

9. The Christmas tree is still up in the living room. One of the strings of lights gave out, but it's still up because it's pretty even in indirect light.

10. I enjoy Nilla Wafers dunked in Gerber baby peaches and sprinkled with Bac Os. Ewwie. But it's really good.

That's about it. Have a good Friday, and if you're female, you get to go and propose to your man today.
