7 Mortal Si -- er, 7 Random Thingies

I too got tagged for randomosity, by Ms. Huis.
Alas, I don't even have 7 peeps to tag that aren't already tagged. So I'm breaking that rule!

Anyway, here are 7 things you probably don't know about me:

1) For some time in sixth grade, I wore sweat pants. No jeans, no "slacks" (I hate that word). Just sweat pants.

2) A friend and I once (freshman year of college) tried to start up a pyramid scheme like those advertised frequently in tabloids and the like. We failed to check our rented post office box for some time, only to find the rejection of our ad sitting there for several weeks.

3) I have never broken a bone, and I didn't have to get a filling until I was 26. (I did get glasses in 2nd grade, though.)

4) I am a short-distance reader. I can cover a few sentences quickly, but I get winded and slow to a crawl over the long haul.

5) When I was little (under 5, I think), I tried to snuff out a candle with a piece of paper. In doing so, I ended up lighting the carpet on fire. (Mom put it out.)

6) I do not believe in the existence of any deity-type being. I do actually believe in a cosmic energy not unlike the "Force" as presented in the Star Wars films (though without the Jedi).

7) I think that tomatoes (except in sauce form), okra, and turtlenecks for men are the root of all evil. Those, and greed.

Hey about #3 - me neither, not yet (fingers crossed), and 3rd grade!

(Thanks for playing!)

#1 I remember that. It doesn't seem as if you were quite as notable for wearing sweatpants as a kid named Elliot, who, if I recall correctly, was paid by classmates in Mrs. Johnson's class to actually wear something other than sweatpants.

#6 This reminds me of cheating and copying each others sermon notes during confirmation classes. You ended up not believing in a deity and I ended up being a casual Eposcopalian. Go figure.
