I’ve Been Tagged

Laurie, at For Heaven’s Sake has tagged me and I’m supposed to write six facts about myself. This could be scary. Viewer discretion is advised.

1. I once lived in a teepee, stopped shaving my legs and armpits (TOLD you it was scary!), milked goats, and carried a hunting knife strapped to my thigh. Unsuccessful at shedding every remnant of civilized life, I installed stained glass in the crescent moon which I cut in the door of my outhouse.

2. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a model–a fact that causes me to alternately cackle hysterically or burn with humiliation whenever I think about it now. I still have notebooks where I recorded the measurements of my calves. This was pre-hairy-armpit days, and I actually put foundation makeup under there to disguise the stubble.

3. My IQ is in the genius range. This has quite a bit to do with my distrust of tests in general.

4. I have really ugly elbows, so I’m self-conscious about everyone standing behind me at church when I’m wearing short sleeves. Do not try to psychoanalyze this. It’s not in the books. I looked.

5. I don’t do anything very well. I do almost everything adequately.

6. I carry a computer in my pocket. I’ve been known to pull into a rest area, just to check my email. Digital electronics soothe my soul.

Now that you’ve been so enlightened, I tag . . . you, Genesis!
