So it seems that there is this insidious and unspeakably evil (of course) thing going around like some kind of supervirus wherein one person (in this case Lottie) gives a list of 20 interesting facts abut themself and then tags any number of other folks to do the same. Since I've been infected, here it is....
1) I started drinking and smoking when I was 9 years old.
2) I had to stop by the time I was 16 and have been sober since.
3) Years ago I broke both bones in my wrist by falling off of something I was sitting on that I shouldn't have been sitting on in a place I shouldn't have been. I caught my hand between two rocks as I fell and twisted my arm all the way around while my hand stayed still. The bones grew together crooked and I had to have it rebroken and pinned. I wasn't completely under when they did this and I got a pretty good look at the inside of my arm. I also have a big Frankenstein style scar on my wrist between the bones and under the scar you can feel that there is no meat between the bones. Oh, and running across that real scar, I now have a tattoo of stitches. Damn, that was a long one.....
4) I'm still legally married to the craziest woman I ever slept with. She lives a long way away though. Which is good. Unfortunately, she has my daughter with her. Which is bad.
5) Rogan's Kung Fu style is unorthodox.
6) I greatly enjoy quoting random movies at odd times.
7) I've lived in 4 cities over the span of my life. I started in Austin, moved to a small town an hour from there for a few years of elementary school, moved back to Austin until I was twenty, moved to Baltimore for just under a year, moved back to Austin, then moved here about thirteen months ago.
8) I raced BMX for a very short time as a kid. I was absolutely horrible at it.
9) I have worked with both kinds of trannies. When I was 13 my first job was as a porter at an Aamco transmission shop. Later I worked in two different jobs alongside some very disturbed transexuals.
10) I hate the vast majority of what passes for music in the world, and yet somehow one of my reasons for living is music.
11) Holy fuck this takes forever.
12) I still miss the first girl I ever loved even though I dumped her in a very cruel way. Hi Amy.
13) I'm a complete sucker for girls. I have done (and probably will continue to do) the stupidest things imaginable because a girl asked me to do them.
14) I've probably been in fewer fights than just about anyone I know and yet people always assume I'm a non-stop brawler.
15) I've been to jail twice, both for what could be termed "violence related offenses", but I'm one of the least violent people you're likely to meet, I just happen to have the worst luck possible.
16) I hang out in bars at least a couple of times a week, if not more. If this isn't interesting to you, go back and read number two again.
17) When I was a kid, I would sleepwalk. A lot. Sometimes I wandered around outside and woke up in the morning with dirt on my feet and sticks and leaves in my hair.
18) I had multiple rows of canine teeth grow in.
19) Add numbers 18 and 19 together along with the fact that I watched tons of old monster movies as a kid (still watch 'em, actually) and you may understand the reason why I was convinced that I was a werewolf for a couple of years when I was about 8 and 9.
20) I received a few small scholarships to pursue Art in college, one of which was presented to me at a rodeo. Imagine a senior in High School in 1990 in Central Texas, very heavily into Punk and Hard Core, with a devil lock down to his nipples, getting up at a rodeo just after Conway Twitty sang a few songs to be presented with a scholarship. Good times.
Hmmmmm, who here needs to be infected with this spreading plague now?
