ok, this is a two-for-one update. first of all, i got new glasses! they look like this:
second, corriander tagged me with that whole 20 things thing, so here you go:
1) My first real memory was of losing my sock monkey down the crack between my bed and the wall. It was traumatic, and may explain my current deep distrust of monkeys.
2) I have never broken a bone in my life.
3) I almost died twice when I was a kid, both times due to asthma attacks brought on by dehydration and flu. It sucks to be involuntarily hallucinating, and then suddenly be unable to breathe. Total buzzkill.
4) I used to have long hair and wear leather knee-high moccasins. And sometimes vests and lots of necklaces. I was also fairly cranky at the time, if I remember correctly. I call that time my "Angry Hippie Phase".
5) I once had a non-erupted molar moved from the middle of the roof of my mouth. While they had me knocked out to remove my wisdom teeth, the surgeon cut a hole in the roof of my mouth, cemented a bracket to the tooth, and then attached a gold chain to the bracket. Every time I visited the orthodontist for several months thereafter, they'd tighten the chain and pull the tooth a little closer to being in line. It worked perfectly, but it wasn't the most comfortable thing I've ever experienced.
6) I like fountain pens. and pocket watches. and gadgets of almost any type.
7) 8 years ago, I created an entirely new alphabet for a story I was working on. I still remember how to write in it.
8) I own a first edition of Dune. i swiped it from my mom. it's cool, she knows. but she's not getting it back.
9) I once crashed a motorcycle. During a motorcycle safety course.
10) I drive an audi, but i pine (PINE) for a porsche 356. It ain't fast, but boy does it look pretty.
11) I love cookies with an unholy passion.
12) My power animal is a fruitbat.
13) I used to collect quarters minted in 1966. I have no idea why.
14) I went to a bar for the first time this year. I'm 30.
15) I used a bidet in Japan and kinda liked it. It was fancy.
16) I can't live anywhere that doesn't have trees. I don't even care what kind, there just have to be trees.
17) The formative years of my life where spent on a nursery. There was a river to the south, a restaurant to the east, a car dealership to the west, and a pretty busy highway to the north. My parents were also pretty busy running the nursery. This probably accounts for my overactive imagination, as I sort of had to keep myself entertained.
18) I almost had a novel published by a major publishing company when i was 16.
19) My dog set her ass on fire a few years ago. She was lying in front of a wall heater when smoke was detected. The frantic patting down of her butt was met with a look of sheer, oblivious joy.
20) I once cohabitated with 2 women, 5 cats, 1 dog, 1 squirrel, 1 parakeet, 1 guinea pig and 22 rabbits. All inside. I am allergic to cats, dogs, squirrels and rabbits. I am currently thankful for two things. First, my only pet at the moment is a dog. Second, I am not allergic to women.
the end.

Farewell....
my brothers had their own language when we were kids, they still use it sometimes today just to annoy the rest of us. having an overactive imagination is deadly!
cant get picture of dog burning out of my head!
