Hey, I did it! That was fun. Thanks, Duckie! :hi:

TEN random things you might not know about me

1. I grew up in the Deep South, and unusually for someone who comes from down here, I learned to ice skate when I was 5. My mom just stuck me in lessons to burn up some of that little kid energy, I guess. I never did figure skating or hockey. I just loved to skate. One of my happiest childhood memories was skating as fast as I could, cool rink air hitting my face, all the while Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" played over and over on the sound system (I guess the rink had a limited music collection). After that year, I didn't skate again for about twenty years but I never lost the love of that feeling I got on the rink. In my mid-20's, I went back and taught myself to skate all over again. Many bruises later, I bought my own skates and am now probably one of the few people in the South who is passionate about skating just for skating's sake. I've never, ever gotten tired of listening to "The Entertainer."
2. The first poem I ever wrote got published.
3. I have a need to live near mountains. Even if I don't go up into them, I just need to be able to see them all the time. Flatlands are OK just for a visit, but before long I start feeling out of place.
4. Being on the debate team in high school and college was the most valuable experience of my entire educational life by far. Nothing else is even a close second. If I were to list all the solid, real-world skills it gave me it would make for a very long post.
5. I took a lot of very dangerous risks exploring caves when I was younger. I badly injured an ankle while in a pretty tough cave and still had to get myself out of there with only one person to help me. Cured me of that sort of recklessness, pronto.
6. I had hallucinations when I was a child, and as far as I'm aware there was no illness or chemical involved. They were very rare but they were always the same. I perceived everyone's movement and speech as being dramatically sped up, but I still understood everything perfectly and did not feel upset by the experience. It would last for 5 minutes or so and then everything would go back to normal. This hasn't happened at all since my mid-teens.
7. I play piano, mandolin, guitar, cello, bass, harmonica, saxophone, and sing (lots of it publicly).
8. After high school, I almost became a professional photographer. After an apprenticeship with a pro, I changed my mind when I realized I loved the joy of taking pictures a WHOLE LOT more than dealing with the business side of it.
9. For 12 years I've been very, very vegetarian (currently macrobiotic), but it doesn't bother me when someone else eats whatever they like.
10. When I was about 12, I found that I couldn't cry anymore. Even when I was really sad and wanted to cry, I somehow couldn't even physically force myself to do it. About a dozen years later, things went in exactly the opposite direction, and I would suddenly well up over unexpected moments in songs, movies, whatever. Women just eat it up when that happens to me now. Go figure.



NINE places I’ve visited

1. Asheville, NC
2. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore & the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in general (awesome places everywhere)
3. All the best musical instrument stores in Nashville
4. Charleston, SC
5. Ellicott Rock Wilderness Area where NC, SC, and GA all meet
6. Wildwood Lifestyle Center, Wildwood, GA (3 weeks of heaven)
7. New River Gorge, West Virginia
8. Indiana state high school basketball Final Four in Indianapolis
9. Little River Canyon, AL



EIGHT things I want to do before I die

1. Get a law degree
2. Move to Asheville and become a prosecutor
3. Own my own house
4. Grow an herb garden
5. Buy that certain special musical instrument which I've wanted for years and costs WAAAAY too much money
6. Get over her and move on
7. Find the someone who'll help me pull off number 6
8. Skate outdoors on a pond in wintertime. Being from the South, I've only been on rinks. I want to skate in the sunshine (Montreal sounds good).



SEVEN ways to win my heart

1. Have style without spending all your time obsessing over it.
2. Smile for real. Don't force it. I want a smile, not bared teeth with a forced look on your face.
3. Drop everything and run off with me when I want a sudden impulse getaway weekend in the mountains and can't imagine it without you.
4. Let me know how much you love it when I cook for you and then wash dishes with me afterward. You'll be glad you did.
5. Don't cling.
6. Show me shoulders, not cleavage, shoulders. I'm a sucker for anything off the shoulder and strapless.
6a. Wear jeans that are not-quite-tight, just ever so slightly loose. I want see what a woman you are without looking like you got crammed into some torture and bondage tool. I have no idea why, but the best looking thing I've ever seen has always been a woman who looks out-of-this-world beautiful in comfortable clothes.
7. Learn to skate, and save your best conversation for when we're together on the ice.



SIX things I’m afraid of

1. Developing the rare, congenital condition that caused severe spinal cord damage in my father.
2. After number 1, nothing else really rates.



FIVE things I don't like

1. Turning my bad ankle for the jillionth time
2. Messing with car repairs
3. Chartreuse
4. Hiking boots that cause blisters
5. Wall-to-wall carpeting



FOUR ways to turn me off

1. Rudeness and mockery
2. Political conversations: save 'em for the internet. I don't want to listen to it in my leisure time. Typing and reading it is fine. I just don't want to listen in person to voices descending into the rudeness and mockery (see turn-off number one) which almost always seems to happen when talk turns political.
3. Acting like you have some kind of entitlement to act the ass just because you think you're right. Good manners are more important, even when we're mad.
4. Sulking and holding grudges



THREE things I do everyday

1. Cook from scratch or else eat frozen, canned, or leftover food I've cooked from scratch
2. Sing
3. Meditate



TWO things I am trying not to do right now

1. Just live and not get in some mindset of things I should be trying not to do right now
2. Slump while I type



ONE person I want to see right now

1. I still want to see her even though I know I really don't want to deal with how I would feel if I saw her. She's married now and I can't change that.

that is good. I love those too.

You have four of the worst types of people in the world, and SUSHI in the same list. Come on now, some raw fish and seaweed don't belong in that there category! :P I'm kidding, but I do love sushi.
