30 Things About Me - Meme
Got tagged on a Facebook meme and thought I would indulge rather than grade. Grading sucks.
Get to know me!
1. I have a tattoo of a tribal fire swan and the kanji for love on my right leg.
2. When asked what religion I am, I typically respond that I'm a non-practicing atheist.
3. I was part of a group of people stalked by Anne Rice when I lived in New Orleans. Apparently she doesn't like negative reviews.
4. I once shoplifted a "vampire egg" at the Anne Rice gift store in the Garden District Bookstore while Anne Rice was looking directly at me.
5. I have apocalyptic dreams on a regular basis. The last one involved an alien invasion that turned out to be an elaborate conspiracy for a dictatorial take over of the US government. I need to stop reading conspiracy theories for shits and giggles.
6. I'm currently in the market for a new political party. I'm a registered Green, but I'm just not feeling the love.
7. I'm adopted but have never had the desire to search for my biological parents.
8. I was once really into Catholic mysticism, but have since taken a more global approach to mysticism.
9. As an undergrad, I had a great revelation on St. Anselm's ontological argument for the existence of God when I had a high grade fever, but I can't remember it now.
10. Even though I teach cultural diversity classes, I find them extremely outdated and that they often encourage anger towards minority groups by ignoring white groups and social class as part of the study in diversity.
11. I believe that the mainstream media is as reliable as any other tabloid. Bat boy lives!
12. I fell off a bridge while taking pictures of it for an archaeology class. We were trying to get the bridge in the National Register of Historic Places.
13. It takes me forever to read a book because every other paragraph my mind derails on mental tangents or flights of fancy.
14. I had a fling with a guy because he spoke Gaelic.
15. I once spoke to John Laroquette over the phone. I said something stupid like, "I loved you on Night Court."
16. I once ate a grub as part of a cultural anthropology class. It was far better than the acorn mush.
17. I've stopped dying my hair so I can watch it go white.
18. I'm an alto.
19. I have seven computers in my house right now. 5 of them work.
20. I miss the days of the $100 dollar bar tab...
21. I've kissed 6 people on my Facebook friends list - Woohoo!
22. I believe Facebook flair is an accurate portrayal of one's mental state.
23. While I'm a total Sci-Fi/Fantasy Movie/TV series geek, I don't like reading most Sci-Fi/Fantasy books.
24. My favorite fiction authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller, Mark Twain, J.D. Salinger, Robert Anton Wilson and W. Somerset Maugham.
25. My favorite philosophers are Sartre, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Plato, Ricard Rorty, Paul Feyerabend, Daniel C. Dennett and Roger Penrose.
26. While I have not accepted Jesus Christ as my personal lord and savior, I like his work.
27. I loathe keeping track of time. Most of my watches have numbers that are difficult to read.
28. I'm extremely absent minded and often get completely lost in my thoughts.
29. I'm a sugar addict.
30. I do memes when I should be working on more important things.
Jesus, where did January go?
