[thatcrazycajun]

Carried over from Facebook and about a dozen others on my f-list here:

1. I have an extra rib on my left side. Freaks the heck out of new doctors.
2. My favorite color is blue.
3. When I was three or so, I poured dishwashing liquid into my dad's backyard pool of fishing-bait minnows. He was not happy.
4. I have lived in eight different states in my life: LA, TX, OK, VA, MD, NY, PA, GA.
5. My current romantic relationship is the longest lasting one I have had (seven years and counting).
6. I do not know my IQ or my blood type. No idea about my parents' blood types, either.
7. I have been told by a music teacher that I have perfect pitch.
8. I am severely nearsighted and astigmatic.
9. I was in the Boy Scouts, but never advanced in rank past Tenderfoot.
10. I have crossed the Atlantic Ocean twice and the Pacific once.
11. I have only been outside the United States four times in my life.
12. My shoe size is 10.5.
13. My astrological sign is Gemini, but I cannot have a precise horoscope cast because no one can tell me what hour of the day I was born. (My birth certificate does not have this info, and my father no longer remembers. My mother died before I could ask her.)
14. My family surname is an archaic French usage meaning "light."
15. Due to respiratory allergies, every so often I begin sneezing uncontrollably for about five minutes.
16. Three of my favorite toys as a child were See 'N' Say, the Mattel-O-Phone and Spirograph.
17. I saw snow for the first time during the year I lived in Oklahoma in the early 1970s.
18. My first science-fiction convention was in New Orleans, LA in the second weekend of August, 1978.
19. I have one Pegasus Award and three nominations.
20. I can iron my own clothes, sew my own buttons and darn my own socks. (Thanks, Mama!)
21. I have lived with more cats than dogs.
22. I have only been to the West Coast (CA) once.
23. The first personal computer I remember seeing was a Radio Shack TRS-80.
24. One of my favorite comfort foods is Kraft macaroni and cheese mixed with cooked slices of Vienna sausage.
25. I have only ever owned one car, for about seven months in 1988. It died a horrible death when a friend misconnected the cables for a jump start and set fire to the engine block.
