I Promised Myself I’d Never Do This…
I swore I would never do these little things where people “tag” you on their blog. But when Annike tagged me, I figured, what the heck. I can cave to peer pressure just as good as the other guy…
So here it is… the lame getting to know random things about a person in short sentences…
3 Joys
- Really good food with really great company.
- Solving a problem I’ve been working on in my head for a long time.
- Beautiful choral music.
3 Fears
- I’ll grow up and become un-fun.
- I’ll have to take a polygraph one day, and I’ll have become such a relativist that every answer I give will register as a lie because I will automatically doubt the truth of everything that I might say.
- Alien abduction and probing
3 Goals
- Take over the world.
- Write something a million people will want to read.
- Get up every morning and go to bed every night.
3 Current Obsessions/Collections
