Rules (per PortlyDyke): Each person posts the rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people; then visits those people’s sites and comments, letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do.
It's doubtful that I'll tag anyone, as I hate to be a nuisance, and I realize that not everyone likes to do shit like this. But here are eight random facts about me.
1. I was outed on the evening news when I was in college. Pretty good way to announce something to the world, I guess. This was in November of 1997. There was really no looking back after that.
2. I am horrible at tending to things. This is why I don't garden. Or decorate for the holidays. And why I have six closed (and four scarred) piercings. And an outdated MySpace page. And several abandoned hobbies. I am terribly resentful of things that require any sort of upkeep (except, strangely, for this blog).
3. My first fall-hard crush on a girl came in seventh grade. She was my chorus teacher. And there was one each on my seventh grade and eighth grade volleyball coaches. And my eighth grade assistant softball coach. And then another chorus teacher. And then an English teacher (who had been the eighth grade volleyball coach). A definite pattern. Oh, and I married that last one. Scandalous!
4. When something funny catches me off guard, I laugh real loud like a monkey. People turn their heads at this. Sadly, monkey laughs have been in short supply in New Hampshire. It's lookin' up for New York, though.
5. I have hairy legs, but I watch America's Next Top Model.
6. On my birthday in 2001, I stopped eating red meat with the intention of becoming a vegetarian. I was going to give up something every year until I was offa meat altogether. I never got beyond that first step. There's still hope, though.
7. I can't stand Ben Stiller. Or Bill Paxton. Or Jerry Van Dyke. Can't. Stand 'em. But I love Will Ferrell in spite of myself.
8. My favorite movies to quote are Stand By Me and The Goonies. They fit almost anywhere.
All right. That's it, folks! Please feel free to tag yourselves or leave your peculiarities in comments.

Oh, Gender -- true to your word, you tagged yourself and followed through. So much for your maintenance-phobia. Personally, I'm into low-maintenance gardening. The secret -- marry someone who loves to garden, and eat well for the rest of your unnatural life.
Well, if this were something I'd be expected to do on a regular basis, it would shrivel up pretty quickly. As it was only one post, I figured I could gut it out.
And what if I married someone who hates maintaining a garden more than I do? I can't very well leave her after nearly 12 years over a garden. Can I? She's virtually maintenance-free! Any other secrets up your sleeve?
