Ted has a meme, so I will be posting tonight.
The meme is: Five Weird Things About Me
I'm stumped. So I e-mailed the people who know me best, my sister and Victor.

Subject: 5 things
i'm trying to do the 5 weird things meme, but i don't think i'm weird. (if i thought something was weird, i wouldn't do it.) but i'm not so delusional as to think that *others* don't find me weird, so i need your help. what is weird about me?
They both responded very quickly. (Like, immediately. Little did they know this was actually a test to see if I should return their Christmas presents.)
From Victor:
you don't mind having rats pee on you
You spend more per month in vet bills than you do for yourself in one year
From Karen
- your level of knowledge about the death of Bob Crane
- your aversion to eating canned green beans, even though you like green beans in all other forms
- do you have any words that you just cannot seem to spell correctly, even though you know full well that you are mis-spelling them? Like wanting to put a "d" in refrigerator, even though you know it doesn't have a "d"? (I know you know how to spell it, that's just an example)
For the record: I will eat canned green beans. It's just that they squeek when you chew them, and I find that, well, weird.
I have trouble spelling squeek. Is is ee or ea? Squeak. Yeah, not squeek.
I was pondering these when Victor added
How, when served a meal, you have to have the 'mushy stuff' presented to you such that it's in the upper right-hand corner of the plate.
How you eat anything between two slices of bread, up to and including lasagna.
Karen's first one is pretty good--your knowledge of *that* is pretty encyclopedic.
Ok, look, I don't know that much about Bob Crane, ok? I just read a book about it once. A book I picked up on the remainder shelf years ago. It's not like I went to Scottsdale and did my own investigation or anything. I can't even remember the details.
The rest of it is all true, though. And it's easier to blog if I get other people to do most of the writing. Can you guys come back tomorrow?
