This is some sort of game that is going around, and it is courtesy of ginhollow that I am doing this instead of creating timeless works of doodling.
16 things about me:
1. My favorite novel is Zuleika Dobson, by Max Beerbohn. I have 300 second favorites.
2. When I was sixteen I had a passionate encounter on the beach, and found that sand can be problematic.
3. I have one child, John, who is a writer and lives in Berlin, of all places,
4. I had ten bloody years of piano lessons, plus a semester of pipe organ, but I kept making the assigned pieces "better."
5. I was not at Woodstock in 1969. Neither were the five friends of mine who later claimed to have been, because I was with them that weekend.
6. Our African grey parrot George whistles along with movie music and CDs and my synth playing. He is a capable improviser, and an interesting conversationalist.
7. I have far more books and CDs than you do. My hearing is still sound, and the reading glasses are fairly recent.
8. I flunked out of my first college, then graduated summa cum laude from my second. I ascribe the difference to drink -- I was old enough to buy liquor the second time.
9. I would prefer to live in Edwardian England or in fin-de-siecle Vienna, but I don't.
10. I often stay up all night working on some whimsical project or other, such as doing things like this.
11. I became irritated when I had read through the annoying elementary school shelves at the public library, and as a result of my machinations was allowed access to the adult shelves. The first book I took out was "Seven Science-Fiction Novels" by H.G. Wells. I also used to read through decades of old newspapers and magazines.
12. I met several ghosts when I was nine, although I did not realize this until a few weeks later.
13. I hopped freight-trains in the midwest during my first try at college. Interesting. I did much worse, but I have justified it as youthful adventurousness, as I was not caught.
14. I begin every day by drinking coffee and staring blankly into space. I awake tired because I have the most amount of REM sleep the people at the sleep clinic had ever seen.
15. I talk back to the television, and I am more clever than they are, though apparently less sane.
16. I cannot find anything around this place.
