Thirteen Things - 2
Today's group on Flickr Group Roulette asks us to list "thirteen things about you." I made up a list of 27, intending to pick the top 13. After running the list past a few people, they urged me to reveal all 27. So be it!
Well, so the stinking bike wouldn't cold start and the battery is dead. Before I read my manual on how to jumpstart, I thought I'd unveil this second part.
This is the second list of thirteen. OK, so it's a baker's thirteen. Sue me.
1. I worked as an embedded systems programmer, creating something that looked like a cable box and read stock quotes broadcast between TV channels. I was charged with created the BIOS, which was a bit more complex than the ones you'd see in a PC-AT. I have pretty deep Geek chops.
2. I worked as a defense contractor. I can't say it was related, but I was not permitted to leave the country for a couple years afterwards.
3. I am an airport planner. I do things like arrange the roads and parking and terminal buildings at airports.
4. When I took the ACT, I missed 4 questions in math. I missed 2 questions on the entire remainder of the test. Perversely, I chose a math-centric career. Kids, don't do that at home.
5. I didn't drink until I graduated high school. Nor did I have sex. That might explain why I am how I am.
6. I sang baritone in highschool until I got addicted to Journey. Subsequently, in the school performance choir I sang bass parts up to Irish tenor.
7. I was in four plays (two of them musicals) in highschool. I was the lead in three of them, although I can't remember what they were.
8. The first thing I notice in women is their hair. Then their eyes. Never their boobs. When walking away, I am more likely to look at their shoes than their butts.
9. I had a photographic memory until I went to college. Even now I have a memory for the mundane. I have a particular affinity for music and lyrics.
10. I got paddled in elementary school for giving a girl a bloody nose. She and her friends held my arms and kicked me. They started it but they went unpunished... until after school.
11. Politically, I consider myself a conservative Constitutionalist.
12. If I am driving, I am speeding.
13. Grown women in pig-tails give me the heeby-jeebies. I have a strong repulsion towards pedophilia, and women attempting to look like school girls are repulsive.
14. Unlike the worst President since Carter, I believe that oral sex is sex. Also? I like oral sex.
