i got tagged to write a post concerning six weird things about me.
i’m sure there’s nothing that will surprise you.

1) i don’t cook. really. almost never. if i do it’s spaghetti or lasagna, and that’s just a couple times a year.

2) i like to be touched on the knee or arm or shoulder or hand or something before i’m kissed. i wouldn’t *think* this would be weird, but the number of guys who’ve gone in for a kiss without any touching first makes me think otherwise.

3) the sound/smell of nitrous makes me start to panic. (too many teeth pulled as a child)

4) i can’t spell, or do arithmetic, but i’m a great reader and do fairly well at math (yes, there’s a difference between arithmetic and math — like spelling and writing a story). i’ve been in honors programs and remedial programs at the same time, though ‘they’ could never pinpoint my learning disability.

5) at least 75% of the time i identify as male in my mind. (though i’ve been told that if only my skull is located thousands of years from now by anthropologists, they’ll assume i was female.)

6) i missed only two question on the analytical section of the GRE back in ‘96. this part of the test doesn’t exist anymore, so you’ll have to go to the grocery store and pick up a book of logic puzzles to see what the questions were like.
