1) I have twice managed to avoid meeting Ozzy Osbourne, one of which was accidental, the second time I was worried he might as for a piece of the pizza I was eating and I didn't want to share.
2) I met my current wife when she attacked my castle in a facebook game.
3) I have an almost complete collection of 80's Star Wars action figures. I refuse to pay what most people want for the A Wing Pilot though.
4) Only learned to drive a little over a year ago at the age of 42 because my job forced me to. I still haven't bothered buying a car though as I enjoy walking.
5) I have survived being stabbed multiple times, although I do have more scar tissue than the average person.
6) When I was younger I tried hard to believe in God, but I've never really felt anything there. Currently my belief is that the universe is indifferent to life, especially since finding out due to a slowly decaying male gene, humanity as a species has a limited life span.
7) I love going places where there is no sign of civilization. Ever seen the night sky without any light pollution?
8) Every place I have worked has went out of business after I've left. Given my current job, when I leave I plan on spending quite some time out of the country.
9) All the places I wanted to go see as a young child I've managed to go see as an adult. I am sure 3 year old me would be very happy about that.
10) My collection of bad movies is now too large to keep in any of the rooms in the house and the DVD cases now have to live out in the garage.

8) I'm more of a B-Grade Sci-Fi/Fantasy Fan than a B-Grade horror fan.

10) I bought a book on COBOL.

Part III. (Sorry I could do these all day since so many of my favorite sentences start with "I".)

1. I have been to every US state except Hawaii, and also to Europe, South America, the Caribbean, Mexico, and New Zealand. And, oh yeah, Texas, another foreign country.
2. I've read every issue of The Sandman.
3. For a good portion of my life I was an agnostic, and even drifted into being anti-religious, but the last seven years I have had a personal appreciation for the merits of Christianity, and this has changed my life.
4. I am obsessed with maps like crows are with shiny objects.
5. I've been to the Kentucky Derby several times, a World Series game, and to tapings of The Antiques Roadshow and Saturday Night Live.
6. I failed miserably at the breakfast burrito challenge at Juan In A Million, in Austin, Texas.
7. Years ago I unintentionally hastened the breakup of a failing marriage, though not in the way you might think, just by...I don't know how to finish that. By being (too) emotionally close to someone?
8. I've been in a hot air balloon, and tossed superballs off it (didn't see where they went).
9. One of my closer friends of late has been a man I used to illogically hate so much that for years I regretted saving his life from a prescription drug interaction overdose when I was in high school.
10. I told my husband if he had a bachelor party, the wedding was off. I'm not the ballbreaker that makes me sound like, I'm truly not, trust me, but I think bachelor and bachelorette parties are disrespectful of what you're setting out to undertake.

1. I have twice ridden an elephant
2. When I was 18, I had an opportunity to go to England to meet Christopher Lee and schmooze with single aristocratic Spaniards, but I turned it down because I was afraid of flying alone.. and schmoozing. I did mail a package of toiletries to his daughter though!
3. I have accepted rides from strangers (I know it's dangerous and would not do it now).
4. I've only been on a plane once.
5. I had pink hair for 3 years straight - before everyone and their mom had it.
6. I met my husband through badmovies.org, many years ago, before he came off as such a jerk :).  We found that we worked very close to each other and I wanted his Danzig comics and he wanted dates.
7. I still have never been drunk, but I am really enjoying mead lately.  I also have never done recreational drugs. 
8. I have recently become obsessed with studying manners of the past and present.  I don't necessarily practice though. I just like to know when I am being offensive.
9. Most of my memories of my grandfather are from seeing and speaking to him after he died.
10. I really enjoy a good gossip.  I'm careful not to spread it though, especially if I suspect it's malicious.

Yes, well I was 2, so I don't know how credible the memories are.  I recall seeing him at night in my room and he would smile and talk cutesy and ask me how I was and how gramma (his wife) was.  I think he came 2 or 3 times and I mostly remember him asking about gramma and telling me to make sure we take good care of her.  I know it was after he died because we moved right after and I remember it from the "new" house.  My mom recalls me telling her things like "grampa said hi" and being creeped out.  I also remember the last time I saw him I was sitting in the living room with my gramma, but she couldn't see him.  He walked in through the front door, went into another room, came out with a packed suitcase, waved and said "bye-bye" and walked outside and disappeared in an orange light on the front sidewalk.  That last memory seems more like something I might have made up, but maybe it was his way of letting me know he wasn't going to visit anymore.  I don't have any memories of him before those times.

10.  My first job was shoveling stables for $2 an hour.

1. So far in my life I've owned three different Lincolns, two Towncars and one Continental.
2. I once fell on a piece of glass in the park and still have the scar on my arm when I got stitches.
3. When I was a toddler, I fell off the couch and hit a coffee table, causing a gash that required stitches.  Then, a few months after the stitches were taken out, I fell (or maybe jumped) off the couch, injuring my forehead AGAIN.  This time they did NOT take me to the hospital, figuring knowing would believe the same thing just coincidentally happened twice..
4. I have a Grim Reaper Beanie Baby. Saw it at a yard sale and said, "Whoa, gotta get this!"
5. Would have given anything to have a video camera as a kid.
6. I have a bad habit of chewing on things (like pens and stuff).  (Insert your own psychological theory here.)
7. I've had glasses since second grade, and my vision has steadily gone downhill since.
8. Sometimes I really want to go out and meet new people, but, more often than not, feel like I really have nowhere to go.
9. I have a knack for memorizing entire comedy routines and can still recite old routines from Sam Kinison, Bob Nelson and others to this day.
10. I have a wax Halloween skull decoration on my bookshelf.  It's technically a candle, but as cool as it'd be to see red wax running out of it's eyes, I don't think I'll ever light it.

That's interesting to say the least. Thanks for posting about it. Experiencing that makes you lucky, I think.

1. I did not have sex on my wedding night, because it was a long tiring day, and besides, after you've been together almost a decade and you've got a child, a rush toward the mysteries of consummation loses some point.

2. My great-grandfather was a lawyer with such a good reputation that near the end of his life he was appointed to fill out the last few days of someone's term as a Federal Appeals Court Judge. Though he heard no cases, and was actually terminally ill at that time, it was a nice honor for his peers to bestow on him.

3. I almost never drink soft drink, milk, or alcohol, but when I do it isn't Dos Equis.

4. We don't have cable TV. In fact I grew up with only one TV in our home.

5. Five generations of my family have lived in the house I live in now.

6. One day my uber-leftist cousin in London was in front of Harrod's passing out flyers for some political cause, when a limousine pulled up and out stepped Iman (Mrs. Bowie to my way of thinking) and my cousin held a flyer out to her, to which Iman walked past without even looking her way. (Ha!)

7. When she was gleefully drunk just before her thirtieth birthday another cousin of mine danced with me in this hotel room we were in together (that she got comped for us!!!), then kissed me passionately with her tongue in my mouth, and then laughed about it. When I told her that was remotely incestuous, she tried to do it again. Heck, she was actually one of the three best kissers I know, way better than the others girls who have kissed me.

8. The End, by The Doors, gave me chills the first time I heard it, tonight, tonight, makes me feel eternally sixteen inside, but I still think The Ode To Joy is human music at its most evolved.

9. My father claims he fell totally in love with my mother the second he saw her. He says he forgot to breathe, all thought stopped in his brain, he got tunnel vision, and he would have killed or died for her on the spot, all within seconds. He abandoned the summer bicycle trip around Ireland he was doing, forgot his friends, forgot everything. He stayed as long as he could, dropped out of college to get back to her, defied his parents (my paternal grandfather could be a daunting figure too) and ultimately married her three times: once in Ireland in 1978, once in Ohio in 1978, and again over here in 2016. And, by the way, I was born ten months and one week after they got married, so....that was all free will. (If you were paying attention to fact 1. up there, you see I'm not a fan of shotgun weddings.)

10. I am gradually losing hearing in my right ear, and this this goes back to having an ear ache so bad when I was thirteen that I developed scar tissue inside that is hardening and constricting and dulling my hearing. One other side effect of this is about maybe one morning every two months on average I've woken up extremely motion sick, with the room spinning around me, and all I can do then is lie still, try not to throw up amid the nausea, and wait for this to pass. Try feeling this while a demanding toddler or three climbs on you to get you to get up.

Bonus: The reason I got that ear ache when I was thirteen is I was FINALLY allowed to get my ears pierced, and that earlobe got inflamed for some reason, hurt bad, so I went down and got ice in a paper towel to put on it, fell asleep holding it there, the ice melted and ran into my ear and....voila.

1.  I didn't have sex on my wedding night because my wife had, as a parting gift from her college roommate, contracted a nasty stomach bug and spent the evening throwing up.
2.  There are currently several dead goats decomposing in my pasture due to a virulent outbreak of liver flukes in the soil.
3.  In 1985, I survived a collision at sea that ripped a 35 foot high gash in the hull of the ship I was on.
4.  I once free dove to a depth of forty feet in the clear waters of Grande Island in the Philippines.
5.  The Emperor of Japan drove by me one day on the streets of Tokyo.  Well, his chauffer was driving, but he was in the car.
6.  I have shaken hands with George W. Bush and enjoyed a brief conversation with him.
7.  I like the taste of raw octopus.
8.  I had a pet raccoon as a kid.
9.  One of my students told me, as an answer on a quiz, that John F. Kennedy shot Abraham Lincoln.
10.  I have, on multiple occasion, found bits of human bone eroding out of Indian campsites.

8.) I was mugged on 3 separate occasions.
9.) I don't have a driver's license and I'm 33.
10.) I've been to more funerals in 10 years than most go to in a lifetime.  I know a lot of dead people. Bluesad
