Now you know . . . the rest of the story
For Deborah, 10 things you probably don't know about me.
- I have a small chunk of wood stuck in my head from when a young woman in Germany inexplicably lobbed a (bigger) chunk of wood at me. This incident has appeared in a poem of mine.
- I won the Math Student of the Year award in 8th grade despite getting a B in algebra because that same year I went to the National MathCounts competition (I finished 2nd in Colorado). This has not yet made its way into a poem.
- I have a long history of getting sick at zoos. This has appeared in two poems.
- I have never smoked a cigarette, but I have smoked a joint and a blunt.
- My brother has a band. Guess who's helping them build their website?
- I own my own pool cue and dart set.
- I often say that if I had $2000 to blow, I'd get a pool table. In fact, I'd be more likely to get laser eye surgery.
- In college, I played quiz bowl against Ken Jennings. Our team beat his more often than not.
- I am caring for a cat named Edgar Allen Poe for a friend who's on sabbatical from last August to this July. The cat is a Maine coon cat who weighs 15 pounds. I call him Edgar Allen Poo.
- In high school, I thought I was going to be a science fiction writer when I grew up. I still do.
- I've never broken a bone. On the other hand, I once had six baby teeth pulled at once.

Yeah, they had big roots and took so long to fall out that the dentist was worried my adult teeth would be messed up somehow, so they got pulled.
Louise:
Thanks for the compliment. Since I don't have $2,000 spare dollars, it's moot anyway. The glasses had better look good--they were flipping expensive too.
Jake:
Good catch, glad you enjoyed it. :-)
