10 Random Things
I apologize, but I got meme-tagged for this. Blame ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cinabunny. Anyway, you have to list ten random things about yourself, and at the end tag five people, no tagbacks. Okay, here goes...
1. I have a lazy eye. When I was younger I had to wear a patch on my other eye so I would learn to focus my lazy one, and now it works normally - but I can make it wander at will. It really grosses people out.
2. My blood type is AB-, the rarest variety ever. Whenever I go to donate blood to the Red Cross (and I haven't done that in a while, I should soon), they get really excited.
3. My father's brother's wife's uncle almost got married to Gates McFadden (Doctor Crusher from Star Trek, TNG.)
4. I cannot stand peaches, velvet, suede, corduroy or anything like that. The texture of those things just disturbs me. I don't know why.
5. I once sat at the late Peter Jennings' desk. My grandfather worked at ABC news and took my family on a tour of the studio once. I was four or five, and I remember sitting at Jennings' desk in the studio (he was not there at the time) and drawing pictures on some blank papers laying there.
6. I have never been stung by a bee and I am not, to my knowledge, allergic to anything.
7. My Greek astrological sign is the bull and my Chinese sign is the boar. Both those signs are associated with stubbornness, loyalty, patience, and trustworthiness. I always joke that having both those signs makes me obnoxious.
8. I learned to drive in a Toyota Camry that was nearly as old as I was. I was born in 1983 and the car was made in 1984.
9. I have attended or taken part in religious services in Reconstructionist, Reform, Conservative and (Sephardic) Orthodox synagogues, a cathedral, an Anglican church, and a mosque - that last being here in Philadelphia. I have also been to Quaker meetings, although I went to a Friends school so I'm not sure if that really counts.
10. Speaking of the Friends school, it was a middle school with 5 teachers and 35 students, held in the basement of a Korean Lutheran church. I metshinyhappygoth there: she was my tour guide when I visited there. For some reason I deliberately annoyed her and, in retaliation, she stole my glasses and hid them in the Spanish room. We have been good friends ever since. Life's funny that way.

If any of you have done this meme before - be honest - you are excused.
