First of all, thanks to Johanna. Not just because she said I was insightful/intuitive (which I’m not sure is true), but also because she tagged me (being an only child, I was anxiously waiting for someone to tag me) in this little memetic blog thing that’s going around. Someone “tags” you by linking to you and then you’re supposed to write 5 things about yourself and tag 5 more people.
So here’s my 5 things:
1. I was All-Conference in college for Steeplechase. Steeplechase is a 2 mile event with 5 hurdles per lap. The hurdles don’t fall down. They are three feet tall and hurt like hell when you hit them. One hurdle per lap is a water jump. It’s crazy. But track races are boring, so it’s good to have some variety. *Note, it was DIII. I’m not that fast.
2. I was on MTV’s Taildaters. Yes, it’s true. And I got smoked. The girl hated me. I was “not her type”. No harm done. She wasn’t that hot. And MTV got me drunk for free, so…
3. I’ve lived in 6 states. From the beginning: Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, California (both Northern and Southern) and Illinois. California is my favorite, but I love ‘em all, and all 42 of the states I’ve visited, except Indiana. Sorry!
4. I can quilt and sew. So there. I can kindof knit, too, with help and sedatives.
5. I used to be able to dunk a basketball. Not anymore, though, which is a shame.
So now I tag people. When the link shows up, go ahead and tell us 5 things about yourself that we wouldn’t otherwise know:
Daniel Mejia (Adstructure)
Angus Whines oops. taken. Adrian Lai (dopalicious)
Dino Demopoulos (Chroma)
Lauren (Adnostic)

Thanks for thinking of me though! Yours are much more interesting than mine. Love the Taildaters experience…
Ha. And that’s only the start. And you’re welcome!
Ah, what fun facts! Taildaters! How did that show work again? All I can remember is that show “Next.”
Well, you see… You go on a blind date with a person (and an enormous TV crew). Before the show is taped, you list 10 people as candidates to follow you in an RV, watching your every move. They encourage you to pick a wide, random selection of people (friends, roommates, exes, parents, coaches, etc.), and they pick two off the list to “Tail” you as you date. The person your dating also has two randomly-selected people in the same RV. They are able to chat amongst themselves and are also fitted with two-way pagers so they can text you during the date. They embarrass you and give you hints. At the end you find out who was in the van. Stupid, really. But entertaining!
And I have the videotape.
Thanks for the tag Clay. I put mine up.
The videotape!! Anybody wants to watch?
Maybe YouTube. MAYBE.
Do it. Do it. Do it!
I guess a techi would know how to convert a vcr to a digital file…
