Rules: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged can then write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

1) Weird thing; Nails on a chalkboard don’t bother me at all. However: The thought of yarn in my mouth or, Oh Lord, on my teeth, makes my whole body seize and shiver and freaks me out. ICK.

2) Little known fact: I have a condition called “Gilbert’s Syndrome” which has to do with the bilirubin levels in my blood. Nothing major, but according to the doctor, it occasionally causes me to be very fatigued and worn out. (And here I thought that was just my life!)

3) Habit: I talk to myself. A lot. When I’m solving problems, especially.

4) I have a few scars on my head (visible if you search through my hair) from when I was attacked by a dog when I was young and had to have a bunch of stitches.

5) I’m the oldest of 3: I have a younger brother and a younger sister.

6) I almost made it to Eagle Scout, but my troop disbanded and I didn’t feel like finding another troop – by that point I’d begun doing a lot of theatre and wanted to devote more time to that.

7) I own two Televison Series on DVD: Arrested Development because it’s pure comedy genius, and Firefly because it’s scifi/storytelling genius. I wouldn’t mind owning Star Trek: The Animated Series, which just came out on DVD, because I’ve only ever seen a couple of them, and I’d love to see them all.

8) I proposed to my wife by putting her ring into a little candy dispenser that she had in her kitchen. She got her ring and a blue Jelly-Belly both at the same time. I think she still has the Jelly-Belly saved in the ring box.

9) I worked as a McDonald’s manager the summer between High School and College, and then during my freshman year at college I was the Morning/Opening Manager there to help pay for school. I practically lived on free McDonald’s food that whole year. I got enough scholarships and service awards that I didn’t have to work there past Freshman year, and I’m hoping that my arteries and cholesterol levels will soon be recovered from that whole thing.

10) I have a brother in-law, sister in-law and nephews living in Taiwan, and I wish we could save up the money and time to go visit them, because I would LOVE to be shown around that part of the world.

I’m not going to tag anyone – if you’d like to do this, go for it! It’d be fun to see what other people have to reveal!
