O.K. I got tagged to tell eight things about myself, so I shall play along, half way.

1. I love to read, I am a bibliovore. If I read less than two books a week, then there is something wrong with me.

2. I do not own pets, nor do I want one.

3. I have the distinction of being asked to leave an UFMCC congregation because I was to erotically and inclusively spiritual for the former Seventh Day Adventists that made up the church body.

4. Spicy food is great and good, especially when Habenero peppers are present, which I can eat raw!

5. Speaking of spicy food, I have shocked Thai restaurateurs by calling their spiciest dishes too mild for me.

6. I have lived in California, Nebraska (thrice), South Dakota (twice), Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida. That's one fifth of the country, folks!

7. I have died twice. The first time when I was four after getting very, very sick, and the second time when I was fourteen after being struck by a hit-and-run driver.

8. I enjoy Japanese cinema, especially the works of Akira Kurosawa and Hayao Miyazaki (a.k.a. Studio Ghibli)
