Poppy's out of town and we got tagged by my AWESOME friend Laurie, (THE HR expert) for a meme that requires we BOTH tell 6 things about ourselves. So I'll tell you mine and make up Poppy's for her, knowing full well hers are false:
LANI'S SIX:
1. I don't like Halloween haunted houses, I get freaked out because I can't see and even when I can, I still jump when Jason comes at me with a saw. I don't scream, I grab on to whoever's in front of me, regardless of who they are.
2. I've lived in Spain and Mexico and have a degree in Spanish but had no one to practice with when I came home so it's mostly gone now.
3. I have an affinity for cheese. I ate so much as a child I had to take suppositories many times. Totally worth it.
4. I have an insane fear of turkeys and am completely happy to eat them at Thanksgiving since one attacked me as a child in a wildlife reserve. I hate you, turkeys.
5. I can cook Mexican food really well.
6. Fernet is my least favorite alcohol. Absinthe was less harsh, I'm not even kidding. Anyone who offers me a shot of Fernet will get karate chopped in the neck.
POPPY'S SIX:
1. Poppy is 6'7" tall.
2. Poppy is Elton John's stylist.
3. Poppy's biggest fears are puppies, nuns and Jack Black.
4. She's a pianist and was a child prodigy but now only plays rap.
5. Her glasses are fake.
6. Poppy is 4'9" tall.
THOSE WHO ARE TAGGED (non-optional, blog it wherever you like):
1. Pilchard
2. JeffX
3. Drew Fristoe
4. @jcsalterego
5. The Mudflap
6. THE Lisa Sanderson
The rules to play are …
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on the blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
Laurie threatened to give me a purple nurple if this is broken, so do your part!!!

No, for three reasons.
A) I'm not that lucky.
2) we have smoke detectors and
D) we live on the most boring street in the whole United States of America, where nothing even remotely dangerous will ever happen. Period.
1) I used to race people for money (by foot) and made many thousands of dollars doing so from ~17 till ~27. I don't do this anymore.
2) I'm scared of clowns, really.
3) I lived one street over from the .22 caliber killer (google him) and played street hockey daily in front of his house when I was like 9. Then all the police cars came one day and took him away.
4) Me and two friends drove cross country with a Priest (Buffalo, NY to Los Angeles CA) when we were 18. He told us in Indianapolis that he was going to UCLA for treatment for his psychotic episodes. He left us in San Diego.
5) I have one flat foot and one arched foot.
6) I'm Batman and have lots of gadgets...
OK. Done:

1. I have a tattoo on my back that I got when I was 41.
2. I like business travel for the periods of "alone time" I get away from my family.
3. Once in a while I enjoy listening to Death Metal.
4. I played King Arthur in Camelot, my senior year in high school.
5. Someday I want to own/tend a bar.
6. I have a recurring dream that I have returned to a job I once had that was boring and filled with political back stabbing. It always makes me sad.
