Six Weird Things About Me

In an effort to lighten up the tone around here lately (I describe the blog to M'Lady as "all war, all the time") I have linked to a funny and light-hearted post over at Villainous Company. Cassandra was tagged by another blogger to write six weird things about herself and then tag six more bloggers, chain letter fashion. While I won't go so far as to tag my fellow bloggers, I will pick up the challenge on an individual basis.

1. I always write with a fountain pen, when I’m not typing on a laptop keyboard. M’Lady thinks it’s funny!

2. I am in the middle of reading four to six books and as many magazines at any given point in time.

3. I carry a side by side shotgun with high brass shells when I go pheasant hunting and keep buckeyes in my field vest for good luck. It hasn’t improved my aim but I keep thinking it might.

4. I give all of my family members and close friends nicknames, yet I do not have one myself – at least not one that anyone repeats in front of me.

5. One of my undeniable truths of life is that the fewer people that agree with me, the more I know I’m right.

6. I frequently drive much faster than the posted speed limit and consider anyone that passes me to be a public menace. I can also tell the age, gender and parental marital status of my fellow drivers from great distances.
