The intriguing, sometimes erotic, yet always orally fixated Cape Cod Gal has selected me for a meme of sorts. It stems from a pair of awards given to her by Heather, who she suspects has an illicit Internet-crush on her. I might have been suspect of the same thing, what with the "come hither" look I get everyday from the sketch on her blog's homepage, but I'm working to keep myself in check... At least enough to get through this "Random Things" meme. Here goes...
- I was the first person in my kindergarten class to know how to tie his own shoes.
- The only detention I earned in school was because I tweaked out on a classmate for cheating while playing ping-pong in gym class. I threw my paddle at the wall, swore and talked back to the teacher, and refused to leave the room. I guess I woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day.
- I write music in my spare time, and have had my music used on the soundtrack for two local TV programs. I have some recordings available if anyone is interested in hearing them.
- My hair and finger/toenails grow unnaturally fast. I have to clip my nails once every 7-10 days, and my hair once a month. Otherwise I look like a homeless werewolf.
- The last two girls I dated before The Boss both became lesbians after we broke up. I'm choosing not to think about what that says about me, because both of them were "curious" about women while I was dating them.
- I am left-handed by nature, but I had numerous teachers in early grade school that tried to "convert" me to being right-handed.
- I can type at 85-90 words per minute, and I'm pretty damn accurate. It comes from having to keep up with motor-mouth callers on the telephone at work.
- I am horrible at math, so I sometimes still count on my fingers. I've also developed a way that I can count with my toes, so it's more secretive.
- I know that California has area codes like 650, 510, and 310, Massachusetts has 617 and 415, Connecticut has 203 and 860, and that Indiana has 317 and 765, yet I don't know anyone who lives in those states, much less their phone numbers.
- I have a very small wallet, and I keep only the essentials in it. I would prefer a money clip, if only I could tolerate my front pockets being host to more than my keys and chapstick.
- I have carried a pocket knife with me everywhere I have gone, every day, for the past six years. I don't often use it for anything, but there have been times where it has come to good use.
- Ever since one jumped out of a dumpster and nearly killed me from fright, I have harbored a pure hatred for raccoons. They are all evil, no matter how cute they look.
That is about as random as I can get. My brain is shot for the efforts of making this list, so I'm off to watch the clock as time slowly passes until the end of my shift today. Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

What a coincidence, both the guys before I met Hotty Hubby turned out to be gay. Hmmm.
I type that fast as well..and accurately. I agree it has something to do with working in a call center because you have to be able to keep up with the idiotic comments coming through the phone.
Excellent randomness.
Gee, every guy i used to date would marry the woman they dated right AFTER they dumped me. WTF?
Seriously, I am bent over laughing about your hairy problems. I will forever lovingly think of you as an adorable Chewbacca.
Thanks for sharing - you were just the sort of client I liked when I did hairdressing.
I have no idea what any of my exes did after we split.
So wait, did the two girls you dated before your wife date each other? Because that would be AWESOME.
I would definitely like to hear your music!!! What two TV shows???
I like Cape Cod Girl's new nickname. Maybe BAG should just be bagged and we'll lovingly refer to you as Chewy.
Off to clean, clean clean. My MIL is coming to town this week.
Lot of interesting tidbits there, Badass, but how to use them against you...hmmmm...must formulate a plan....you know Cape Cod Girl loves me more than you, right?
Ok, I've got just a couple comments. First, way too much info about the toenails...toenails are gross as a rule. I have an incredibly hot hubby and can barely look at his. Of course he's a runner and well, I can't even go there with the weird colors his toenails are...right, now I am sharing way too much info.
ANYWAY... did the two women you dated before the Boss date each other? That would have been interesting! Anyway, in all serious, take it from one who knows. It's got nothing to do with you. Nada. Zip. NOTHING.
Oh and I am so with you on the racoons. E.V.I.L!
Nice random list!
OH! And there is no 415 area code in Massachusetts. It's 413 and covers the western part of the state. When I was young there were 2 area codes in Mass. Now there are 5 total and special ones just for cell phones as well!
Yeah boy, you crazy ... 415 is MY area code from San Francisco. REPRESENT!!! Though I'm a total weird autistic savant with area codes too. So weird
Mad Woman: Typing fast is about the only good thing I've gained from my job.
Bernthis: You were just their good luck charm.
Cape Cod Gal: Better than calling me a human Chia pet.
Splodge: I know... The women at the salon I go to love me.
Aunt Becky: No, not that I'm aware of. That would have been kind of funny, though.
Employee No 3699: I'll get some music up on here soon. As far as the shows, they were just some local programming shows, on public television. Nothing you would ever have heard of.
Heather: She might love you more than me, but all I have to do is remind her of my V8 truck, and I'll have her back on my side again.
Moonspun: Toenails are gross, but I was struggling to find another random thing to write about. And I meant to type 413 for Massachusetts, and 415 for California. I got all confuzzled.
Lil Sass: Forgive me for my confusion... I really knew the difference, it was just a typo.
