The Dark Avalon Scrolls

And if that wasn't random enough, this meme is gacked from geekgrrllurking

Okay, not gacked so much as I was tagged to tell you 8 random things about myself. Then pass this to 8 people, so here we go...

1. I've been on TV before, with my nostrils bigger than life. It was for Deafness Awareness Week back when I was studying to be an eduational interpreter for the dear. And yes, I know it's PC to say hearing impaired, but I'm going with the title of the degree as it was back then.
   
2. I have a knee-jerk reaction to scalloped potatoes if ham is cooked in the dish. It all stems back to when I was really sick [I think it was when I got the chicken pox] & my babysitter made me eat the scalloped potatoes and ham, despite my protests, & the meal was promptly thrown back up. I think I got "grounded" by the babysitter for faking it, too. *rolls eyes*
   
3. When I get worked up or tired enough, I laugh/giggle like a hyena. And yes, I have used this one before, but it's a fun one that makes me grin.
   
4. I was born 5 days after my parents got married...and 3 months before my mom thought I was due [tho' I was only 3 wks early].
   
5. My mother is allergic to, and detests, cats, but cats completely adore me. *heh* Which is why my mother will probably never stay with me if she ever visits... And cats LOVE to go sit by on her, too...
   
6. I've moved crosscountry [or at least halfway] twice via Greyhound bus. With half a dozen boxes mailed ahead of me to my end destinations. 36-48 hrs on a cramped Greyhound both times, too. *sighs*
   
7. I can sleep anytime, anywhere. Even a 15 minute bus trip to work. It started when I was a baby. If my parents couldn't get me to sleep, they'd bundle me up in the carseat and go for a drive. I'd be out before they got out of the driveway, but they'd go around the block to be safe. This would be the reason I don't get a driver's license, as I'm worried the "moving vehicle sleepiness" would kick in.
   
8. My great-grandmother of my dad's side [his dad's mom] thought I was named after her husband Amos, when in fact I was named after my mother's two favorite characters in Little Women. Tho' no one ever correct Gramma Sadie on her thougth.
   
9. If I have to die by natural disaster, I want to go via tidal wave/tsunami.
   
10. My favorite music to write to annoys the ever-living crap outta shatterpath. She says, "And I think you perversely enjoy it." My response? Yeah, sometimes... *veg*

And I'm not gonna tag anyone specifically, but you wanna do it, go for it!
