I guess I can add a few other tidbits.

11. I played Trombone & Baratone Horn in my High School Marching band. Marched the Rose Parade twice and was a Drum Major of an all city band. I don't play anymore so I donated my instuments to my high school.

12. I was a music major in college and was in choir & the chamber choral. I am a 1st Tenor (highest) but can sing the second Tenor & Baratone parts as well.

13. I have helped run car shows for the last 11 years and got to drive cars worth millions. It pays to know how to drive a stickshift.

14. 9 years ago my wife asked me what I truly wanted for my Christmas present , that's how I got my lizard Ginger.

15. I have twice brought home kittens without asking my wife. Good thing kittens are cute and she only was mad for a little while.

Hmmm.... but if I tell y'all, then y'all will know!

1 - Half way through tenth grade, we moved to Kansas and my twelfth school in life up to that time.

2 - Have shed others' blood twice as a child. Once when a guy tried to kiss me (punched him in the nose), and the second time (different guy

) was because I was told I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. (Nailed him.)

3 - I knit a mean sweater! Or at least I did a few years ago. I haven't made any in the past seven years or so. (What need for sweaters in the tropics?

)

4 - Studied German, French, and Russian in college. Concurrently.

5 - Really wanted to be a chemist. Enjoyed the heck out of Organic Chemistry in college.

6 - I'm left handed.

7 - Been married fourteen years to a man far more intelligent than I, but almost as weird.

8 - I often have bloody messy nightmares, so I don't like to see or watch scary things. (Like my mind needs any more visual aids.)

9 - Almost flunked out of fifth grade because I was too stubborn to do the homework. Aced every test, just didn't see the point of the homework if I could ace the test. Loooong round of tests and meetings with my parents, principal, and shrink resulted. Not to mention some "attitude adjustment".

Yeah, I passed. <.<

10 - Instruments played: clarinet, piano, bagpipes.

There.
Are ya sorry you asked?

Holy crud, Joe, we have the same voice range!

(I've been known to sing everything from 2nd soprano to 2nd tenor when the need arose. I can do the entire Messiah with the exception of the lowest 3 notes of "they that walked in darkness"... It's pretty dang funny to hear me try, though. Croooooaaaaak.....)

HAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!! OMG. I knew there were more than just the obvious things we had in common. Step into the WayBack machine with me, if you will:

Kay: *runs in house crying because big bad Michael from a block away has knocked her Popsicle out of her hand*
Mom: "Well next time he does something like that, you hit back! or Kick him or something!!"
..... (2 days elapse) .....
Kay sees Michael.
*WHAP!!$%&!!*
Michael:

tries to run home but hobbles instead, after having been kicked squarely in the family jewels by the town bookworm.

Oh ya. I'm bad.

11. I gave my friend a hand forged Hanwei Tanto this past summer as a late birthday present, but 15min after opening it, he severed the tendons of his right pinky and ring fingers. I cleaned up, and needless to say, I've never seen so much blood, let alone on my hands, and my best friend's blood too >.<
12. I played the baritone/euphonium for 5 years, but gave it up when I went to high school for art class (for some reason, it's virtually impossible to do both)
13. Me and the aforementioned friend do knife throwing for fun.
14. the Hillside Strangler when to my High School
15. I am distantly related to George Eastman and in elementary school I found out I am third cousins with one of my friends.
16. The guy who is the lead investigator in the Mars Rover program, Steve Squyres, will be my professor next semester!!

17. I got to hear John Heffernan, the screenwriter for Snakes on a Plane, speak and answer questions at a special screening of his movie
