8 Random Facts About Me
Tagged by Connie.
The rules:
- Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
- At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.
- Don’t forget to leave them a comment on their blog and tell them they’ve been tagged, and to come back and read your blog for the whole story.
Here's my 8:
- I eat butter. Not margarine, not axle grease, butter. Oh, and I still have low cholesterol.
- I have my grandma's eyes. They're in a little jar... Ok, I don't actually HAVE her eyes, but mine resemble hers...
- I am the laziest workaholic you will ever meet. <yawn>
- I can eat my weight in pizza. Actually, never been tested, but I bet I could...
- I like boxer-briefs, loose in the legs yet holds everything else in place.
- I installed a high rise toilet because regular ones make me feel like I'm sitting on the floor.
- I've never been to a concert. Any kind of concert, rock or otherwise.
- I'm ambidextrous and dyslexic, so I can screw up writing twice as bad.
Rather than tag everyone, I'll throw out an open invite to particiapte. Tell me 8 things about you!

butter is nectar. I'd say more but am on phone.
1- I went out with Dana Carvey when I was 25 and he was 24.
2- I was 21 when I realized what an orgasm was - at which point I'd been married and divorced - and dated - all without this element in my life.
3 -I had my poetry published when I was 7 (it was Readers Digest and lame)
4- I won an art scholarship when I was 7 (it was off the back of a matchbook and also lame - so I could draw the "pirate" big deal)
5- I blew up my parents screen door and all their geraniums when I was 6. (firecrackers, 4th of July, I was wanting attention)
6- I am just now learning how to have best friends and I have 3 (4 counting Benny!)
7- My kids NEVER when through the "I hate you, mom" phase
8- There was a time when I was not faithful to my partner - now I can't imagine being anything BUT faithful. Must be the partner! :)
You're killing me with the pizza because I can't have it anymore since I have to avoid dairy (lactose intolerant), tomato sauce (reflux), and wheat (allergy). I still remember how amazing it was......*breathes in deeply*.....
And the high-rise toilet thing makes me laugh. The high-efficiency toilet in our new apartment is a high-rise toilet and my feet almost dangle its so high (I am 5'7"). Since we have moved here, its hard to adjust to other toilets, when I go out, because you are right in that it feels like you are sitting on the floor.
I hear he lives in SF now with his wife. I think his kids are likely HS or College age. I see by his website he is back to doing stand up at college venues.
That fits. The Dana I knew could not seem to get stand up out of his system. He felt he was a comedy giant and my guess is he still does.
As a person he was friendly, intelligent, and family orientated. He was real and I think that is what drew me to him. He knew he was talented but he did not use that to "get" stuff of people. He had his family and his friends and that was enough for him.
I wrote a line in a song that "was" Dana to me then
"I have my friends and they all go home with me. They're enough for me.
Don't you want me."

I gave up margarine and shortening in favor of butter and lard about 2 or 3 years ago. In that time my cholesterol has dropped about 25 points. Let's face it. Ma Nature knows more about good nutrition that the chemists do.
