Wow, I've never been tagged by anyone ever before -- never ever in my three-month-long carreer as a sober blogger.  Thank you Judith!

EIGHT THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT GEISHA-INTERRUPTED (AND DIDN'T ASK)

1) I was a competitive figure skater for seven years.  When I stopped competing, I taught ice skating lessons for two years after that.  This was all before I graduated high school.  Skating was an artistic outlet and all, but I'm pretty sure that the competitive nature of the sport, etc., fucked with my little mind quite a bit.

2) I have a fake tooth.  It was an adult tooth that never grew in when all the baby teeth fell out.  Growing up, it resulted in years of braces, even more years of a retainer with a plastic tooth on it (which I used to freak out my friends), and finally a tooth implant when I turned 18.  Since then, I've experienced recurring nightmares that involve my fake tooth's getting loose and falling out.  This is especially the case when I am feeling insecure for whatever reason.

3) I was a socialist in college.

4) I am always breaking my glasses. I have a tendency to fall asleep reading then roll over onto them. This has resulted in the ample use of duct tape, krazy glue, and dental floss in order to put my glasses together until they break again.

5) I get my periodic dosage of American culture by watching Flavor of Love on Vh1.com. 

6) I suffer from on-again-off-again addiction to the evil computer game SNOOD. My SNOOD inventory tells me that my addiction flares up during periods when I have a lot of other work I should be doing on my computer instead.

7) I dedicated my book to two of my high school teachers. I am not in touch with them anymore, so they do not know this yet.

8) I have been painstakingly trying to hide the fact that I have a blog from everyone I know in the real world, with the exception of the ubiquitous-T, who lives with me after all. But even the obedient-T is not allowed to read it most of the time. Jade knows that I have a site where I've posted her pictures, but I told her that she could only have the address after she quit her job. 

That said, I'm in the infantile stages of making online friends.  This makes me
nervous about who to "tag" here. 

OK OK, I belatedly TAG: MM, poatpaleo, THW, and Mr. Salaryman (if he is done playing with his new "God-Jesus" fortune telling robot...) Now you have to post "eight things we don't know about you (and didn't ask)".

 

Comments

I think they call the above spam. Some of the forum answers were down right dangerous. In case you didn't know, you can block that sender from doing it again. It's one of the nicer touches of Typepad. Of course you can delete both as well and if you decide to, you can get rid of my comments as well. They both have nothing to do with your list.

Although I am curious now as to what that flavor of love thing is. I think I've had enough Amerikan culture shoved down my throat, however. I think I'd rather get your views on Japanese culture and how it deals with addictions. How you deal with yours in another cultural setting. I was interested in your statements from another post, about how many go home for the summer. That implys to me that you're more dependent on the Western views on addiction recovery. Time will tell, even if you don't address it directly.

Oh and I sent The Wife a link for SNOOD. Yes, I'm a cruel and unusual person ;p

The Wife said to say, "It's a bad little game". I think it was really directed at me though. This way she gets to blame me when she's on it longer then she thinks she should be, it works.

In regards to Number 8: nothing gives me the willies more than having someone say to me "Hey, I think I found your blog!"

[Foreign Salaryman]

How could I ever be done playing with God-Jesus? This toy *needs* to get back in production so everyone can have one! It has improved my quality of life significantly and I could not imagine a life without it now!
