Well, we (or rather I) got tagged by Megan and The Bad Kitty Cats with the meme Seven Strange Things About Me. This was almost two weeks ago, though we at CatSynth remember it like it was yesterday…
OK, so I decided to dust off the list of interesting facts about me from my music-and-professional site. It's supposed be the sorts of facts that would not appear in an official bio, program notes, or in the normal course of writing for this site. A few of them needed updating, like switching the career-related stuff to the past tense. I added a few more as well, pushing the total up to 95. And from that list, I selected 7 that I have deemed to fit the “strange” requirement:
05. I have never been to Kansas, but have visted every state that borders Kansas.
11. I call myself a cynical optimist.
32. I have a large orange stuffed clownfish named “Big Fishy”.
46. I once slept in a car and discovered the next morning that another car only yards away was ripped open by a bear.
62. I used to regularly listen to Stockhausen while having a bagel and coffee and reading the Sunday New York Times.
70. I am fascinated by crumbling concrete walls, graffiti, vacant lots, the spaces around highway overpasses/underpasses.
73. I have camped in Death Valley during the summer time. The daytime temperature was over 120F, and the night temperature was about 90F.
Hey, the requirement was “strange”, not necessarily “exciting”.
So the next step is to tag some more of our blogging friends with this meme (hopefully they're still my friends after I do so):
1. Meeyauw.
2. Gattina (of Gattina's Writer Cramps)
3. Jason of Xenogere
4. Jellypizza (I know, that's two in less than one week, but I'm curious to hear the results).
Bears, you're on notice!
[strong]ACK DEATH VALLEY[/strong] that sounds about right for our IN the HOUSE temps a few weeks back lol…
If you have not been to Kansas, well it's pretty… and I suppose since I lived on the Missouri River in Jefferson City MO, we had to do something… like look at wheat fields in KS. hehehe. It's a great state a bit weird to me … but great.

Your friends will probably keep you. I still like Megan even though she tagged me. hehe
