Five things about me
Submitted by Irregular Shed on Thu, 2007-01-11 14:30.
There's an interweb meme doing the rounds on the blogofractal at the moment. You get tagged, you have to say five things about yourself that most people in the blogotrapezium don't know about you, then you tag five other people to do the same.
I don't know five other people who a) would bother, and b) haven't already been tagged, so I'm going to leave the tagging and just make a cordial suggestion that Grim and Gazmond have a go, in the comments here or something. Anyway, five things about me that most of the blogotriakisoctahedron doesn't know...
- I can fit my fist in my mouth. Always a handy skill when you're marooned on a desert island.
- I'm a fainter. I faint. Needles are the biggest source of fainting but pain from falling over once caused me to faint. However, as a trained first-aider I can get myself into the recovery position - basic survival instinct.
- My greatest regret is not finishing my degree. I really wish I had, looking back... but my mind had gone.
- If I had been born a girl, I'd have been called Julie Sharon Anderson. It was the early 70s...
- I've got a smidgen of OCD. I obsess easily, and these obsessions last for a few days before fading out. Regrettably for the house, cleaning isn't often one of my obsessions.
Erm, so there. Thanks Pip for tagging me in the first place, and for tagging Leff and Rakka so I didn't have to.

there have been times
when I actually regretted finishing my degree. During my 'time off' from 'the industry' it actually made getting jobs harder. I was overqualified for every non degree job, and under qualified for every other degree job. Leaving nobody that wanted to hire me.
But now that I relove 'the industry' I guess it doesn't hurt. But half the people I work with don't have degree's, or have them in something else. So I don't know if my degree helps any, anymore.
i feel the same way.
i also regret finishing my degree program. i don't really regret the classes but the degree itself is just a useless piece of paper that i have locked up in storage. i does nothing for me and, like leff, makes it more difficult for me to get jobs for which degrees aren't typically required.
ah, well.
when we meet you, i have to see this fist in mouth talent of yours. i've never known anyone that could do that! people have tried with hilarious consequences but no one's ever succeeded.
it's not really a talent...
... more of an ability, or maybe a gift =)
Mind you, I haven't tried for ages (and can't right now due to a mouth ulcer) so maybe, now my hands are all flabby and old, I've lost the talent/ability/gift.
So, you're coming to Wales then? ;)
My sister can fit her fist
My sister can fit her fist in her mouth too, she was nicknamed Jaws at school =) Also, I too am a fainter (but I think you already knew that). When I faint, I fit which is unpleasant for all concerned.
Anyway, my five ting:
1. I unofficially passed my driving test at the age of 12
2. I once wrote a computer game called Clomp
3. I have a mild form of torettes which makes me grunt like a small pig.
4. I am an ordained minister of the ULC and am permitted to perform weddings and funerals in many countries.
5. I'm qualified to be a woodland manager.
As an aside, my greatest regret is not (yet) having a number one hit single. (That really is my greatest regret).
wow, uh, those are five
wow, uh, those are five really bizarre things, glad to have tagged you :)
can you fit your entire fist in your mouth, or just past the knuckle?
It's not something I
It's not something I generally do on a day-to-day basis, and it may be that I can't do it any more (I can't try right now, I've got a mouth ulcer on my lip). But last time I did it (in a pub, I believe) I could get the majority of my fist in my mouth.
Seriously, being stranded on a desert island would be easy to survive with that talent.
