disclaimer~ weird, random... maybe.... Interesting... doubtful!

#1~ My middle name is Zan. In high school a few people called me that. My dad was an artist and my parents were trying to impress their artsy friends by giving me an interesting name. My family is chock-full-o-weird names... Otis (my grandMOTHER), the twins~Brad & Frad, Omie & Lomie, Madie & Vadie, RuBert, Donzie (a man), R.B. (no name-just the initials)...

#2~ I love lamps and hate overhead lighting. My neighbors leave a hideous pseudo-chandelier light glaring in their foyer 24/7 and just last night I was discussing with my sister a way to disable it. It makes me nuts! I wanted to omit the overhead fixtures when we built our house, but the builder thought that might not be the best idea... I have 8 or 9 lamps in my living room.

#3~ I used to own 2 alligators. My brother thought it would be hilarious to bring them back from his spring break trip to Florida. They were 12 inches long and very fierce. I named them Haywood & Leroy. My brother built them a plexiglas tank and they lived in our basement family-room. When they got to be about 2 feet long we sent them back to Florida in a friend's Winnebago. They hissed and ate raw hamburger meat. Not good pets...

#4~ I cannot go to sleep without a glass of water by my bed.

#5~ I love to eat ice. I know it probably means I'm sexually repressed or lacking in vitamin XYZ... whatever. Sonic has the best ice on the planet. Trust me. A Route 66 cup of Sonic ice is a wonderful, cheap treat.

#6~ I would live on a ship if I could. Or a houseboat. Or a few boards tied together. Nothing on this earth compares to the feeling of the being on the water. I adore any floating vessel and the feeling of the wind off the water. Ideally, I would live in southern Caribbean and spend at least part of everyday on those exquisite turquoise waters.

#7~ I nearly worship scissors. I use them everyday. I once wrote a poem in their honor. But, I have the crappiest, cheapest scissor... many pairs, but all pretty lousy. I am undisciplined in their use, cutting wire, wood, anything. I'd ruin a good pair, so I just use cheap ones.

Sorry, that's all I've got... and I think I'll tag...
