Friday night trite
"Once you've been tagged, you have to write a note with sixteen random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end, choose sixteen people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. You have to tag the person who tagged you." (Copy and paste this.)
1.) I failed the balance beam in Kindergarten, and I've maintained that same quality of clumsiness ever since.
2.) I prefer night to day, and it's always been far easier for me to work evenings than mornings.
3.) I might only turn my TV on once a month; I watch all my shows online whenever possible.
4.) I read in fits and starts: I might read 3 books a week for a month, then not read another one for a year.
5.) Speaking of which, I keep the same books in my bathroom at all times ("American Tabloid" and its sequel "The Cold 6000," by James Ellroy)
6.) I have a useless, but self-amusing, ability to use movie quotes in conversation; this is even more amusing when the other person gets it. (Brother Marky is appallingly good at this, too)
7.) I hate moving. I've lived in St Pete for 19 years, and I've had two apartments.
8.) I have a great talent for relating to each person on his or her level, but I don't especially like meeting new people.
9.) Every mistake I've made in 23 years of radio will be zooming through space at the speed of light for all eternity.
10.) Until last fall, I had never been admitted to the hospital, although I'd been there with a broken wrist once. That ended with three surgeries and a solid month's stay last winter.
11.) I don't own anything with long sleeves.
12.) For that matter, I didn't own any long pants for a couple years.
13.) Of all the guitars I've owned and gotten rid of, the two I'd most want back were my 1976 Gibson Les Paul Artisan, and this beautiful Yamaha acoustic I had in high school.
14.) If I had sufficient money, I could go weeks at a time without leaving my home.
15.) I don't fear death anymore, but babies scare me.
16.) When I was in the hospital, the thing I missed the most was my cat. (Pathetic, I know, but I couldn't sleep without her!)
Here's a bonus one: I'm not tagging anyone. Knock yourself out, or don't. Have a great weekend either way.

6. I <3 you :D
8. I can vouch for that :)
10. May all the powers that be conspire never to send you THERE again.
# 7 I'm with you on that one!
#'s 11 &12 I envy you
# 6 I do that often (most don't get it)
LOL It's not superhuman powers; just uninteresting physics. When I saw that you were writing your master's thesis on chimney swallows, I immediately added you to my neighborhood. Nerds iz kool. :-)
Absolutely, binoculars for birding and popcorn for sci fi nights, we're in total geekdom.
Regarding no.s 7 and 14... I am the complete opposite. I crave change. I move into a new place that I love, 5 months later I'm ready for a new new place, etc. It's always been that way, for as long as I can remember. Luckily my parents let me paint my bedroom walls however I wanted.
As far as not leaving the house... I would go absolutely bat-shit crazy. Any time I hurt myself (I don't have to tell you, this is not a rarity) and the doctor recommends resting and generally "taking it easy", I throw a fit. I get in trouble with my husband because I'm always trying to sneak off and do things, instead of laying on the couch, bored off my ass.
