In much the same way a writer gets multiple assignments (and deadlines) all on the same day, Wordsmith tagged me with a meme late the other night. Before I could compile my five facts, I realized I was next in the AW Blog Chain #13.
When it rains, it pours, even in cyberspace.
With my blog chain post done, I figure I better play along with this tag before there is no one left on the World Wide Web for me to tag.
Here’s how it works:
Link to the tagger and post these rules on your blog. Share five facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. Tag five people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Okay… I have got to “steal” Plaid Earthworm’s random fact #1.
1. Random fact: I am left-handed, too. So is my sister, my nephew and his mother (which would be my sister-in-law). I also seem to have many of the stereotypical traits of left-handers… I can be accident-prone (or at least clutzy, but lucky! No broken bones or major injuries so far!) I’m creative and intuitive. None of these have been proven, of course, but it sounds like a good excuse when I stub my toe on the coffee table or drop a glass when I’m washing dishes.
2. Weird fact: I have a tank. No, really. This won’t seem weird to anyone in the scenario paintball world, but my husband built a paintball tank out of plywood and fiberglass on the chassis of a 1992 Chevy Blazer. It was featured on a trading card in an issue of RECON Magazine. I have been known to shoot out opposing tanks with a Nerf rocket from the turret and then giggle maniacally.
3. Weirder Fact: My cat, Panzer, was born on the passenger seat of the tank. We raised Mama Cat and the kittens until they were weaned. The other three kittens were adopted (the girls, Jade and Jasmine, went to one home, and Panzer’s brother, Jeter, went to another.) Panzer joins Xena, Onyx and Ghost as our furry little roommates who don’t know how to clean up after themselves.
4. Wow. What more can I say after I talk about my tank? I used to own several iguanas, a Savannah Monitor and prairie dogs, Wendell and Emmett.
5. Factling: I am a huge sci-fi fan, especially Star Trek, and used to edit a fanzine back when that kind of thing was widely distributed on paper. Oh, wait, I revealed that on Absolute Write. Okay, okay. I also had a huge crush on Jonathan Frakes, aka Commander Will Riker.
And Deanna Troi.
In that girly-crush, purely platonic way, of course.
Okay, who do I want to tag now?
Moonslice over at Light Green Stairs
Lavinia aka Karen-Bob at Write Now
Rachel at That Which Deranges the Senses
My blog chain predecessor over at Twisted Fantasies.
And... Joanna at Life in the Middle (who may have been tagged before and, if so, I apologize.)

A tank! How cool is that! I'll have to dig up a pic to show you, since you're a Trek fan. One year, we marched in a parade with a VW bug we turned into a Klingon Bird of Prey. I never knew lefties were more accident-prone than righties, although it makes sense with me. I don't wear high heels for fear of my own safety and well-being. :)
