[meme] Ten Random Facts
May. 7th, 2009 10:14 am1. I love crab and I love avocado, but together, they're the perfect food.
2. I collect ways to start fires that don't involve matches. I don't have a fire piston yet, but I want one.
3. I have a weakness for scientific prints from the late 19th and earlier. This includes, but is not limited to, naturalists lithographs, anything to do with taxonomies, insects, birds, sea shells, cephalopods, fish, anatomy, yeah I'll stop.
4. I love live music. Jazz, nuevo flamenco, blues, bluegrass, hell, if there's a mariachi band playing, I'll stop for margaritas. I hate the lone folk singer who thinks he knows the song better than John Lennon or Bob Dylan did. I mean, really? Really? But 9 times out of 10, I will put money in the hat of a busker.
5. I love drinking chai in a café on the street or eating breakfast at the counter in a restaurant. It's a prime people watching spot.
6. I hate the term 'liberal'. I much prefer 'progressive'.
7. Why do I even care about #6? Because I believe that language matters. I believe that each word you choose reflects a specific meaning, a particular connotation in the overall context, and I don't believe in letting the opposition defining the terms of the argument.
8. I think torture is wrong. Always.
9. I have two tattoos. I want more. The money I was saving up for one, probably going to be used to pay the dentist now. @$%&#!
10. I knit. Not well, but I do.
I should do this for the pups, too.
