Trish tagged me. I'm not tagging anyone back, though. If you want to pretend I tagged you and do this thing, have at it.

Once you've been tagged, you have to write a note with 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. You have to tag the person who tagged you.

So here's me:

1. I can't decide which I like better: Monster Java Irish Coffee or Monster Java White Russian.
2. I don't normally wish ill on anyone, but if we could trade live people for dead people, I'd trade in O.J. Simpson and get Peter Jennings back.
3. I live around the corner from a Goodwill Superstore but I find more stuff I can use at the Deseret Industries across town.
4. I am third-generation Connecticut. My grandfather and mother were both born in Stamford, my father was born in Hartford, and I was born in New Haven.
5. Driving on the 15 to go to work in the morning is a drag, but coming home the same way, at night, when the Strip is lit up like the world's tackiest Christmas tree, it's a little bit breathtaking.
6. The best thing about living in Vegas during the holidays, incidentally, is that your neighbors know they can't compete with the garishness of the Strip and therefore keep their own decorations comparatively tasteful.
7. My day job is working for one of the most respected parcel carriers in the world. It can be very satisfying work, but if someone would pay me enough money to retire and write full time, I would be all over that.
8. Whoever had the idea of wrapping the hot dog, one of my favorite foods, in a pretzel, another one of my favorite foods, is my new best friend.
9. I secretly wanted Eddie Izzard to play Professor Trelawney in the Harry Potter movies.
10. I love the Who and while I don't formally collect dozens of versions of Tommy, I have somehow wound up with dozens of different versions anyway.
11. If I could have any super power, I'd want laser boobs.
12. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
13. I drink stupid, ridiculous amounts of ice water.
14. I want to see Bolt, but only because I want to see Tokyo Mater.
15. I still lust madly after Tony Bourdain.
16. I still don't understand how Stephen Tyler made Liv Tyler.
