I’ve been tagged by Nic to list 5 (more) little known facts about myself. Hmmm…let’s see…
1) I have two tattoos (and want more).
2) I can fold my hands in half (which is good for escaping handcuffs and reaching into jars).
3) I once hung out with Weird Al after a concert in Clio, Michigan, after standing in the pouring rain for two hours (it was so worth it!).
4) I have lived in six different states.
5) My favorite number is 13.
I’m tagging every single one of my Minions. Either on your blog or in the comments here, tell me five things about you!

1. I’m a junior in high school
2. I write urban fantasy.
3. I tend to act out(literally) the scene’s in my stories it looks like I’m talking to mayself or going crazy.
4. I’v enever been out of the state of Texas*sighs*.
5. I hate birthday cake bought from the store.

Tristian, it sounds like we’d get along just fine (I act out scenes too). Don’t worry, you’ve got a long road of life ahead of you–I’m sure it’ll lead out of Texas sometime.
Hey Heather,
Very interesting. I’ve spent most of my time in Texas too, but I’ve also lived in Ohio, Minnesota, and Arizona. No tattoos–I’m anti-pain whenever possible.
Tristian,
Have you tried Target’s birthday cakes? Delish! (In my opinion).
No I’ve never tried Target birthday cake, I’ll have to try it. I really do hope I get out of Texas someday Heather. I want to go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and I’m glad I’m not the only writer who acts out the scenes in his stories.

Tristian, as someone who has done a bit of traveling, let me just say that every place in the world has something special and magical to it. Sometimes the trick is to find it. Sometimes it is what you don’t see that makes it special. The rest of the world will still be there when it is your time to travel. Let it happen when it will and enjoy where you are and when you are.
I have driven across the entire state of Texas and I have to say that there are some amazing and beautiful spots there, as well as people.
If you can find the space to be in the moment, and be ok with what is so in your life in that moment, you will go far in anything you choose to do.
Best of luck.
Here’s just one thing: I was born and raised in Michigan and have never heard of Clio. This means it must either be a suburb of Detroit or a place even more podunk than the lawn ornament ridden lands of western Michigan.
I was born and raised in Michigan as well (my sympathies)–Clio is just one town I lived in, a suburb of Flint in the thumb. Podunk? Oh yes. I said “Michigan”, right?
Tristian, while Ewoh has a wise point, I can also relate to the feelings of wanting out. I wanted out of Michigan more than anything when I was younger. I left and haven’t looked back. If you really want to leave Texas, work hard, study hard, and it’ll happen for you.
Meanwhile, let’s here five more things from minions…
Born and raised in Michigan as well. Never thought it was anything special…until I moved away and stayed away for a couple years. And now, I’m just starting a new YA novel set in my old hometown of Holland. It’s gonna be so freak! I can’t wait to have a dream about it so I know what the plot will be…
Oh– I have one tattoo. It’s a sun/moon crop circle design on my ankle, hooked to a band like an ankle bracelet all the way around. It’s almost a year old. I would like another sometime.
I went college with one of the guys who started Blue Man Group.
And…um…I had dinner with Madeleine L’Engle in 1987.
Since you didn’t actually name any minions and, since I am now immune to being tagged, I have to assume I wasn’t included. 10 interesting or unique things about me, tagged twice as it were, about overloaded this poor, border-line senile mind as it was. 5 more would be information overload and I might do something rash … like get back to writing.
Well, my sons actually scored backstage passes to hang out (and eat from the food services table) with Weird Al after a concert! (My brother got the passes and took them. While my husband and I cooled our heels outside, extremely pi**ed off because we were Weird Al fans long before my stupid sons were born!)
Thanks for the advice everyone.

Five more things. Huh. Can I make them up? No? Okay…
Huh…
One of my two cats used to think she was a dog. She’d fetch. Still tries to sometimes. But she’s also geriatric and cranky, so now she just growls at me when I try to move her off my computer chair.
I used to think that you had to be old to live in Florida. That’s because I would visit my grandparents there — and they lived in a retirement community. Only “old people” could live there. Thus, I thought all of Florida was ageist.
I also used to think that it was “pizzer” and “seltza.” (I grew up in Brooklyn. Whaddaya expect?)
I wasn’t allowed to have Atari when I was a kid. To this day, I still resent the hell out of that. (Hear that, Mom and Dad??? Huh? Hah?)
Contrary to popular belief, I didn’t work my way through college by being a stripper. But I did pull a stint at a clothing store that had an infamous back room filled with…um, things that required batteries. And towels.
EJ, who said you were immune? This is my third time with this meme!
Melanie, you RAWK! Weird Al is soooo cool.
Jackie, come on over! I’ll let you play PS2!
