First off, I upgraded to OS X Leopard at home a while back. This is pretty radical. What is un-radical is the fact that now my 9800xl Microtek scanner finds itself unable to communicate with my computer. Now I have to wait for them to release a new driver that works with the new OS. I still have my rinky-dink little 8.5x11" travel scanner, so I'll use that for little sketches and stuff, I guess… but it might be a short while before there's anything new and substantial of mine on here. (Which, ha ha ha, like that's never happened before.)

Alright, so next up, tagged me a while back to do this thing. It's been a long while since I've done one of these, so I guess I'm due.

Rules: Guidelines!

1. Post these rules in your journal so others know how it works.
2. Post 8 random facts about yourself in your dA journal.
3. At the end of your post, tag 8 more people to learn some random things about.
4. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged.

So here we go, in no particular order as I think them up:

1.) I have perfect dancer's arches. On both feet. I have no idea how this happened. My sister is the dancer, I'm the goofy cartoonist/writer. I don't even try to take care of them or anything, I've worn flat-soled Converse All-Stars since I was in the sixth grade. It irks her to no end. I've also been told that I have "great legs" by other family members, but I'm almost always in long pants because they're so pale.. so who can even tell.

2.) I genuinely love anything sung by Tom Jones. He's the textbook definition of cornball and that makes him all the better. What a set of pipes on that guy, seriously.

3.) I am a dog person, not a cat person. I'm sorry, cats just don't do it for me. Cats are too moody and manipulative. Dogs are very honest. And even when they try to lie, their tail doesn't let them.

4.) The Yip-Yip Aliens on Sesame Street used to terrify me when I was a wee little thing. You know, these guys: [link] They'd wiggle onto the screen and I would run from the room screaming. Apparently I had a big problem with creepy puppets as a kid, as the Letter People's Mr. M rendered me almost comatose that one day of kindergarten: [link]

5.) I talk to myself all the time when no one else is in the room. It is highly embarrassing when someone can hear me doing it. Sometimes I make up character dialogue out loud in the shower. Okay, I do that almost every shower, actually.

6.) I haaaaate turtleneck sweaters or shirts. Ohhh I can't stand wearing them. Anything rubbing up on the front of my neck is just totally out of the question.

7.) My hair started thinning during my freshman year of College. That was around 2002/2003. It's gotten pretty thin up front, and I'm always kind of self conscious about that. My high forehead doesn't help matters. I try to represent that in drawings of myself, the huge billboard-esque space above my eyes and below the hairline.

8.) I am very good at Tetris: [link]
I played that one game for about a month, off and on, closing the DS lid and letting the game sleep until I picked it up again. I finally got to a point where I wanted to play a different game and I had to just give up and suicide bomb myself with falling blocks (as illustrated in the picture). If only I could get paid for that skill, somehow.


…aaaaaand THE END. Alright, I tag… uh.

Dammit.

I tag… the first eight people who comment on this, I guess?

I DON'T KNOW, THERE ARE LIKE A MILLION PEOPLE ON HERE. WRAH.
