8 Random Things

Posted by Rey

Doug did it and Rebecca did it, so I’m doing it: with that sort of company I have no choice. It’s 8 random things about me so you do it to if you want.

  1. Although my fulltime job pays me to work from home (cushy) and my freelance pays me to work from home (also cushy) my part time job pays me to stand behind a desk and fix computers.
  2. I joke about it a lot but I really do want to be a Jedi. With a lightsaber.
  3. When my wife was in labor with our second, the doctors said there was plenty of time for me to get breakfast. I made it back just in time to be the only person in the room as my daughter’s head popped out.
  4. I’ve read the Lord of the Rings every year since I was thirteen; that’s tapered down since having kids. Now it’s only every other year.
  5. I use a pseudonym for writing fiction.
  6. You may think eating an entire pie of New York pizza is a lot, but I assure you it is not.
  7. MCF and I worked on a comic concept together but it ended when our dreams were dashed against the sharp rocks of reality.
  8. I have this mark on my neck that was the result of a bug bite. I call it The Stain as a call back to Herbert’s Dune and then silently hope that I may be the Kwisatch Haderach.

    I’ll let you off the hook for that because the doctors said you could go. :)

    My wife often says “I silently couldn’t believe what they were saying. Next time, you will NOT leave!”

    Please tell me you’re kidding. Surely you don’t really joke about something this important. ;)

    Ok Muad’Dib, I’m thinking your observation of minutiae was impaired by your hunger. Your wife must have been giving off about 199 non-verbal cues for you to stay in that room. ;)

    LOL! I just almost typed a Dune spoiler for people who didn’t read the thing, crikey.

    I have to post something about my wife shortly.
