I've been tagged (again).

I've been tagged (again). Only this time I was tagged before I got to get over being tagged the first time!

I was first tagged by Ryan Kelly, and I was supposed to give five things that are weird about me.

Then I was tagged by Brandon Huber, and I'm supposed to give seven things about me, from seven specific categories. However, I have run up against a problem. This is that Brandon only supplied me with six categories! Therefore I will take matters into my own hands, and mix Ryan's tag into Brandon's tag, so that they'll both be happy, and Brandon won't feel tyrannical.

BTW: The items listed in each category are not necessarily the biggest or most important seven things in each category. They are only, and should only be considered, seven of the many things in each category.

Here they are:

Seven things I hope to do before I die:

1) Get Married.

2) Rapidly shoot pop cans from the hip at a distance of 30' away without missing.

3) Take a ski trip into the Mountains somewhere.

4) Achieve some sort of gracefulness.

5) Build a race track on my property for off-road racing.

6) Build an engine that runs primarily on water.

7) See one other currently confidential, highly impossible, but altogether practical and original idea in production.

Seven things I say often:

1) What are you talking about?!

2) What on earth!

3) Oh my word!

4) Hey, how's it going.

5) Ga-Mownien!

6) Hello, this is Jonathan.

7) Yee-Haw!

Seven things that I'd like in a wife:

1) She must meet all my requirements.

2) She needs to enjoy, and be capable of doing things other than sewing and tea-parties.

3) A sense of Humor.

4) Two arms would be nice.

5) Two eyes would also be nice.

6) A couple legs would be helpful.

Seven things that are weird about me:

1) I have no attachment to most of my assets (ok, technically liabilities).

2) I require lots of pressure to get me to practice the piano (competitions, recitals etc...).

3) I don't understand people who get offended/embarrassed easily, and consequently offend/embarrass people without knowing it.

4) I have an unquenchable thirst for speed.

5) When I'm under pressure, or needing to do something that I don't want to do, the Refrigerator becomes a very attractive appliance (well, I guess it's the stuff inside that really gets me).

6) I really can't stand heat.

7) I can't stand the feel of ankle socks.
