Tagged!

Well, I've been tagged by Elrania Peredhil, Earwen, and Lyceria. I realize that there a lot of you out there who absolutely detest tags, and others who absolutely love them. So, in an effort to please a majority, I'll complete the tag but make it as humorous/interesting as possible. Here goes:

~16 Things you would never guess~

1. I just may be the finickiest eater known to man. It's not a matter of preferring certain foods over others, or simply disliking the taste of some foods. I honestly could not choke down a large variety of foods. For instance, I'm not exaggerating when I say I'd probably rather eat a wriggling worm than a salad. In general I prefer packaged, sterile foods to homemade as well. I know, weird, huh? The whole thing makes for some awkward social situations.

2. Jacob Parker is actually my mild-mannered alter-ego. If you ever see me running for a phone booth, chances are someone's in danger.

3. I've never finished even the first of the Lord of the Rings books. Okay, we can put the pitchforks and torches down everyone ... did I mention I loved the Hobbit?

4. I've never done any jail time, but my lawyers were sweating it with the underwear incident.

5. I was public schooled through 7th grade. From then on I've done my school at home, through an online virtual academy. I'm getting my diploma in a couple weeks.

6. I've wanted to be an author since 5th grade. That's also when I made my first attempt and failure at completing a novel.

7. My friend and I draw a weekly comic strip called "Skeeter & Skunkbeard." It's published in a small newspaper in Montana and we hope to get it out to more newspapers this year. I'll post some of the strips on this blog in the future.

8. At one time I was a respectable member of society... but that was before the underwear incident.

9. I randomly do impersonations throughout my day... bad ones.

10. When I was little, my family went on vacation, and my dad had me on his shoulders. I don't know where we were, but a giraffe leaned down and literally started eating my hair.

11. I love fishing so much that when I was younger my dad and I built a seven foot fiberglass boat.

12. Ever since the underwear incident, 28.6% more of the population of my town wears belts.

Sorry, that's all I've got. And now onto part 2 of the tag epic.

Okay, as for part 3, the Narnia tag, I've got to be honest; the last time I read the Narnia books was probably 3rd grade... I only read them once, and though I recall enjoying them, I remember little about the actual content. But I do remember A Horse and His Boy was my favorite.

And now to pass on the torch. I'm going to tag my good friend JT Norlander at Proeliator of Lux Lucis. I skipped a lot of questions, JT, so you can go to the blogs of the people who tagged me to get the full version.
