Interesting Things I've Posted in other LJs

[mcroft]

So, somebody started the Interesting Things meme, which asks your friends (and total strangers) to post an interesting thing about themselves. I think this is great! People have lots of cool things to share. I'm going to keep track of the interesting things I've posted, and where in this entry, so that I can find them again. They're starting to fall off my first friends page...

I told tristam (link) :

President George Washington was my fourth cousin seven times removed. Through him (and some very dodgy internet genealogy), I can trace my ancestry back to Adam and Eve.

I told adpaz (link) :

I wore a kilt for my wedding.

Regimental.

I told princejvstin (link) :

One of my high school friends' father produced an independent low-budget horror movie. It was filmed in his house on the weekends for a year. Charles had a major part in it, and begged his parents to let him re-dub all his voice parts when his voice changed before the movie was released.

I told immlass (link) :

When I was in high school, I had a friend whose father painted covers for fantasy novels. I found the only one I know of that looks like me on the net today.

I told beingfrank (link) :

My grandmother led the fight to allow student nurses to smoke in the dormitories at the University of Minnesota. She later died of lung cancer.

I told djinnthespazz (link) :

I have been around horses twice in my life. The first one stepped on my foot, and I fell off the second one and broke my arm.

I told reytheist (link) :

I believe that while it is normal to hate Rhona Jaffee's Mazes and Monsters (starring Tom Hanks), true appreciation of it evokes loathing.

I told tryslora (link) :

I once came in second in a talent contest for playing the Michael Palin role in a dramatic rendition of Monty Python's Parrot Sketch.

I posted this meme to mcroft and my friends are replying (thank you all!)

I told mtfierce (link) :

My wife immlass and I attended college at the same time, did many of the same activiites, saw the same bands, and I sold her a CD once for a band I was working for, but we were not introduced for 10 year

I told bassfingers (link) :

My Great great great great grandfather was so mad at his step father for mishandling his inheritance that he stabbed him, immediately left the house. and rode from South Carolina to his grandparents' home in Virginia, because the two colonies did not have extradition agreements.

I told rikibeth (link) :

I once had a traffic fine commuted to 'time served'. immlass married me anyway, despite having to bail me out.

I told la_directora (link) :

I once sold Malcolm Forbes replacement batteries for his motorcycle helmet communication rig.

Alkalines.

I've answered this meme for tristam, adpaz, princejvstin, immlass, beingfrank, djinnthespazz, reytheist, trslora, mtfierce, bassfingers, rikibeth, and la_directora. That's 45% of my lj friends. That's it so far! More if more are warranted.

mmm
Posting them in one place is cool.

If it keeps me from duplicating my things, it'll have achieved it's purpose.

Well, and the narcissism, too.

[djinnthespazz.livejournal.com]

narcissism? what narcissism?

heh. I'm going to do this too... but I have about 6 new things I have to come up with... *scratches head and wanders off muttering*
