About Me

MyGen Profile Generator

I am the little ray of sunshine that's right in your eye as you're navigating that tricky intersection.

I have been known to crawl through ceilings because I never learned how to pick a lock.

Someone gave me roses once. I put them in my office. One day about six months after they died, I got bored and spray-painted them silver.

I have an inflatable palm tree I call Larry in my office.

One of my many aliases is McGuyvor. Sometime ask me about the coffee pot, the microwave, and the dress.

And if you ever see a gorilla or a french maid - it wasn't me.

My Interests

Radio, cars, Mensa, art, swimming, hanging out with friends, the beach, anything outdoors, cartoons, math, do-it-yourself stuff, history.

Books:

Atlas Shrugged, Anne MacCaffrey, Robert Jordan, Piers Anthony, Robert Heinlein.

Sweet Rejection

Normally if you mention you nailed someone, a belt somewhere gets notched.  If a form of confectioner's sugar is involved, the belt getting notched probably has spikes on it. I nailed someone all...

What are the odds?

I don’t make a habit of kicking toads.  When the first foot out the door of your office building collides mid-step with a toad flying through the air at ankle-height, it’s more than c...

Duck!

Let me start by saying I am no tree-hugger.  Mankind and nature should try to peacefully coexist, but given the choice between say, a cockroach living, or my life, I'm gonna choose me.  That...

Magic

We got our cat, Magic, when I was about 6 years old.  She lived to a ripe old age, and with increasing years came a sense of indifference.  She had only one weapon left to her in this state:...

Oops

Why is it every time I take something apart, when I put it back together, I'm left with extra parts?  Yet every time, whatever it is I'm fooling with seems to work better.  I think this is b...

Life happens.

I am so glad I'm not the only one who has blonde moments.  (Though I at least have an excuse:  I'm a natural blonde.) We start with Saturday.  I roll to a stop at an intersect...

Sheep

Ever tried counting sheep?  I can't.  I can't make them jump one at a time over the fence.  Mine always gang up on me, and trample the fence.  At which point, I try to pen them in ...

A Heady Feeling

I am a klutz.  It's imbued in my genetic makeup.  The other week I went bowling with a friend.  I wasn't dressed up, but then I wasn't dressed like a hobo either.  I was wearing a ...

Oy. I caved.

Seven random facts about me.  But first, da rules: Each player starts with seven random fact/habits about themselves. People who get tagged need to write their own blog about their seven things ...

Scarred For Life

A single sentence.  Three seconds to say it.  That's all it took to scar me for life. At this point, you may be thinking this sentence is something along the lines of "I'm leaving you." ...
