...since I've been tagged. Now I have two. Here's the first, via Gizmorox:
TO DO: List 5 things you do, did or like that some may consider “totally lame,” but that you are totally proud of. Tag 5 others:
- First, one from the past. In high school, I competed in the Illinois State Drafting Competition. Yes, such a thing existed. This was back before computers fully seized control of the drafting biz. I was a finalist at my regional competition and got to go to the state finals at U of I in Champaign. Another kid and I made it from my high school in different divisions (I was in the mechanical drawing category). Despite having all the state-of-the-art drafting equipment - technical pencils, compasses, an electric eraser - I didn't win. I thought I did pretty well, but got marked down for using a lettering template, something that was never mentioned in the rules. Fucking bullshit.
- I wear the same kinds of clothes I wore when I was in third grade. Well, the clothes are a little bigger, but they're the same. I wear solid polo shirts, flannel shirts, Levi's (505s), and khaki shorts. I'm all about comfort.
- As I probably mentioned before, I was a huge Mr. Rogers fan, and I believe most people consider him extremely lame. Not me.
- I went trick-or-treating when I was a senior in high school. You think that's lame, but it was hilariously fun and I got tons of candy.
- I listen to my one Enya CD every now and then. I should be ashamed, but I'm not.

Groovy! I've never been tagged before. How exciting. Is that lame? I don't care if it is so I guess it counts.
Great stuff Chris, and thanks for the tag. I must now retreat to stately Skylersdad manor for some reflection upon my life...
I would honestly love to see samples of your drafting.
I may be lame, I think that stuff is mucho aesthetically pleasing.
Hey Chris, I was a huge Mr. Rogers fan also! In fact, he practically made me what I am today! He ROCKED!
I think you should listen to an Enya CD everyday.
I'll get to the tag soon.
Just had to say that I LOVED Mr. Rogers, but my mom thought he was kinda weird and didn't understand why I liked his show so much. Maybe because he was the only male role model who told me I was special other than my grandpa. And he had cool shoes and sweaters.
Mr. Rogers was the best and he is someone who helped save PBS when it was under fire from 1969.
Check it out on youtube.
I love being tagged!
That came out sounding worse than I thought.
Chris, I love your responses, especially the one about your love of comfort clothes. Bottom line of life: It's all about comfort. ALL about comfort.
Champaign, IL is very close to where I went to Tech School while in the Air Farce. I was stationed at Chanute AFB during the summer of 1986. Fond memories of Missile Maintenance School.
Nothing wrong with comfort! Also, Mr. Rogers is very awesome. When I worked for the TV station I'd tune the satellite in to PBS so I could watch Mr. Rogers on the side instead of the crap ABC programming that I was peddling to the masses.
Thanks for playing! :)
TLWDL- Glad I could be the first.
SD- You don't have a batcave, do you?
Splotchy- I'll try to scan some stuff.
DS- He did a fine job.
GM- My motto: Go with the (Orinoco) flow.
Amy- I always thought there'd be some scandal that would come out about him, but it turns out he was just a nice guy.
Laaw-yuhr- Is that where he testified before congress? I'll check it out.
May-B- I'll have to remember that.
Zed- Amen, sister!
Pavel- It's been a while since I've been back. I bet it's changed a lot.
Gizmo- I had no idea there was so much Mr. Rogers love out there! Thanks for the tag!
My answers are up my friend!
Thank god I finally have something to write about!
you sound perfectly normal to me
Shame on that Enya listening!
