I was reminded of my fanatic MMORPG days as a little squee of delight escaped my lips when I discovered Tweety is posting again. It’s been ages since I’ve played EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot, or World of Warcraft but I still miss them from time to time.

In awe of his big gunz, I couldn’t turn down being tagged by Badblood. Here are seven things you might not know about me:

1. I, too, saved someone’s life. It happened the summer before I entered 8th grade, while I was attending church camp. After walking down by the river, I came back to the campsite and my friends were buzzing around, “Laura’s choking!” I could see my her passed out on the floor. I sent people to get adults, did the Heimlich maneuver, cleared her airway, and performed mouth-to-mouth. Once the adults showed up, I took off running. I ran through the trees until I couldn’t move any more, and I collapsed crying. I will never forget the feeling of hugging her once I finally calmed down.

2. As a senior in high school, I was voted Most Likely to Succeed and Most Reasoning.

3. Speaking of school, I was very involved in activities. I was the head athletic trainer, played trumpet and percussion in band, played soccer on the guys’ team, president of SADD, president of FTA, honor society treasurer, member of student council, I emceed all the shows and award ceremonies, and I said the morning announcements over the loudspeaker. Notice I was not in the chess club — we didn’t have one.

4. I’m not meant to be on the road when it rains. On the way to a football game, our van hydroplaned into the bus in front of us. An ice chest landed in the middle of my back, and I couldn’t lift my arms for several days. In my early 20s, I hit a concrete dividing wall head-on going about 60 mph because I lost control in the rain. To this day, I get very tense every time I’m in a car when it’s raining.

5. I know what it means to “see my life flash before my eyes.”

6. While working for Microsoft, I gave a presentation to a group of 10 people. Yep, Mr. Bill was one of them.

7. I like to slow dance on rooftops.

1. I’ve come to realize that my last kiss was: too long ago.

2. I am listening to: small birds chirping, and the wind through the trees.

3. I talk: to myself.

4. I love: finding new things to read.

5. My friends: are my family.

6. My Car is: too cute!

7. My love life: is where I want it to be.

8. I hate it when people ask: questions when they don’t want the answers.

9. Love is: is a good comic strip.

10. Marriage is: what you make of it.

11. Somewhere, someone is thinking: about you in a tinfoil swimsuit.

12. I’m always: ready to try something new.

13. I have a secret crush on: If I told you, it wouldn’t be secret.

15. My cell phone: can beat up your cell phone.

16. When I wake up in the morning: I make my plan for the day.

17. Before I go to bed I: play a few games of Sudoku.

18. Right now I am thinking about: getting ready for my trip to Houston.

19. Babies are: the future.

20. I get on myspace: when I get an email that says I have a new message/comment.

21. Today I: have to fix my computer.

22. Tonight I will: curl with a new book.

23. Tomorrow I will: see what the future holds.

24. I really want to: find some clarity.

I always knew there was something about Wil …

A brilliant learner with a knack for almost everything, you choose to spend your efforts in the pursuit of travels that extend your own potential.

Maybe I am sick of following rules and regulations!

(The first time I took it, I came up as Kosh, but I never watched Babylon 5 so I took it again.)

A reclusive seer shrouded in riddles, you reveal very little and only what is deemed congruent with your plans.

Understanding is a three edged sword. Your side, their side, and the truth.

Which Princess Bride Character are You?

Westley has some great lines:

“I do not envy you the headache you will have when you awake. Until then, rest well and dream of large women.”

“We are men of action. Lies do not become us.”

“There is a shortage of perfect breasts in the world. It would be a pity to damage yours.”

and, of course:
“Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.”

(and worth every penny!)

And, posts will be hit or miss over the next two weeks.  Anatomy and physiology lab final is only a week away, and lecture final is a week and a half away.  If you see me online, I should be studying!

But, I did take the time to take this silly meme…
