It's taken me awhile to get to the meme Amy tossed my way... but let's see if I can think of 8 Fun Facts about me...
Here's the "rules" (like the pirate code, they're more like guidelines):
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
Okay, so, in the spirit of silliness, here we go...
1. Watching baby skunks nibble on grass makes me blissfully happy.
2. I am extremely lucky, especially at electric bike raffles, but jinx electric car raffles.
3. Neo-cons dig my poetry. I donate their checks to Planned Parenthood.
4. The first time I went to college I planned to major in wildlife management. The college also offered a degree in fish hatchery management.
5. I starred as Dorothy in our fourth-grade production of The Wizard of Oz. Since I didn't have any red shoes, I wore red socks. Unfortunately, it was filmed in black and white. It still bugs me that I didn't think of just wearing some other color of fancy shoes—who would have known?
6. I may be Thomas Paine's great-great-great-great-great granddaughter.
7. Mermaids scare me. A lot. Seriously.
8. I've won awards for training a pit bull, for proposing to convert an oil rig into a casino, and for keeping my temper.
I'm gonna reach out and tag locals Cookie Jill, Craig Smith (in case there's a lull in the News-Press drama), the Garden Wise Guy, and Noelle Aguayo.
I'm also going to reach out across the blogsphere to some dedicated folks I've been admiring, in case they want to play a little: Greenpa over at Little Blog in the Big Woods, Phelan at Homesteading Neophyte, my heroes over at Path to Freedom, and Emme at Simple Living (check out the Riot for Austerity 90% Emission Reduction Challenge she's got going!).

Hey, Queenie! Thanks for tagging me--most honored you're enjoying my blog. I will accept the challenge and continue to game. There might be a slight delay, as I'm in the process of moving my household and that's a full time job on top of my full time job.
And whacky liberals like your poetry, too. You could advertise your work as a bridge across the partisan divide :)
done
Your royal highness. I have accepted your challenge of 8 great facts and posted them at my website (http://gardenwiseguy.blogspot.com). Behold the creativity thou hast inspired. Thanks...that was fun (and a whole bunch o' work, too!)
