Ben’s Blog

I thought I was going to avoid this meme altogether, but dave managed to tag me before it died out. Here goes:

The Rules

• Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged.

The Seven Things

1. I’ve been a geek my whole life. My earlier memory is playing Wheel Of Fortune and Family Feud on an i286 class machine with DOS 2.0 (maybe 3.0?) and a CGA display.
2. I’m a two time high school drop out.
3. Before getting my first “computer job” (see below) I worked various jobs including: pizza guy, grocery store stock clerk, ball packer, various assembly line jobs, and exactly one day as a dry cleaning machine operator.
4. I have never left North America.
5. In high school at one time or another I could have been rightly called the following: wigger, punk rocker, goth, metalhead, hippie, band geek, and computer geek (obvious). Sorry, no photographs are available.
6. I was a vegetarian for nearly 5 years until an overwhelming desire for red meat got the best of me.
7. I’m engaged to be married on a yet-to-be-determined date.

I think this thing has gone far enough, so I won’t be tagging anyone else.
