my 12 (open call)

Rate: 13 Flag

Twelve things about me that you may not know. Interesting challenge.

1) my love of theater made it's self know by the time I was six.

2) although many people have sterotyped me as a biker I've never liked to ride them.

3)  i really can fix anything with a wire on it and many of those things have been worth millions.

4) I sometimes limp because I tore out a knee climbing in the Alps. Not a lot of fun climbing down.

5) more than once I've looked at the business end of a gun pointed at me. Machine guns are scary. A Cobra attack helicopter that appeared out of no where and stopped fifty feet from me where no one would have ever found a thing or gone looking.

 6) I've had a deep interest in art since I was eight. Thank you King Tut.

7) Everyone assumes I like sports. I couldn't care less. However I'm still having work done to repair hockey injuries thirty years later.

8) I have about as many credit hours in the Fine Arts than I have in my field.

9) I'm a stagehand that like all others is duty bound not to tell stories about famous people.

10) a theripist told me to go to AA even though I wasm't an alcoholic so I'd have some structure and people to talk to during my divorce.

11) I'm not bitter about that divorce and I have a herd of flying elephants.

12) I'll give up my 86 Jaguar xj6 when they --- can I be buried in it?

you are a fascinating guy and never fail to interest me with your myriad experiences, talents and interests.

so you're a jaguar lover too. I once owned (or my ex husband really) a 3.8S which was the most beautiful, smooth riding car in the world. I wish I had one now and I wish if I did I could afford to maintain it because thats the rub...keeping those beauties up. ::sigh::

I was raised practically in the brooklyn museum so i know about love of tut and egyptology and the magnificent art associated with it. I still have my king tut catalog from the met. it was some show.
You know I think you are brilliant...an information collector...what is 12?
This is so cool!

Beautiful list, ws...xox
It's in the blood, isn't it? The Theater.
You've sure had some interesting times wshanz. I hope you expand the Cobra story someday.
This was really interesting...I can think of a few other things people don't know...but I don't tell either.
Wish you were around to fix some lamps. Rated.
