Once in a while, I’ll get drawn into one of those things going around social media where somebody does a thing, then challenges everyone who sees it to do the same. Recently on the Fediverse someone posted such a thing where you describe five interesting things about yourself.
Considering that I have always had a raging ego and have had six decades to do interesting things, I was surprised of how I could not think a single interesting thing about myself.
I realized maybe I should try to rise to this particular challenge, if only for my own self-aggrandizement.
I’ve chosen to stick with things from my first 20 to 30 years. This list has taken me days and, perhaps, says more about me than I originally expected.
Whether anyone else finds these things interesting remains to be seen.
In no particular logical order:
- I Read the 1954 Encyclopædia Britannica Cover-to-Cover
- My Moral Compass (and My Sideburns) Were Shaped Almost Exclusively by Star Trek
- I Wish I’d Adopted the Metric System Earlier Because My Knees Might Be Better Today
- I Owe My Career to Greenbar Fanfold Paper, BBS Software, Dumb Luck, and Because Snow Sucks
- I Hate Writing
