Apparently the kids who blog have this thing called "tagging." Best as I can figure out, this is a cross between a chain letter and spin the bottle (played at Baptist summer camp, at least before the counselors left for the night to go secretly make out). Tagging, as best I can tell, is when you write a bunch of information about yourself in certain Playboy Playmate Questionnaire-type categories, then challenge others to do likewise. My friend Ashley has insisted that I respond to the following, so here goes.
What was I doing five years ago?-- Five years ago I was cooking fish. Uh, that was five minutes ago. Five years ago I was living alone in Austin spending too much time working, getting cranky, and being not married. Under "progress" that's scored as a "no."
Five Snacks I Enjoy-- Rice cakes, fresh fruit...uh, no. Whole wheat tortillas w/cheese, almonds, sunflower seeds, PB&J, and cashew nuts.
Five things I would do if I had a billion dollars-- 1. Give some away to church and missions. 2. Form some sort of foundation (like the "Phil Foundation" that Dan Fielding was a trustee for in Night Court) to bolster my fragile ego through buying public adoration. 3. Buy a house in the Rice University area, which I might come close to affording (or at least could come close to qualifying for the necessary loan). 4. Houston Texans season tickets (something else I might come close to affording). 5. Lord it over women who've turned me down for dates (that's emotionally healthy, right?).
Five places I have lived-- Houston, Austin, Galveston, Alexandria (La), New Orleans.
Five Jobs I Have Had -- Flunkie at school district warehouse, paint salesman, intern for Texas House member, Southwestern Bell assignment center clerk, and night print shop worker at school district print shop.
OK, Ashley. Satisfied?

I have a friend who bought a house in the Rice U area. She went to the Harris County appraisal district last week to protest her property taxes. She did a presentation on building materials. She noted that her walls were painted with latex paint and not gold; and there was nary a diamond to be found on any fixture, etc. They weren't amused, so she drained her savings account to pay $13,000 for her 2007 property taxes. She wants to move back to Austin. It's a cute house. Are you interested?
