back all up in it

I haven't blogged in a while, but if anything can induce the need to blog (god, that sounds even more like a description of something that happens in an emergency room than I meant it to), it's being targeted by a list-predicated meme. For you delectation, English-speaking person with internet access:1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts. 2. Players start 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 post, 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.Ok, eight "random" facts about myself.1. My knuckle joints are a faithless and meretricious confederation of loose bone and cartilage knots; double-jointed. I can bend them backwards almost to my hand with no discomfort. 2. Approx. 75% of my chest-fitted clothing involves some shade of blue. This is because of an allergy I have to certain neighborhoods of the visible electromagnetic spectrum. 2a. Wouldn't "gentrification red" be a cool color for a t-shirt?3. I have perfect pitch, or something that shares 99.9999% of its DNA with perfect pitch. If I hear a song a few times, I can reproduce the key and intervals accurately. Unfortunately I can't play any instruments.4. Sometimes I like to read the Bhagavad Gita, and when I do I feel immoderately transparent, the sun shines through me and it's old by the time it hits the ground but I am not. 5. People are representable as shapes. Polyhedra, even triangles, but not just classic and symmetric forms; crenellated-cathedral, flying buttresses and smooth sloping habits with fingers, like elegant viriii immensely expanded, one round sharp corner of tremulous clinging difficulties with decathection perhaps.6. I'm an excellent tree-climber.7. A partial list of careers I've been attracted to: entomologist, etymologist, theologian, lemon and apple thief (see item six of this list), cook, swordfish rodeo fishboy, subarctic fisherman8. I have possibly the nerdiest-sounding middle name of anyone I know, and I'm not going to say what it is.Sorry, I'm not tagging anyone else.
