My Very Own Sports Analogy

And so the New Year rushes in, a bitter defeat for those anxious, reactionary types, and a saccharine reprieve for the happy procrastinator. With it comes a new opportunity to blog, and blog often. Well, maybe not often, but I've been tagged for "25 7 Things...", first by @dorisday129, and later @stuntbox, so I will, at least, blog now. It occurs to me that this is a post on social evolution begging to be written, but first thing's first.

How the Game is Played

• 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, leaving their names and links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged.

Seven Points Later

1. I'm not "deeply religious" or "intensely spiritual", but I do firmly believe in God, and I pray every night before I go to sleep.
2. Sometimes I go to the movies alone. I didn't want any witnesses when I saw Glitter. There weren't any.
3. I hated football for the first 14 years of my life, and I chose to follow the Jets because they wear green.
4. I have spent at least an entire week at various points in my life subsisting on nothing but apple pie; peanut butter and jelly; oatmeal cream cookies; marshmallows.
5. I don't go to the doctor because I don't feel sick, and if there's something wrong, I don't want to know.
6. I was once sucker-punched by a girl in junior high. Before I could decide how to retaliate, she was dragged away by intervening school officials. I got on the bus and went home.
7. I used to love scrambled eggs with ketchup until one morning I had them for breakfast and the very smell made me nauseous. I realize now that eggs are only intended to be eaten in cakes.
