I’m a lemming. The “Five Things You Didn’t Know About Me” meme is a fashionable kind of blog post lately (is it ever really not fashionable?), so I’ll indulge.
- I’ve never had a cavity.
- When I was twelve years old, I beat the NES port of Lifeforce after a mere 30 minutes had elapsed since I purchased it and brought it home…without the infamous U-U-D-D-L-R-L-R-B-A-START Konami cheat code.
- I have no slapshot. Wrist shot? Check. Snap shot? Check – it’s quite good, I must say. Acceptable backhand shot? Check. But an intimidating slapshot is something that I’ve never had and likely never will.
- I like Rush.
- I suck at arithmetic. You’d think that having a degree in Computer Science, which requires many math courses like Calculus, Discrete Math and Linear Algebra would mean that I’m a human calculator. I’m not, and far from it. Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing in my head is a chore. You don’t want me to figure out the price of a discounted item in a store if a calculator isn’t nearby. I can help you with permutation sets, but don’t ask me off the cuff at a restaurant to figure out what to leave for a tip.
Now you’re in the know. It’s customary to tag 5 other bloggers to post a “Five Things” entry of their own, but I won’t inflict that on anyone 😉
