The rules of acceptance are: I must admit to seven random facts about myself, pick more people to receive the award.
1. Both of my thumbs are double jointed.
2. I don't like ketchup.
3. My feet are size 11-EEE. Make of that what you will.
4. I once skinned, quartered and butchered a full-grown doe using my pocket knife.
5. For whatever reason, I hate calling people up and talking on the telephone. Goes for Skype, too.
6. I have a mission statement for my writing, but I don't have a five year plan for my writing career. I do have a one year plan, but it's in shambles.
7. I drive a car with a manual transmission, something that is quite rare in the U.S.
In turn, I now bestow this award onto Icy Sedgwick, Maria Kelly, and, what the heck, Neil Gaiman, if only for his essay on the defense of icky speech.

I'm double jointed too, and I also hate calling people on the phone/Skype.
ReplyDeleteSize 10-EEE.
I know a few people in the US who drive with a manual transmission. Who are you hanging around with? ;)
My daughter is double jointed and it's creepy. She can bend her fingers in disgusting directions.
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to know what your mission statement is. I used to be really good about writing my goals down, but I haven't done that with my writing either. I think it's time I should.
Red: Let the wide-footed unite!
ReplyDeleteDanni: My mission statement is: "I will always leave the reader wanting to come back for more."
I love it, Tony!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award, Tony. Interesting facts. I have double-jointed elbows. Not much a fan of phones, either, even though I tend to make my living on them. :)
ReplyDeleteYou don't like ketchup! I drive a manual car too.
ReplyDeleteInteresting statements Tony - I like your mission statement. I don't have one or a plan - perhaps I should. ^_^
