			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Relax your gag reflexes, I&#8217;m about to propagate a meme. I&#8217;ve been asked by <a href="http://mikelangford.posterous.com/7-things-you-might-wish-you-di">Mike Langford</a> of <a href="http://www.tweetworks.com/groups/view/7ThingsAboutMe">Tweetworks</a> to spill <em>7 things you wish you didn&#8217;t know about me</em>.</p>
<p>The Rules</p>
<ul>
<li>Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.</li>
<li>Share seven facts about yourself in the post.</li>
<li>Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.</li>
<li>Let them know they’ve been tagged</li>
</ul>
<p>Okay, whatever.</p>
<ol>
<li>I rank <a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_3kG-7I_Y6k">Roxanne</a> very high on the list of best and greatest songs in the world.</li>
<li>I maintain two superstitions: $50 bills are bad luck, and I get to make a wish if I spot a clock that reads 11:11.</li>
<li>I have tattoos, a brand, and pierced ears. You&#8217;d never know.</li>
<li>I can watch <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097236/">Dream a Little Dream</a> on mute. I already know the words.</li>
<li>There are <a href="http://www.dragspecialties.com/fatbook/14/257/5908831">handlebars named after me</a>. I used to spend more time on motorcycles.</li>
<li>I have never found Sarah Michelle Gellar attractive. Her starring role in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118276/">one of the best television series of all time</a> did nothing to change this.</li>
<li>I have degrees in art, biology, and architecture. If my career in web folds, I hope to create well-planned structures for fruit flies.</li>
</ol>
<p>I think I did pretty well. I didn&#8217;t even complain once about how this is like the *<em>forward this on</em>* emails my mother forwards me, or how I&#8217;m too busy not fitting in to play along with such things. I also successfully avoided gushing about my awesome family only to later realize kidnappers may have read this post.</p>
<p>Now, to pick 7 people who will enjoy this as much as I&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://twitter.com/stefanhartwig">Stefan Hartwig</a> is gonna love this.</li>
<li><a href="http://andrewhyde.net/">Andrew Hyde</a> [<a href="http://twitter.com/andrewhyde">@andrewhyde</a>] has probably already done this.</li>
<li><a href="http://saint-rebel.com/">Joshua Strebel</a> [<a href="http://twitter.com/strebel">@strebel</a>] &#8211; this is your chance to tell us about your rugby days.</li>
<li><a href="http://unstoppablerobotninja.com/">Ethan Marcotte</a> [<a href="http://twitter.com/beep">@beep</a>] will not be made fun of at all for participating.</li>
<li><a href="http://learntoduck.com/">Micah Baldwin</a> [<a href="http://twitter.com/micah">@micah</a>] will be awarded one inbound <a href="http://learntoduck.com/">douchebag</a> link for playing.</li>
<li><a href="http://blog.guykawasaki.com/">Guy Kawasaki</a> [<a href="http://holykaw.com/">Holy Kaw!</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/guykawasaki">@guykawasaki</a>] &#8212; this could be your 15 minutes of fame.</li>
<li><a href="http://gadgetopia.com/">Deane Barker</a> [<a href="http://twitter.com/gadgetopia">@gadgetopia</a>] will be the first to complete.</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;m told failure to participate results in the clubbing of puppies. See the rules above. Enjoy.</p>
