tagged ... (!)

So my friend Sheri 'tagged' me. The rules go like this:
1-post these rules
2-each person tagged must post 8 random(... hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3-tags should write a blogpost of these facts
4- at the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5-go to their blog and leave a comment telling them they're tagged
Eight random facts. Okay ...

1) I'm six-foot-five.

2) When I was a kid I played Dungeons & Dragons with my brothers. Even then we were keenly aware of the nerd factor. Still, it made my mom ecstatic that it kept us all busy for a few hours at a time.

3) The first poem I ever wrote was published. Which ruined me. It's like getting your driver's license on your first day behind the wheel.

4) I once ran away from home. My mom packed me a lunch.

5) Rainy days are for museums and art galleries, full-stop.

6) I once tore a door off its hinges to get at a guy. It wasn't that hard, the frame was rotten, but I did have his attention.

7) I'm one of those people who spends a lot of time wandering through bookstores. At the same time, I am a horrifically slow reader, and hardly finish anything.

8) If I like you I'll want to give you things, especially paintings.

    Well I do apologise, I seem to be having a particularly scatty day today and will make sure to remember that you are six feet five in future...

    It's Sarah

    1) You are a giant. 2) Your D&D confession is strangely arousing. 3) I try to seduce people by giving away artwork too, but it has yet to work.

    Ive already been tagged. Dont you remember my January 24th blog entry? Of course you do.

    And Im too busy to play tag because you have me working like a dog over here. And I dont have 8 blog friends.

    This whole thing is giving me an anxiety attack (virtually).

    tagged?! OK I'll play. Only because it's you :o)

    It took me forever to think of 8 things!

    I don't have eight blog friends either so I sort of randomly picked 7 from a printmaking group. Maybe there will be some cross pollination.

    Nice effect ~ looks like writing on a mirror in a steamy bathroom.

    rainy days are the best.

    By the way...what was the first poem?

    Yeah, post the poem. I love the awkwardness of juvenilia. All of my juvenilia (including everything I did up to yesterday) stinks.

    Cool ! Thanks for playing.I wasn't sure if you would but, I was hoping.I sensed you had a bit of a temper, I can be a bit quick myself sometimes although, I try not to be cause, I know it's not the greatest quality to have...I think I'm generally very sweet really.Interesting you are tall, I also thought you might be, I'm not sure why I thought that.Love the image you posted along with it.Cheers.

glamour, by extension

C is friends with the fashion stylist Rebekah Roy (left in both pics above) ... one of those people who personify calm and smiling success. On her blog she presents glamour in this very sincere, straightforward way ... whether she's taking pictures of people on the street , talking about stain removers , her favourite videos , or attending some glittering party . One minute she's ruminating on hair extensions, and in the next she reveals how she's been featured on the Vogue UK site. A real disarmer and charmer (and this without meeting her yet, although I feel like I know her because we both did our time in Winnipeg). * * * * * Coming home from Russia, we did many bad things. ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. In my own life, the glamour is wholly imagined. * * * * * witches, smoke ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. My second go at this one, and for some reason I'm painting a lot of smoke lately (note to self: tell C that I want to be cremated). *

the indisputable weight of the ocean

People are always telling me that my work is too dark. So I've put up this sunnier story, but even it has a shadow, as its original publisher – a fine Atlantic Canadian literary magazine called the Gaspereau Review – is no longer in business. ---------------- It was a simple enough thing and that thing was simply this: Edmund Kelley was a gentleman. Of course his mom called him her 'little gentleman', as in 'Oh Edmund, you are my perfect little gentleman,' which did seem to hold to a certain logic that these type of things often follow, considering her affection for him and the fact that he was, after all, only ten years old. Still, Edmund himself was not particularly fond of the diminutive aspect of that title. Gentleman was enough; gentleman summed up the whole thing rather nicely, thank you. He was definitely a more refined version of your average child. He lived in a state of perpetual Sunday m

Oona Balloona (doesn't care about new tables)

Well, it's Friday, and since I'm pretty depleted in the chit-chat department, I might as well put up some pictures of Ol' Giggles At Ghosts before Grandma starts sending me hate mail. Man, what a goofball. At this rate it's going to be, like, eighteen years before she has gainful employment and moves out of the house. I mean, come on . * * * * * C is especially crazy and frantic today. About two months ago she decided that she no longer liked our dining room table (take that, dining room table! no more BFF for you!). Since then she's switched the dining room and kitchen table (and all the rest of the furniture in the house -- about thirty times, but that's another story) as a provisional solution while she scoured area stores for an upgrade. And she thought she had found one, on Wednesday, at JYSK ( Whatever , I said). But when she ordered it, JYSK called back to say that they were really low on stock, and that the stock they did have was damaged, and
