In light of the infectious rash of posts with 7 things about yourself that has been clogging my Google Reader feed from Smaller Indiana I have decided to give you all 7 reasons why conformity is bad.
1) Unimaginative. Simply doing a blog post that has been done by everybody else on this site in an effort to discuss yourself is a little bit self serving and ridiculous. The rules of the site prevent you from actually touting your own work here, so I see this meme as an attempt to do just that thr…

1. I have the most wonderful, caring, and loving wife in the world. Who is actually funnier that I am.

3. I don't pick up after my dog at night b/c I like to think that people can't see us b/c it's dark out.
4. I would love to have the money to give to all non-profits in the world instead I volunteer my time alot to them.
5. I am better at Selling ComedySportz than actually playing ComedySportz.
6. I…

1. I'm a homebody.
2. When I go to the movies I
must sit as near to the geographic center of the theater as possible and I have to watch the credits because, God bless the personal assistant to the dog trainer's barrista. You
shall be mentioned and I
shall read your name!
3. I once re-united the author James Michener with an old college girlfriend after 47 years apart. (it's a great story, I should do a blog post about it sometime.)
4. I've read
about* 5 books a we…

Neil Taflinger tagged me to do this, so here you go...
1. My parents named me after a Tom T. Hall song -
The Year That Clayton Delaney Died
2. When I was 4, my favorite t-shirt had cool, colored race cars on it and said 'Motor Mouth' - I had never paid any attention to what it said and when my Grandmother told me I got so embarrassed and mad that I never wore it again!
3. I took my first job out of college washing dishes…

I got tagged by Nicki Laycoax. You can read her 7 things
here. At first, I thought this was silly; however after reading other lists I think it is a cool idea.
1) I lived in Florida for 10 years prior to my relocation to Indy in July. However, I am originally from Racine, WI.
2) I served 4 years in the United States Air Force. Great stepping stone and I met lots of interesting people.
3) I really enjoy food. Curren…

Thanks to
Neal Taflinger for tagging me so I can do my 7 things. Like a chain letter, only fun!
1. My real name is Fredric due to an arcane parental compromise. They decided to call me Rick at birth. I blame this decision for my inability to focus on one single thing.
2. When I was a young child I wanted to be a farmer when I grew up. That later changed to major league baseball player. Neither happened. However, my two goal…

I wasn't able to attend the 4k member celebration because of Girl Scout duties, but I've been fortunate enough to have been tagged by Brian Huff in this 7 Thing chain...
1. I am a mother of three. Two of my children are fraternal twins.
2. I chose to pursue an entrepreneurial venture rather than staying in my Government job. It's the best thing I could have done for self-development. I've learned more in the last two years than I have the 28 years prior.
3. I sign up for everything.... Well,…

As I was reading about our fellow Smoosiers, I realized I had been tagged by Rae and Doug. I hope that doesn’t mean I need to submit 14 things! Without further ado, I submit 7 little known nuggets of info that you probably didn’t know about me.
1) I was born in Seoul South Korea and given up to an orphanage where I was the cutest baby in the joint. On December 8th, 1977, I was flown from Korea to Chicago where my adoptive parents were waiting to pick me up from the airport.
2) I can speak more…

I was tagged by Rae, so here it goes......
1. I hate not having a full-time job. I feel completely worthless and it really bugs me. I mean, I'm teaching and I'm working on my graphic design stuff, but that's always been for "fun" and not for "work" - kwim?
2. I am passionate about animals. I was once studying to become a vet and right before I was to go to vet school at Purdue, I dropped out because I didn't want to be stressed out the rest of my life. I have a very low tolerance for stupid pe…

In the spirit of an insidious chain letter, I got tagged by Rae Kridel, who requested I contribute to this 7 Things continuum. So here are seven things about me, Doug Theis:
1. I’m a tail end baby boomer – born to the son of a poor Minneapolis immigrant family and the daughter of a successful northwest Florida farmer. My parents met during World War II. I have one sister who's 13 years older than I am. That's old.
2. I’m an Indiana state high school soccer champ – I played for Heritage Christi…

Ok, so I got tagged by Erik Deckers, who probably only included me because we had coffee today and he didn't want to hurt my feelings. But he's The Man and he's not to be dissuaded so here I go:
1. I was born in Manteo, NC, a little town on the coast. My dad was in the Navy, stationed at Cape Hatteras, and when my mom went into labor, they couldn't find the base doctor so they had to take the FERRY to the mainland and went to the first clinic they could find. There's a famous black and white st…
