it's all copacetic

Well, Mona (pixelbits, @Mona) asked…so here it is. I was tagged on Flickr a few weeks ago, so some of these come from that effort; would that be considered cheating?

1). I loathe eggplant; nasty stuff.

2). I am double-jointed (at the elbows).

3). I am a Leo (rawr!).

4). I collected comic books until I was about 20; I buy a couple every now and then.

5). In high school, my nickname was “the dancing fool”. Not for my dancing prowess, obviously.

6). I have never partaken of any illicit drugs or narcotics. Too many addicts in my family to know better.

7). Similar to No. 6, I did not take a drink of any alcoholic beverage until I turned 21. Too many alcoholics in my family taught me to keep that in check.

8). I have slept with only one woman in my life and that same woman is still with me. Yeah, I know…what the hell is she thinking?!

9). I nearly failed my first year of college.

10). I am much too harsh on my kids; I need to lighten up and accept that they will not behave or be perfect all the time.

11). I am scared of heights (acrophobia).

12). I wear a size 11 shoe.

13). I have not spoken to my mom in some time and I have no plans to rectify that anytime soon.

14). I can lose my cool pretty quick. You can tell when I have by the number of F-bombs I start to drop.

15). As much as I try to be the hopeful one, I am at heart a pessimist. :/

16). I am allergic to penicillin.

17). I am not a fan of roller-coasters or rapidly spinning rides. Can you say, “le barf”?

18). Before the age of 14, I had lived in four states (Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Florida).

19). Without a dedicated social media outlet, I have been blogged; not that I would consider that a good thing. Oh, and it was not entirely my fault. ;)

20). I cannot speak Spanish fluently; despite being Mexican-American. However, my accent is muy, muy bien. :)

21). I am near-sighted.

22). My hands and feet are forever cold; the wife just LOVES that when it is time to cuddle in bed.

23). Apple juice and I do not agree.

24). I played the clarinet for three years; was not good, but I loved it.

25). I use JA in my email sig and whenever I cannot use “castillo” when I sign-up for a new service; the A is for my middle initial, Anthony.

Thank you.
