Here's the rules:
1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
3. At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people.

1. I am wearing sandals and a pair of shorts today. This is the first time I have owned a pair of sandals since some point in early childhood. I usually wear dress shoes and chinos all year round. People say, "Pyat, it's hot out! Put on some sandals!" And I say unto them, "What am I? Moses?" But I guess if I'm going to California in the summer time, I should have a pair of sandals. I'll try not to wear black socks with them, or socks at all, but I don't promise anything.

2. I have earned more from writing RPG games than I have spent on them... but just barely. I've earned perhaps $3000 from RPG writing since 1999, and my collection represents an expenditure of about that much, though spread over 20 years. That's why I have a day job, and why I married a teacher!

3. Elizabeth has a Father's Day Present for me. She's hiding it in her room.

4. I need to swear off coffee and soda again. I've gained back 10 or so pounds of the 20 I lost, though all the walking and occasional working out has me in a generally more healthy place than I've been since... well... ever?

5. I wish I'd started going to fannish conventions earlier in life.

6. People seem to alternately assume that I am very, very, very dull, or aggressively strange in my private life. It just depends in what context you're meeting me, I guess, and what you consider strange and what you consider dull. I find a lot of people who wave their freak flags with an outrageous wardrobe actually turn out to be very banal.

7. I used to raise Zebra Finches.

8. In a few hours, I'm going to

neosis's wedding! Huzzah!

Tag yourself, you lazy bums!
