Liz tagged me with this "8 random things about you" meme and so here you go:
1. I am missing four wisdom teeth and my appendix.
2. I have a strong aversion to fruit rollups because I was eating one when I was hit by a car in 1978.
3. I have sailed a boat and flown a plane.
4. I have been suspended from school; I was also valedictorian.
5. Not counting drive-throughs, I have spent time in every state except North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Minnesota, Kentucky, and Indiana.
6. Thanks to a genealogical quirk, I am my own fifth cousin.
7. Because of my common name, I have collected several nicknames: Miguelito, MEL, Kitch, and once at Atari Computer Camp, "Doc." I've never liked being called "Mikey," though.
8. There are 164 google hits for "Mike Everett-Lane" and 35 for "Michael Everett-Lane". "Ishbadiddle" outstrips them with 219. Yes, I couldn't think of an eight interesting thing about me.
Now, chain-letter like, I'm supposed to tag 8 other bloggers with this. Well, there are plenty of Ishposters whom we haven't seen for a while, so if this inspires any of you, go to it!

You are your own fifth cousin? Intriguing!! Is this anything like Bill Wyman being his son's son-in-law?

I'm not bringing it up to make fun -- I'm totally jealous!
Have we talked about this before? I had an Atari 400 from 1982–84, then we upgraded to an 800XL (64K memory, dude!) and, halfway through high school, a 520ST (the post-Tramiel Mac clone with a mouse). I still had the 520ST my first two years at Yale! I was an Atari computer diehard! Nnnnnhey! [/frink]
