What do you really know about me?-stolen from ratckrycek

This could be interesting.

Post this in your journal, asking your friends list (or whatever stranger that happens to wander by) to respond with whatever they know about you. It can be as matter of fact as "Your name is not actually marathoner452," or as random as "You are left-handed."

A week later, write an "about me" post to fill in the gaps in your friends' knowledge.

Have at it.

PS-As a side note, I'm still wondering what "meme" stands for.  It just seems like one of those things I should know but don't.

I'm being all computer geeky and stuff right now, so I'll answer the meme later.

But briefly, a meme is a term coined by Richard Dawkins for apiece of data transmitted from human to human, 'replicated' if you will, sorta like genes that are passed along... it's more involved than that - here's the WikiPedia entry. These things might not be memes as Dawkins intended the word to be used, but it's sort of the LJ use of the term.

And, oh, hell, okay. You live in MD. You sail on your father's boat. You're an AmeriCorps VISTA working with the Red Cross, or were. You have been to New Orleans 3 times in your life; once as a toddler, once as a Red Cross deployment, and once with Hands On/AmeriCorps. You enjoy Hurricanes at Pat O'Brien's. You rock Tyvek well, and take blue gatorade powder on guts with you. Not sure if you have any pets. You want to go back to NOLA as soon as reasonable, and help out. You run marathons and really enjoy it, but sometimes you feel selfish for not giving ALL of your time to others. You know what it feels like to wear the Katrina look. You give your time to sailing special olympics. You're on a DAT team. You give (or gave) disaster education presentations, and really enjoyed the grade school kids.

:D

Okay, back to trying to figure this darn thing out!

I could go through with a really long biography of who you are, but instead, let's go with random:
*you do 'shrooms that you grow under your bed
*you love NYC
*you dressed as an NYC tourist one year for halloween and we went trick or treating through Lexington Park
*you refused to disclose the date of your bday b/c you were scared of being tossed in the pond whlie in school (despite the summer bday).
*you went out on the almost submerged dock during hurricane isabel, but refused to walk out to church point (something about four to five feet of water out there).
(finally, since i have to leave soon)
*you are insane :-P

You want to change the world and make a mark.

and you run a lot. *g*

You think that only running 20 miles a week is out of shape. Pure crazyness. And you apparently like talking about disasters. And you seem friendly.
