I was tagged by so by Internet Law I must do this.

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person should post 8 facts about himself/herself.
3. Each tagged person should write a journal/blog about these facts.
4. At the end, tag some people.

1. I have an extra tooth. This has thrown off every dentist I've ever had, and every x-ray I've ever had has resulted in a crowd of dental technicians gathering around, exclaiming, "Holy shit, look at this!" Yay, mutations!

2. Gangster Machine Gun Kelly was my grandma's cousin, which means I've had a relative that served time in Alcatraz.

3. I've returned to school this spring to pursue a degree in graphic design. Previously, I worked as a software engineer for the past five years, but found the career as rewarding as having a baseball bat taken to my nutsack on a daily basis.

4. I have two sisters, two step-sisters, and a half-brother. My brother is 17 years younger than I am.

5. I started drinking coffee when I was six years old. I was at my dad's office and wanted something to drink, so he poured me a cup, heavily laden with sugar and milk. I've been hooked ever since, although I now drink it black. I'm also 6'1", so I guess the whole "stunt your growth" thing is a croc of crap.

6. I've wanted to be a cartoonist/animator ever since I saw The Secret of NIMH in 1982. Mrs. Brisby Porn makes me want to spit nails, but so does furry porn in general.

7. In second grade, I faked sick for two days so that I could beat Super Mario 2. From then on out, I made sure to always use up all of my sick days when I was still in public school, sick or no. Perfect attendance is for suckers.

8. I have a bad habit of buying books and then never reading them. I've also done this with video games: I bought Resident Evil 4 three years ago and have yet to open it.

For this, I tag , , and
If you do not do this, a plague of midgets will infest your pantry and spend all day making crappy Oreo knockoffs that taste like crap.

Because I'm currently suffering from massive art block - and am simultaneously a trend whore - I'm gonna throw my hat into the ring of this meme. (lol oldmeme)

Okay, this is weird.

Has anyone else noticed their Gallery View suddenly not showing all their entries? When I click on mine, only two show, and I noticed a few other galleries had pieces that were on their front page, but then missing from their gallery view. They're still there and you can still access them, they just seem to be missing from the full gallery view. Odd.

Just the growing pains of DA 5.0? Guess so.

ETA: Whoops! Scratch that - looks like its back. Guess the programmers were just making some tweaks.

What does this journal thingy do? OH NOES!!11
