From stoney321, the 10 things meme

[hellziggy]

10 things I have done that you probably haven't:

1. I represented Minnesota at the International Science Fair (and I may have been the only student attending that wasn't currently taking a science or math class).
2. I owned a comic book store.
3. I won a trip through a contest. Free airfare, hotel, the works.
4. I have gone head first off a 4 story building (on purpose).
5. I have had photos I took published in a book.
6. I have thrown a live hand grenade, and fired a LAW (Light Anti-Tank Weapon), which is the thing Rambo fired out of the helicopter.
7. I have been inside the Tiger Barn at the Minnesota Zoo.
8. I have gotten a ticket for going the wrong way down a one way.
9. I have gone shopping at the L.A. Coroner's Office
10. I have fallen asleep standing up. (and not fallen over)

I was going to also put in that I have petted a lion, but then I remembered that zerbie has also done this!
Damn, it's hard to think up 10 things...

I have #5 as well. Imagine my surprise looking through Michael Sheard's latest book and seeing a bunch of my pictures.

On another note, your mood icons are not loading at all. Page just hangs waiting for them. Did you put some new ones up?

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noticed the mood icon thing earlier. It's actually an issue with the server that I've got them on. My web photo gallery isn't working right now, and neither is genevra's, and I would bet that shrique and dragonsden and mhuot's aren't working either... We've all gone in together on a mega block of space.
I IM'd mhuot about it, but I'm guessing that even though AIM says he's available he's actually asleep, what with it being 1 am & all!

Did you know ahead of time that Michael Sheard was gonna use your pictures? That would be way more cool than doing a book through the photo class you're in!

[vorrant.livejournal.com]

No. I am not credited. He has a whole bunch of pictures from the con, not just mine. Ask to see Cheb and Chris' copy, I bet you might have a photo in there.

Hope your server gets fixed soon, that spinning gear gets annoying.

Plus, if I don't hit the stop loading button I can't reply.

Me too! You think it's annoying on your computer you should try & deal with it on one where all your posts rely on it!

Good point.

What do you think of the music you have downloaded from iTunes? You haven't said.

I really like My Girl Josephine!
The Pompeii one was really driving me nuts with it's familiarness. I couldn't figure out where it was from, so I googled it & found out it was the Spiderman trailer. I like it, but instrumentals are not my friend at work. I need fast music with words to keep my brain from wandering away...
The library has 3 compilation albums that Fairport Convention is on so I put in holds for those so I can check it out.

I figure I outta use all these free songs to expand my musical horizons since hellbob is continuously mocking my love of country music, Uncle Kracker, Kid Rock, the Gear Daddies, Bon Jovi, etc.

I was part of a #3, once, though I wasn't actually the winner.

The man I was dating at the time won a trip from an automatic entry by using a Visa card. Two anti-bourgeois on a trip to a golf tournament in Dallas, TX...

Mine was a trip to Hollywood.
If you're gonna spend a weekend in Hollywood, you should try to get Paramount Studios to pick up the tab! That trip was the first time I ever saw an ocean, and the pic for this Moose icon was shot there.
It was a answer these trivia questions & if you get them right you'll be put in a drawing kind of thing. You know, the contests that no one ever really wins. :)

I love L.A.

[mle292.livejournal.com]

Oooh - Sweet!

I've been there, but it was not at the expense of Paramount Studios.
At Paramount, I took the "backlot" tour, and saw several streets from Star Trek episodes.

Hollywood - and all of it's faboulos touristy stuff is definitely a fun city!

Mooooose!

You forgot to mention that you LIVED on that one way street. No sympathy from the cop there...

2. I owned a comic book store.

That is such a turn on... Say that agin, but REAALLLLLY slow.... ;)

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

hee hee
I...owned...a...comic...book...store...

(I also met my husband in a different comic book store.)

[mcbarnes1970.livejournal.com]

Oh man, that is just too cool... It's like a geek love story, with illustrations!

Well, I got pulled over for #8, but did not get a ticket. It was in FRONT of the St. Paul police station as well (grin).

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

As Genevra pointed out, it was on the street I lived on. I knew I'd be getting the ticket as soon as the cop asked what my local address was. He didn't say anything about the fact that I had a Minnesota Driver's License & North Dakota plates on the car though.
Luckily, at the time the ticket only ran $35 in Fargo. That's less than a frickin' Minneapolis parking ticket these days (er, um, I've heard...)
