Had to happen. Someone tagged me for the 25 random facts game. Much as I loathe these things, I'll be half a sport. I'll post them, but I don't have the heart to tag 25 other innocent bystanders. My life is so boring, but here goes. Oh, and thanks to Lee Lofland's precedent, one of these is NOT true. Guess which one. Maybe there will be a prize. So, it's 24 Facts and 1 lie about me.
