I got tagged by louys three days ago but only noticed today. I don't know many people on this site so I'll have to be fast. Starting...now
1. I like words that contain the letter x
2. I dont like words that contain the letter z
3. Ive never been arrested
4. I once had so many unpaid parking tickets I was threatened with arrest as a scofflaw
5. I hate to drive
6. I love my car
7. It took me eight years to make my first million and 12 hours to lose it
8. Im part-owner of a health club
9. My closest friends all own bars
10. Ive given up drugs except for various hallucinogenic plants
11. Last year I spent a month at a shamanic healing center in the Peruvian Amazon ingesting various hallucinogenic plants
12. Travelogues and political satire (see below) are the easiest things for me to write
13. Im too much of a solipsist to write fiction; it comes out as self-indulgent pseudo biography. Not that there's not a good market for that
14. I use I too much when I write
15. I think American civilization peaked with the moon landing and we are now in a state of slow but inevitable decline
16. I often make sweeping statements about history and the future of civilization
17. My two best Halloween costumes were a Jawa in 1977 and Captain Jack Sparrow in 2003
18. I look good in eyeliner
19. After two years of anonymous membership I recently started posting on SG
20. I think posting on SG might turn out to be an ego trap
I'm cheating and not counting the time it took for numbers and links. So tagging

EDIT: both GabriellaMarie and Lemuira had already been tagged but I'm going to consider that a technicality. Sort of like perjury or obstruction of justice. (And yes I realize I just linked to an Alec Baldwin piece but it's yet another indication of how sad the press is that he is the only one who has called out the naked hypocrisy of Sen. Hutchison.)

I'm still not sure if Braveheart is a favorite or a guilty pleasure. I'm also not sure of the difference.
It took me eight years to make my first million and 12 hours to lose it
Now that's a great pickup line
(I still play the stocks despite having taken a pounding)
