7 Things About Me, Random and Weird (and mostly uninteresting)

1. During my senior year in high school, I fell asleep during my college-placement exams after staying up most of the night for the Homecoming Dance and after-party.  I managed to pull an academic scholarship, but I've always wondered how well I would have done, had I not missed answering a good chunk of the test.
2. In college, while I was studying historical voice performance practice, I won a talent contest singing the country song "Wind Beneath My Wings" (before Bette's version came out) and won enough money to pay for my trip to the Boston Early Music Festival.
3. I have three nipples.
4. A former partner and I had been together for over a year when we discovered during a conversation that we had both served as acolytes at the same church during the same time when we were kids.
5. I am a universal blood donor (O-Neg), that is, I would be if the Red Cross ever relaxed its discriminatory practice of barring gay men from giving blood. 
6. I won first place in a 4-H marksmanship competition when I was in 4th grade (with a BB gun).
7. The only time I have ever been deer hunting (when I was in my early teens), I waited until my dad, uncle and grandfather had gone off on their own, put down my rifle, and then crawled up in a tree to read a book all day until they returned.  I scrambled down when I heard them coming back, hid the book in my hunting vest and gave them the half-truth that I hadn't seen anything all day.

I don't tag, but do it if you wish.  It's kind of fun.
