8 Random Things

8 Random Things about TeVGammaRay

I have been tagged by RandiePie

Here are the rules:

1) Only list 8 facts.
2) You must then list 8 TAGS at the end of the post. This means you must name 8 people on Buzznet who now must do the same blog.
3) Go comment on their profile and tell them to come read yours! Mark demand participation.

HERE GOES:


1.  I spent the first 10 years of my life in West Virginia.  I tell people I am from Virginia, which is true (as I was born in Virginia).  However we didn't  "live" in Virginia until I was 10. 

2.  I spent 11 years in college/university.

3.  When I was a kid, my sister and I used to try to ride our bike next to each other like Ponch and Jon Baker did on "CHIPS."

4.  I went to a high school that was named after a Confederate Civil War General.  Students were excused on the first day of hunting season if they had a hunting license. 

5.  On my first car I had an "oakley thermonuclear protection" widow sticker.

6.  When I was in high school I went cruising with my friends along the strip.  The strip in Harrionsburg consisted of driving between the hardees parking lot and route 33.  In Luray this consisted of driving between the 7-11 parking lot and the parking lot at "Bo's Belly Barn."  In my home town of New Market (which probably didn't have enough traffic to count as a strip) it consisted of driving from the "High's" parking lot to the 7-11 Parking lot.

7.  When I was a kid (under the age of 10) I used to help my dad bury people.  My part of the job was to jump into the grave, after the coffin had been lowered into the vault, and wiggle the straps out from under the coffin.

8.  When I was in college I drove home on several occasions because I was too drunk to walk home.  The logic in my college town was that if the police saw a college aged person walking down the street after midnight they would be harassed and possible arrested for being "drunk in public." However, my college town did not do traffic stops.  So, if you were sober enough to drive straight, you could make it home without being arrested.  Seems pretty stupid in retrospect.  

                                                                                                                                                            Lets see, I will tag:
 sunflowers14, exbirthdaygirl, ghostgirl, vianne, freakpowertix, savagehenrietta, rachelhduncan
