OK, let me first say that I am so happy that Shannon Malloy is alright.
Secondly, I apologize in advance. I work in medicine, so I have a sick sense of humor and what is “cool”.
But this is WAY COOL!
Ms. Malloy survived an “internal decapitation”. Her skull slipped off her neck without any damage to skin or spinal cord. She said while they were trying to repair things, her head slipped off her neck about 5 times, and she had no control over her head.
Wow. How can I work that into a story?

I guess turnabout is fair play. Last week I took it on myself to tag a few people, and now Becky has returned the favor with the topic is “8 Random Facts About Myself.”
The first rule of the game, however, is to post the rules of the game. Here they are:
- Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
- At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
- Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
So…
1. I hate tomatoes, but I’ll eat spaghetti sauce, salsa, etc.
2. I’ve snow skied in July. You’ll have to ask to find out more.
3. I’ve written fan fiction for a Star Wars Xbox role-playing game. How big of a geek does that make me?
4. Our cat is named Obi-Wan. Actually, my wife named him, not me. She asked our oldest what we should name the cat. Oldest (who was three) replied “big Star Wars toy”. I think her compromise worked (although he should’ve been named Darth Maul).
5. I did Youth With a Mission’s 9 month Bible program called the School of Biblical Studies. We read the Bible 5 times in those 9 months.
6. I’ve been on four different continents.
7. I saw The Little Mermaid in theatres about 6 times. Yikes!
8. I almost fell out of the back of a truck while in Thailand. There was no way that I should’ve been able to avoid falling, unless an angel caught me.
That’s all I can think of. Now the hard part – finding eight people to tag! (Sorry folks, I don’t intend on making this a habit.) How about Mir, Solshine7, William G. Jones, Chris Well, Matt (your public needs this!), Bob, the Cubicle Reverand, and we’ll see if we can get the esteemed John C. Wright to participate!

Whoa. It hit me a little while ago that this was the first anniversary of Spoiled for the Ordinary. I can’t believe that I started this little venture that long ago. It seems like so much has happened (because…it has!).
I didn’t have a great idea what to do with it when I started, but it seemed like something I was being led to do. A year later, I’m still not sure what I’m doing all the time, but this is post number 216, so I’ve done a lot of whatever it is!
Here’s my first post – whoooooo. Thanks for all who have stopped by! Stick around if you’d like, I’m not done yet.

It looks like Infuze is back with us. It has had quite the makeover, and is supposed to have some new and great features to encourage a community among the members. Robin Parrish, the owner of the site, warns of some bugs to still be worked out. I have noted this firsthand.
I haven’t had much time to play with it today. The look is taking a little to get used to it. I didn’t realize how I missed my pop culture updates through the day!
Go check out the new Infuze, and if you join you can be entered to win a new 30GB iPod. Whooo…
