8 Facts

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!

1) I like the song “Istanbul” by They Might Be Giants so much it persuaded me to be a Social Studies Teacher, that is the real reason I’m a teacher. I will lie and tell you something inspiring when pressed on the issue but the honest answer is that I had a date in Constantinople and she was waiting in Istanbul

2) You have autumn, summer, spring and winter as seasons, I have stripes, plaids, argyle, and checked.

3) Muggles know when their seasons change by what I am wearing.

4) All of my God sons are named “Ben”

5) I was visiting Berlin when the wall started to come down, and it was actually Chaos Bean and I who caused this to happen – not David Hasselhoff

6) I do not watch television.

7) I think Condoleezza Rice is sexy

8) I love a good Helen Keller joke

I love your number 1. That's about the best reason to teach I've ever heard.

at least its the coolest reason "I love kids" always makes me want to rerun their background check

I read somewhere that "Istanbul, Not Constantinople" was actually a song from the 1950s, and TMBG just covered it. I hope this doesn't affect your career satisfaction.

Did you plan for all your godsons to be named ben? Did you turn down any Alfreds, Josephs, or Phillips?

I only turn your down if I don't like your parents. God parenting is a responsibility and if I take that on then I am condemned to your parent for life.

Constantinople is a notorious drunk and falls down all the time, it's very embarrasing and actually changed her name - rather than move - to avoid the reputation she had gained as a slut.

I didn't want to show my TRUE age and note that it was written for Irving Berlin, but thanks from taking me from hip 90's afficianado to grandpa Alex

Me too, I'm so annoyed that I moved to PHX
alexv: 08/08/2007 8:45 AM
You only moved to Phoenix 'cause it's mentioned in Harry Potter.
