I got memed some time ago by Al Hsu. Here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Just to mix it up, I'll add three lies about myself. The first person to get all three lies right gets a free copy of Deliver Us from Me-Ville.
Seven Facts and Three Lies
1. I'm left-handed.
2. I'm right-handed.
3. I once met music legend Little Richard.
4. I once met music legend Grace Slick.
5. I own every season of 24 currently available on DVD.
6. I own every season of the U.S. version of The Office currently available on DVD.
7. I own four saxophones.
8. I own two guitars.
9. I own one piano.
10. I drive a Hyundai.
I'll meme Heather, Dan, Daphne, Jenn, Tony, Becky and Kami.

I believe your lies are... well, never mind -- I already have a copy of Me-Ville.
I've always wanted to be ambidextrous. At an office job, I practiced writing with my left hand on memos and insurance forms. (I also memorized a lot of poetry at that job.)
lies:
you own two guitars
you once met little richard
you are right handed
Too bad so sad, Daphne!
you met Grace Slick
you own a piano
you are right handed
Sorry anonymous! No such luck! I'm inclined, however, to put a comp copy of the book in the mail to Anonymous to see what the Post Office would do with it.
Too fun to fib sometimes, isn't it?
i'll bite:
you own 4 saxophones (i think you only have 3).
you own two guitars
you've met grace slick.
fyi i think you're being a little generous w/ the ambidextrous thing -- i've never seen you write w/ you left, but mom always said you were so it must be true.
My own sister can't tell my lies from my trues!!! Oh, the humanity!
So I did numbers 1 and 2 of the meme. Haven't finished 3 or 4 yet. But I get extra points for doing it from Haiti, right? :-)
so, nobody won then????
i, like kami, have not finished the meme draft in my blog.
