Tagging

On Feb 7th, I was tagged by Shannon, who said: "I'll tag Clark (because I don't expect him to ever be tagged anywhere else [and I have even lower hopes for him actually doing this])". (I do appreciate her use of nested parentheses, though. She apparently didn't realize that I had previous been tagged by Alex on Nov. 10th of last year. I now choose to answer those tags, and to tag no one in return.

Alex first:
6 things about me.
1. I love statistics. Not the class you take in college, but the simple percentages and averages of just about everything.
2. I love sports, and will watch even the stupid ones. Ping pong, poker, pool, and even stuff that doesn't start w/ 'p'. I think it's that I'm hoping they'll put a stat on the screen. I was explaining to Shannon last night the seeding for our stake basketball tournament, and she was nice enough to let me say it all, though she really didn't care. But it was procedures, sports, and win/loss records all rolled into one. It's like heaven for me.
3. I hate earwigs and myriapods. I don't particularly love bugs in general, but something about earwigs and things with a myriad of legs (centipedes, millipedes) particularly gives me the willies.
4. I've got 27 teeth. Generally people have 32, but get their wisdom teeth pulled leaving them with 28. I had 1 other permanent tooth pulled, so my top jaw is asymmetrical. I still haven't forgiven the orthodontist for this.
5. I bite my fingernails, and I really don't see that it's a problem. Actually, more than biting, I trim my fingernails using my other fingernails to get the job done. Sometimes that leaves me with 9 short nails and one that I can't do anything with.
6. Even when cold, my feet sweat. There, isn't your life better now that you know that.

Now for the second tag, from Shannon, which she received via Alex:
