25 things meme

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.

I'm not so into tagging; if you're interested doing this, consider it a tag!

1. As a nervous tic, I fingerspell ASL. Occasionally.
   
2. I was reading at a 3rd-grade level when I started kindergarten
   
3. I've been to the top of the Statue of Liberty four times.
   
4. I lived in an apartment over the Brooklyn/Queens Expressway until I was 5.
   
5. My parents both taught in NYC: mom taught law, dad taught history. They quit and became maple syrup farmers in upstate NY.
   
6. My parents claim that after we moved, I would stand by the road and wait for cars to drive past, and I would wave at them.
   
7. I designed a number of Dungeons and Dragons campaigns and bought all the AD&D books, but I have played exactly one actual game of D&D.
   
8. Briefly in high-school, I called myself a Christian, but stopped when I decided it was solely to satisfy Pascal's Wager

15. I was on the internet in 1991, and using BBSes before that. I used a shared Unix account at MIT and a free dialup account, when such things existed.
    
16. When I applied to go away to school, I sent queries to 'soc.bi' newsgroup to find out which schools had a good atmosphere for LGBT students. That was one of the reasons I went to Cornell over Rochester Institute of Technology, which I had bee favoring (yes really).
