I'm usually not one to post a meme, but I've been tagged by two of my favorite blogging buddies, Jebbica and Beej, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm supposed to post seven facts about myself that aren't common knowledge and then give you seven other blogs to check out. So, here goes...1. Beej is the gay, blogging cousin of a rockstar with a new album out. I'm also the gay, blogging cousin of a rockstar whose band has a new album out. Can you guess which one? I'll give you a hint: he loves New York (in a fatherly way), but he's from the Midwest. We have a rocky relationship, but we were very close when we were younger. Another hint - he's six months older than I am and we have always been told that we look very much alike.
2. I have Asperger's Syndrome, which is a form of high-functioning autism. Because I've always had trouble identifying emotions, I learned to associate feelings with colors - mixed feelings make more sense to me when thought of as mixed colors.
3. I was a very messy eater growing up. I had the bad habit of rubbing all the food I ate at the back of my head before I put it in my mouth.
4. Somehow, I still hesitate to say or otherwise publicly release the names of people important to me in connection to the stories I tell about them if I am waiting on an outcome of some enterprise - whether business-oriented or personal - for fear of jinxing the whole deal.
5. I didn't learn how to snap until I was twelve.
6. I once kissed Jason Mraz backstage a concert (it was only a peck, but it was on the lips).
7. My great-great grandfather on my father's side was suspected to have been a member of the Jesse James gang.
Now, you should check-out:
1. Out With Me - Mitchel is an awesome nightlife photographer from Austin
2. BurntOrangeReport.com - An Austin website keeping Austin Weird
3. Best Gay Blogs - A great source of great gay and gay-oriented blogs
4. Gravy and Biscuits - A funny, Southern-fried take on Hollywood, run by my BBFF (blogging best friend forever), Jebbica
5. aeryn42 - She's on livejournal and you'll have to ask her to friend you if you want to see the really, really funny stuff, but it's totally worth it. I remember her from my days as weweregods
6. This is Illuminati - Okay, so Chris has been tagged by others, but I love his writing and his blog
7. Pink Sheep of the Family - Ditto for the circumstances above for this one, but I don't care. I can't go a day without my pink sheep fix.
P.S. - I'm including a picture from my youth as have others... You have to admit, I was a cute kid.

You got off way too easily with the embarrassing photo! I have to know who #1 is...the curiosity will kill me! Meow!
Aww, and you're my bbff too!
xoxo
Oh, I don't know - check-out the bowl cut my mom gave me!
Hmmm... Another hint for #1: He's in a bad named after a cartoon character that is fictional even in the fictitious cartoon series for which he was created.
=)
Love ya, gorgeous!
Hmm, I even snooped through your MySpace band friends for another inclination...I got nothin'! Even the fictitious cartoon characters that show up in cartoons (Joe Cool? Evil Monkey?) have names that I have never heard of in a band, anyway. :(
Okay, well, here are some more hints: the band's name has three syllables and my cousin isn't the lead singer, but he is the front man for the band and he also sings back up. People were worried that his recent marriage would break-up the band, but they just released another album.
Oh, so your cousin married a chick whose father tried to sue me! Small world! Question: did you get advances on baby pics? Maybe it's the eyeliner, but I'd say you're the much cuter one of the two!
So, I've seen the penis pics. Did that bring shame to the family, or just a good laugh?
Papa Joe tried to sue you? Wow, I'm sorry. He's a nutball, from what I've been told. He creeps me the fuck out!
I've seen the baby, yes, but I've been forbiden to post them in any public arena - my family knows of my blogging habit, as it were.
Awww... Thank you for the compliment, but you'd be surprised at how many people like me with a little guyliner. I've tried it a few times when going out to clubs and been constantly hit on all night. We are acctually, like, third cousins once removed (or something like that - no one has been able to explain to me how the cousin thing works) related through our mothers. We are so distantly related that people were shocked that we ended-up looking so much alike. It's also weird because my half is the Welsh/Irish side and his is the Czech/German side... Go figure.
I'm still in shock that he married a woman! haha Once, at a family reunion, my mom had to ask his mom to make him stop hugging and kissing on me. lol And 'I'm' the gay one!
So, yeah, I've seen the peener pics too... We're so distant that there's been no scuttlebutt on our side. Naked men are just not as scandalous as naked women, I guess. Doesn't seem quite fair, does it? All I thought was 'mine's bigger.' haha
That is too funny about the reunion! I never get hit on at reunions, and I live in the South! Here's the lawsuit letter (the lawyer even misspelled Ashlee's name on the envelope): http://gravyandbiscuits.com/ashlee-simpson/why-im-not-writing-about-the-ashlee-simpson-wedding/
That lawyer is a REAL dickhead. I mean, I used to get lawsuit letters like this all the time, but usually the lawyers are nice if you apologize. Not this asshole. :)
Awww, I am touched. Thanks for the shout out. And that picture in front of the faux library. PRICELESS! The wife and I joked about doing that for our engagement pics. Either library or moon bounce with the caption 'Chris and Libby's wedding is gonna be OUTTA THIS WORLD!!'
Nathan insists we're having a moon bounce at our reception!
