As some of you no doubt have realized by now, I love a good laugh, even when it's at my own expense. To wit, the answers to this online quiz, posted at some point in mid-2008. Since I didn't join Facebook until May of 2009, that means this is probably from (gasp!) MySpace. If for no other reason, that makes this kind of special. Enjoy!

Let's have a little fun.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Yes. I was supposed to be the fifth William in a row, but as Dad was off in Lebanon playing Boy Marine, she named me for *her* father instead. To this day, she's the only person on the planet who refers to me by the name she hung on me. She'll get what's coming to her, you just wait and see! ;-)
