Belated “Open Tag Tuesday”

One must respond when tagged.  In reply to Ethan's tagging of his readership, here are three things that you may not know about me.

1. I have a terminal condition.  It's called life.  Anything that ends in death 100% of the time is considered terminal, n’est-ce pas?

2. I once spoke (or, in the case of Latin, could at least read and write) eight (8) languages fluently (French, English, Spanish, Italian, Russian, German, Latin and Arabic).  I used them all regularly until about 15 years ago; sadly they have remained unused since then.  As with all skills, lack of use over time diminishes and eventually all but eliminates unused abilities.  Now I'd probably be hard-pressed to remember how to say "hello" and "how are you?" and "what's your name?" in more than five languages.

3. I think kissing is one of the most sensual and exciting activities we can experience with another human being.  I'm not knocking sex, but there is just something about kissing that really sparks an inextinguishable flame.

OK, #1 could be considered cheating.  If not that, at least it's easily accused of being a cop-out.  In recognition of this failing I am happily admitting to #4.

4. I normally use about 2000 minutes every month on my cellular plan.  Sometimes I use less and have dropped as low as 800 minutes; sometimes I use more and have gone over 3000 minutes on more than one occasion.
