I got tagged by Ben at Social Media Marketing. That means I get to tell you five things about me you may not know, and tag five other blogging delinquents to do the same.

It’s viral, but interesting. How else would I know that Ben Wills used to DJ at raves?

Since it’s a deadline day, I’ll get right to it:

1. An award-winning photojournalist in college, I left school for a copywriter’s job - which I got largely by accident. A friend sent “colorful” Hawaiin shirts to an assistant Creative Director buddy at an agency. I wrote faux ads to accompany them. Viola!
2. I live at the base of Mount Shasta - a 14,162′ inactive volcano - and fly fish several times a week (I also write a fly fishing blog)
3. I write on a 12 year-old IBM keyboard that’s outlasted four PCs. It’s tough as nails, but I know I’ll have to replace it someday.
4. I hate pesto. Just can’t stomach the stuff. I tried hard to like it, but couldn’t. The secret’s out.
5. I am not related to Raymond Chandler (though many people say I look just like Brad Pitt).

There it is. Exposed. I feel as if a great weight has been lifted.

Who’s next on the list? Megan at posts from the edge; Walter at Inklings; Kiwiwriter at My Year of Getting Published; Tom at Busy Being Born; and Alistair from Urban Fly Fishing on the Kelvin.
