8 Random Facts Meme

The veracious* Margaret has tagged me for this meme. As if I don't report enough useless nonsense around here...

:)


“For this meme, each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.”



* I just found, in our front closet, one of our carry-on bags from our last trip. As yet, unopened. Hmmm. Maybe I should just chuck the whole thing in the garbage and call it good.

*I love to chat on the phone. I can easily do an hour of yakking. (Right Matilda?) (watch out, Margaret.... I'll indoctrinate you yet!)

* In sixth grade, I won the spelling bee for three school districts. Misspelled words are a huge pet peeve of mine. People misspell my first and last names all. the. time. God has a sense of humor.

* I love to read. I must have a book going at all times. And I must be in the mood for that particular genre or it's no good.

* In a group setting, I am extremely shy. Extremely. I'm working on this. One-on-one? I'll chat your ear off.

* I've lived in (upstate) NY, California, Vancouver (Canada) and Texas. Three are beautiful places to live. Why am I still here? The people. Darn it though, these southerners are something else.

* Sports Fan and Little Dear are "Irish twins". They are exactly the same age for two weeks, much to Little Dear's delight, and Sports Fan's dismay.

* There is a huge box of hockey vhs tapes under our computer desk, waiting to be converted to DVD. DH's project. Along with the bathroom and many other tasks. Maybe I should move the tapes... eh?


And now for 8 people to tag:

Portia, Sephora, ALVY (hello?!?), Mrs. Bear, Teresa, Simcha, Michelle H, Suzanne D.

Have fun, folks!

:)

*as in, perpetually seeking truth. NOT "voracious" as in, craving or consuming large quantities of food. Just to be clear.

Thanks for the tag, but I already did this meme! Do I do it over again, only with different answers? I don't know if I can think of 8 more random facts. :)

Thank you for clarifying the meaning of veracious! I've spent the last day and a half thinking you meant "voracious" (and me an English major--for shame!) and wondering, "How? How am I voracious??" :)

I loved your first fact/habit, but regarding your second one: Who called whom at 11:00 p.m. the other night? Hmmm?
