Random 8
Catching up on meme-tags, here’s one I owe to Tish:
The Rules:
- Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
- Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
- Players should tag eight other people and notify them that they have been tagged.
Eight random facts about yours truly:
- I like food that’s so spicy that most people can’t eat it, and some folks can’t even stand to be nearby while it’s cooking.
- As a US Air Force brat born in West Germany, I nearly reached the East German border alone one day when my parents weren’t watching.
- I’ve lived in Germany, New York, Texas, Maryland, Virginia, Oklahoma, Florida, California, and Washington State in roughly that order. I’ve never lived in any one home for longer than eight years.
- I love to travel – by plane is OK, but driving is far better. Unfortunately, circumstances keep me at home most of the time.
- I fell madly in love with a girl when we were both in second grade. She rejected my advances (go figure), and I never fully got over it. I’ve been far too careful with my heart ever since, although I’ve rarely lacked someone to love throughout my adult life.
- When I was in the third grade, I was on a live local TV quiz show. As part of the introductions, the emcee asked me what was my favorite game. I replied, “Poker.”
- Music for me can be almost any genre, as long as the creator(s) put everything they have into it – no holding something back for later. Each piece of music should be written as if it were their last.
- I’d like to be able to say that I live each day as if it were my last, but that wouldn’t be true. I’m often sulky, keep things to myself, and ignore my loved ones. Sometimes I even sincerely wish for death. Then at other times when enjoying life to the point of feeling a buzz in my scalp, I wonder how it was possible that I could have ever been possessed of such weltschmerz. It makes me believe that my brain is a highly volatile chemical compound over which I have less control than I’d like.
Hmm. Seems like some of these could be developed into full-blown posts of their own.
Now for 8 random tags:
