Eight Things, Count ‘Em Up
Tagged as: Jun 29I was tagged for a meme by Ms. Q over at qmusings.com/blog. Thanks for the tag! Although I’m sure that many of my readers will know a lot of this already, I’m sure that there are others who don’t. Besides, I’m always up for a new idea for a post!
- Each player must post these rules first.
- Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
- At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
- Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
Here are the eight!
- I played badminton in high school. It’s not your average backyard game.
- I have more in common with Michael Bolton than one would think. No, not that one, the one of Office Space fame. And he’d be angry that you thought of that one first.
- Before sitting on the toilet in a public restroom to do my business, I’m not satisfied with the toilet seat covers that they provide. So I put that one on first, then use about 10 squares of toilet paper to make sure that there is no butt-toilet seat contact happening.
- I tried to read A Tale Of Two Cities when I was in 4th grade. I gave up at about Chapter 3. I guess that I wasn’t as advanced as I thought!
- I enjoy thrift shopping so much that I would estimate that I have at least 20 articles of clothing purchased from said thrift stores.
- In high school I took a photography class where we got to shoot pictures using a film SLR and perform the entire process from shooting to developing to printing (and even mounting!)
- I’ve never been stung by a bee (or wasp or hornet or anything else that flies and has a stinger)
- As of this moment, I have over 22 GB of music. As well as the over 250 CD’s that I legally bought them on. (I obviously don’t like that Music Piracy Makes People Stupid)
Now I’m supposed to tag eight people. Okay so if they’d like:
- Tiffany at xanga.com/TuMbaLiNa3
- William at Writing is Fun and Productive
- Rory at hamelife
- Kiki at xanga.com/GoDsChiLd1427 (I never realized, that upper and lower case is so annoying to type out! And both you and Tiffany have it!)
Okay I totally ran out of ideas of who I wanted to tag. So if you’d like to be tagged, let me know and I can. 
It’s a quick and interesting post. It was actually pretty interesting to write as well since it made me think of interesting things about myself!
Thanks for playing and why didn’t you make #3 item #2? Would’ve been more appropriate!
And I thought *I* was fussy about public restrooms!
Lucky about never being stung by a bee or hornet - I never was until, oh, about age 37? And then I was stung ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD! Owwww! I was running along a trail and felt something on my head and went to brush it off - I thought it was a leaf or something. GUESS NOT. I had to head back home immediately as dang did that thing hurt.
I wish I could get into thrift store shopping but dislike shopping. However, a friend of mine will occasionally mail me clothing she has found in a thrift shop and dang if most of those things she sends fit, look nice and are quite different than anything I’d buy (in a good way). Helps to switch things around a bit.
Thank you for the tag, Derek. Ever since I first saw this meme I have been racking my brain for 8 things I know. I think I have about one - and I only discovered that the other day!
I like your eight - especially #4. That made me laugh out loud.
wow, derekson, i feel so special to be tagged by you!
i will definitely do this soon 
yay!
@Ms. Q
Haha I had not even thought to put #3 as #2. It definitely would have been more appropriate. Getting stung on the top of your head sounds mighty painful! It’s true that you kind of need to enjoy shopping to some extent to actually go thrift store shopping. Then again, it’s a whole different experience because it is full of laughs and fun even if you don’t find a thing.
@Rory
I look forward to reading yours whenever (or if) you write them. Even though reading that book in 4th grade was a definite failure, I’m sure glad that I tried. Now I have an amusing little fact for life.
@tiff
I’m curious to see what kinds of things you’re going to put! It’s pretty amusing to try to think of things that not everyone might necessarily know already.
haha. what can i say? we’re aZn. haha =D
