8 Things About Me! MEME
So I have been tagged by Chee Kui of Dirty Little Secrets to tell 8 random things about me! Dirty Little Secrets?? Chee, thanks for giving us some good secrets about you this time. As for me, I usually find it awfully hard to talk about personal stuff blatantly, especially making a post about it and even giving it that title, but I will try and hope you don’t get bored with it.
I have to be honest though, I started reading how others have been approaching this meme, how much of themselves people are revealing, and what are they holding back. As I was trying to find whoever first started this meme, I found some great blogs but two sites clearly stood out and I definitely will be reading those in future. One of them made me laugh out loud. and the other made me very sad! . While the junkys wife has a knack for telling funny stories, Chris’s writing is so gripping, you will end up spending a whole lot of time on his site.
Well, lets see if I can do this…. As with all memes, you have to follow certain rules and here are the ones for this one: 
The Rules:
1. Each player must post these rules first.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
So here are some things about me:
- My zodiac sun sign is Scorpio and Chinese sign is Tiger.
- I find that when driving, subconsciously I start memorizing license plates of the vehicles around me! [weird?:)]
- I used to play bagpipe in high school.
- I am not afraid of the heights and have bungee jumped and would still love to do that some day.
- I have a huge problem remembering people’s names especially if I haven’t met them in a long time. I once met a friend after a long time and called her Linda instead of Jane!!! duh and she didn’t even correct me! =)
- I love trance and dance music, but also love Scottish tunes!
- I am super emotional and end up crying easily and don’t really have a problem with it either :-)
- and finally I am an 80 year old guy!
Okay that last one is not really true!!
The last one is that I am really afraid of the dark.
All the people I know have been tagged with this meme I think so I am not tagging anyone further but if any of you have not done this and want to take a shot at it, please take it from here…

Re #5 – I know that feeling; I’ve had it happen to me a couple of times now where I’ll see someone, talk to them, and think the whole time…who are they. Then when we get done talking, I suddenly remember their name…

Hey Pearl !

Just kidding.
Bagpipes are an underrated instrument. Go figure ?
So good to know these facts about you Pearl.

hey Chee – yes it was a lot of fun …. you just have to forget about the consequences though :) letting go of control is something I love to practice and its all about that …. I don’t think I could do the roller coasters though …. they won’t kill you instantly… and I wouldn’t want to go through the torture =)
Sure Pearl. what do I need to do.
Hehe, now I know why you asked if I thought you wre 80 years old … cuz you are, and you’re also a male! Woooo, was that doggie doo you just threw at me? Haha! Kidding!!!
