I’ve been tagged by Beth to participate in the Eight Random Things meme and while I’ve always ignored meme’s I’m going to participate just this once! The rules:

1. Let others know who tagged you.
2. Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
3. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
4. Players should tag 8 other people and notify them they have been tagged.

8 Random Things About Me

• I’m vegetarian, however I try and eat vegan while at home. I believe it’s far healthier, however I’m constantly considering going pescatarian when dining out to make life easier.
• I don’t read fiction. Ok, “don’t” is a strong word, I’ve read a handful of fiction books in my adult life and I only enjoyed one, 1984. Much prefer factual books.
• I once spoke languages, maybe not well, but given I lived around the world in my youth and have traveled a little in my time so far I’ve spoken; Arabic, Cantonese, Malay, Spanish, French, German, English, Mandarin. I remember none, but fully intent to learn some again.
• Without music I get depressed, usually within a week or two. It’s my drug of choice. Music on naff monitors drags the process out, I need my fix. It taught me the word Eargasm.
• Musical, most my friends will know I play guitar (RSI permitting) and once “sung” in a band learning on my own as I went. However, within the academic system (while about 6) I took grade 1 theory, violin, and piano. My teacher told me I shouldn’t carry on.
• I quit smoking by accident, twice. I chose to start again once, starting is a decision however quitting just seems to happen. I wake up one day and realize I’ve not smoked for a week. I never smoked much and currently don’t, I plan on keeping it that way.
• I own a nail kit. Most guys don’t, and it’s possibly the best birthday present I received many years ago. I took it to every gig I ever played.
• I have an anonymous Twitter account, for the topics of my life that most don’t care to share. You won’t find it, and if you follow me for web/business reasons it’d be inappropriate. I don’t give out the account details, try as you may.

Rule 4, tag 8 other people. So:

1. Relly AB
2. Paul Annett
3. Jenna Walker
4. Danny Hope
5. Rosie Sanger
6. Rebecca Cottrell
7. Jenifer Hanen
8. Stephanie King

… however, I’m not going to notify them as the rules stat. I don’t care about meme’s enough.
