Being tagged by the ever-so-lovely Terri, is an honor in itself. You should read hers first.
THE RULES:
1. Post these rules before you give you the facts.
2. List eight (8) random facts about yourself.
3. At the end of your post, choose (tag) eight people and list their names (linking to them).
4. Leave them a comment on their blog letting them know they’ve been tagged!
8 Random Facts About Me…again!
- I am a science geek and read more science non-fiction than I do any other genre. I am currently reading Einstein’s latest biography. My favorite book is Godel, Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid…DEFINITELY geek material!
- I am a news junkie and get breaking news alerts on my cell phone and both work and personal emails. If I am watching TV, it is 60% of the time news. 30% Science-y stuff like Mythbusters and 10% The Office!
- I am a closet animal rights activist but have never really formulated a philosophy that makes enough sense to act on. So, for now, I avoid eating them as much as is possible (luckily there are no buffaloes in buffalo wings! PHEW!).
- I love football (American) but only watch enough sports to have an intelligent conversation. Otherwise, sports bore me (unless the Red Sox make it to the World Series again!).
- I don’t play video games. My son has all the latest and greatest games, but I don’t play. I really have never been into video games. This is embarrassing to me. I think I will have a post where I invest in a PC game and share with you my experiences learning how to play. Any thoughts on what I should buy? FPS? RPG? Strategy games? Sports?
- I’m a lover, not a fighter.
- I am ridiculously ticklish.
- I have a pen fetish and have even spent $200 on a pen once. The ironic thing is that I don’t write long hand, if I can avoid it. Weird, huh?
Now I need to tag 8 people. I know most of you have already been through this tag, but the reality is that this is a very intriguing exercise. I enjoy knowing tidbits about people and I love seeing what facts people are willing to reveal. It is also interesting to note how many people share the same idiosyncrasies.
As always, feel free to ignore (but remember the last person who failed to perpetuate a tag? He was met with instant death by leprosy and the bends):

These bloggers all have something to say so make sure you visit them! Unfortunately, I do not visit them as often as I would like or I spend a lot of time lurking but not commenting.

Thanks for the tag! I’ll try to answer this as soon as possible. Maybe after my gym workout
