What? I’m IT? I didn’t even know I was in the game?!?! I was tagged by Pete, so here goes:
Rules for this 8 interesting things post:
- Each player must post these rules to begin the meme.
- Each player starts with eight random facts or habits about themselves.
- People who get tagged must 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.
- I absolutely love playing team sports. I played church slow-pitch softball last night (played shortstop) and while we lost I still had a great time. There’s nothing like playing as a part of a team!
- I’m a “movie-holic”. I’ve got friends that call me “a walking IMDB“. While I haven’t seen every movie, I have watched a lot of obscure stuff. I especially enjoy indy movies that Hollywood hasn’t put it’s money-grubbing hands on.
- My wife and I play a kind of twisted game. You see, I’m completely and passionately in love with her, but I still look at women as they walk by. When she catches me gawking she asks, “So what…. 7? 8?” And I’ll usually answer her honestly. (Of course, she’s the only 10 I know!)
- When driving on the interstate highway for any length of time, I silently play the “Alphabet Game”. It’s a game we played when the kids were small and we drove to a vacation spot. You have to get words from signs and other vehicles that begin with each letter of the alphabet. (Hey, it helps pass the time!)
- In high school, I was a geek much like I am now. When the film projector broke down it was always me that the teachers asked to fix it.
- I’ve rebuilt an engine. It was in a Ford Econoline van that we bought in an auction. It needed a ring job and a head gasket desperately, so I did it myself. While I did have to get more new parts, it ended up running like a top. All I had to go on was a Chilton manual and common sense.
- When I was in high school, I was in band. REALLY in band - marching band, concert band, jazz band, etc. I nearly made all-state band; I got a recall but didn’t quite make it. When I went to college it was a toss-up to be in band or go out for sports. Sports won.
- My dream vacation will take about 6 weeks and involves watching a baseball game at each of the major league ball parks in Major League Baseball. (Even the wife would like this!)
And now, for the eight people to tag:
- Busy Mom - I hope she isn’t too busy!
- Deltus - He’s been leaving comments…
- Murph - He needs something to write about.
- Jason - I helped him with the initial setup of his blog
- Aprille - A fellow Iowa blogger whose style I like
- Christine - Another great Iowa blogger
- Sara - Yeah, looks like I’m trying to keep it in-state
- Mikey - He took some time off this year
Oh man, I don’t have time to blog this tonight. Maybe tomorrow, k?
Duh, just emailed you about the tag, then actually read your blog and realised here’s your post! Double duh, even.
That dream vacation sounds pretty good, even to an Aussie! Thanks for playing…
