Graham was busy last night with his son’s 4th birthday, but not too busy to tag me with this meme of 8 Random facts. [Image by aussiegall]

Cut’n paste the rules and then insert my facts. Graham used Dean’s (the person who tagged him) alteration to Rule 3. He didn’t leave a comment informing of the tag – if you’re the one of the unlucky 8, you can read it on his blog or in your feed aggregator. I also wonder if he deliberately made sure that he did not ping the web sites of the people (I think so) – if you were not aware you need to link to a post on a blog not to a blog to receive a ping.

I also like Dean’s alteration to Rule 3 – so I will not be leaving comments – but I will link directly to a tagged person’s post.

First, the Rules:

1. Post these rules before you give your facts
2. List 8 random facts about yourself
3. At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names, linking to them
4. Leave a comment on their blog, letting them know they’ve been tagged

My Random Facts

1. My nickname at work is Moody Waters – because I am very noisy, seem to always being whinging about something and my moods change through the day (from being very excited to complaining – all in the loudest voice possible)
2. The first car I drove, when I was still in school, was my mum’s really old Renault – the engine would stall if you removed your foot off the accelerator so to go around corners you had to keep your feet on both the accelerator and brake (apparently I almost killed a group of bike riders)
3. If things are not being blown up, shot at or destroyed – then it is not be a good movie – classics include Die Hard movies, Bad Boy Movies
4. I never want to watch another animated or cartoon Movie – and don’t get me started on Nemo
5. At the moment, the most TV I watch is Star Gate – we have Star Gate nights – if I miss it the kids drag me out of bed early in the morning on a Saturday to watch the replay
6. Just realised my husband, who is staying home because he is feeling sick, is actually really sick. To say he is not into the online world is an understatement – he has just been asking me how to search Facebook and MySpace.
7. I won’t write Christmas cards – what a pointless exercise – you send the same words, to the same people every year. My husband gets so upset about my attitude that he now spends hours writing them.
8. I really SUCK at all sport – but a few years ago we did play indoor beach volley and our team did win several competitions…don’t know how with me in the team.

Who I tag

I understand that not everyone likes meme’s but I like them because they give you a glimpse into the personality of the blogger – which you don’t always get from reading their blogs.

Please do not be offended if I do/don’t tag you. I tag Sean, Lee (I really love this post), Kathryn, Gabriela, Con, Vicki, Judy, Brian.
