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.

Officially I haven’t been tagged but I really wanted to play so here goes:

  1. My favourite super city is now confirmed as Paris. It is just one rocking city that has everything. New York comes a close second but has less history behind it.
  2. I was the first child in my family that was a) born in wedlock and b) planned. Take that my bastard sister and brother :)
  3. I used to think I was the king of racing BMX bikes when I used to win all these competitions. It’s now only as an adult that I realize that being in the ‘novice’ category meant I was a chump!
  4. When I was 13 mum gave me a book to help explain what might have been happening to my body. My interest went straight to the pages with pictures of girls bodies. After reading the book, Mum quizzed me about masturbation. I didn’t have a clue what she was talking about but continued to listen. She asked me what I thought about it. I looked at her face and decided she was after the ‘it’s not right’ answer and went with that. After our little talk, I opened the book and read the chapter on masturbation to find out what it was.
  5. I think that religion and belief in supernatural things is one of the worlds greatest evils.
  6. I broke down in tears one day in grade 4 when the teacher asked where my pencil was and I didn’t know.
  7. I started to learn piano in grade 11 but all I really got out of it after two years of paying for lessons was being able to play Piano Man by Billy Joel.
  8. I can think of three instances in my schooling where my dad, mum and sister all did one of my assignments for me when I was stressed out of my mind. All 3 assignments received A grades.

Ok time to tag 8 folks: Alex, Micah, Louisa, Laura, Cathy J., Melru, Jaimee and finally Mel (Screaming Flea).

  1. So after you worked out what masturbation was, did you go back to the pictures of girls’ bodies? ;-)
