I had no idea you could play “IT!” via the blogosphere. Seems strange. Hahahahaha… BUT! This is a pretty cool idea, so… I am more than willing to participate. My friend Melanie Kidd (better known as Mela) over at Grid Expectations has tagged me to do the “Eight Random Facts” meme. This is kind of fun, so I think I will be tagging… Loki Popinjay, Nexeus Fatale, Crap Mariner, Zoe Connolly, Track Hax, Looker Lumet, Shoshana Epsilon, and Raul Crimson!
Here are the rules:
(1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
(2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
(3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
(4) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
Alrighty! Here are my eight random, useless, totally biased facts:
1. I have never worn braces in my life… yet I have perfectly straight teeth. And some pretty kissable lips to boot. *muah!*
2. I have a twin brother. He is sixteen minutes older than I am. I weighed 4lbs 8oz at birth, he weighed 3lbs 12oz… Poor kid. I starved him in the womb.
3. My newest favoritist song is Umbrella by Rihanna introduced to me by the best DJ in Second Life (seriously, the best DJ in Second Life) Nexeus Fatale. If you need a DJ for an event… he is honest to god the best DJ you’ll find. Remember his name. You’ll need it. ;)
4. Using Mela’s approach here, when I was a child, I could actually “control” my dreams. I would go to sleep at night saying, “I know I’m in this dream, I know I’m in this dream,” over and over and over again, until I fell asleep. And ultimately… I would “wake up” in the dream, and be able to control events and happenings. It was WICKED. I haven’t been able to do it for years, but then again I haven’t tried.
5. I built and designed my first website when I was eleven years old — thus beginning my future design career.
6. I was attacked by a dog, broke my left wrist, was diagnosed with tuberculosis, and had a nasty bout of the flu, all within three weeks of each other, at age nine. I’m amazed I survived.
7. I don’t like chocolate… usually. Once a month or so, I’ll get a craving for peanut M&Ms (yum). And if I’m going out to dinner (which I rarely do), I LOVE LOVE LOVE hot fudge brownie sundaes and bread pudding with rum sauce. But usually… if I’m going to eat junk food, I lean more towards Skittles, Starbursts, Pringles, and Doritos. Toss in a little French onion dip, and a bucket o’ Slim Jims and we got ourselves a PAR-TAY! *SUCH a redneck*
8. I want to have Larry the Cable Guy’s babies. YES! I DO! THERE! I said it. It’s true! I can’t deny it any longer! *hangs head in shame, all dramaticlish*
There you go! So… Raul, Crap, Nex, Zoe, Track, Looker, Shoshana, and Loki… you guys are up! *goes to tag*
that’s not 4 but 8 people you need to tag! you cheat!
I need to tag EIGHT PEOPLE??? Omg….. *looks for four more*
Shows you how much I read directions, eh? LOL!
*giggle* We both tagged Raul, does he have to make 16 facts now.
It is not fair…once I have found what my eight randoms would be, I will not be able to find eight people to tag anymore.;)) I guess Raul is out now?;)
Oh, thanks a lot Ryker… *grins* I bet there is about no one left that hasn’t been tagged by now is there? :-)
Eight people? Eight people? And they have to have blogs. Do they need to all be in SL? I’m not sure I know eight people. Well, my friends list is longer than that, but I don’t know if they have blogs! Omg omg omg.
Omg, you were able to indulge in some lucid dreaming! Some years ago I went through a bout of sleep paralysis that terrified me in the beginning when I didn’t understand what was going on. I’ve since discovered that people who’ve experienced recurring sleep paralysis are supposedly good candidates for lucid dreams, but so far it’s never happened for me.
@Nadine: Girl I HOPE so!!! LOL
@Looker, Yeah Raul is DEFINITELY out. Hahahahaha
@Loki: Probably not, dude, you better get going!!! LOL
@Shoshana: EIGHT PEOPLE!!! I know! I was freaking out too, but luckily not many of my friends had been tagged yet. I think I got hit early. LOL!
@Melanie: Yeah! It was all really awesome when I was a kid. The only thing that really sucked about it was that when I realized I was dreaming, the laws of physics and gravity kicked in, because my brain was like, “wait a second… you’re not supposed to be able to do this.” Like for example, I remember very vividly dreaming that I could fly at one point. Just jump off the ground and fly. But once I realized I was dreaming… I could no longer do that. Because every time I jumped up, I would hover for about 5 seconds…. then float back to the ground, because when I would start to fly, my mind would tell me, “You’re not supposed to do this,” and I wouldn’t be able to do it anymore. It was all really, really surreal and weird. LOL!
