8 Things of Absolutely No Consequence to Anybody But Me

Bora tagged me--and, as we all know, saying no to Bora means courting bad karma. So, we're gonna play a game. I will tell you 8 things about myself likely better left unsaid (see below) and then I will tag 8 other people and try to persuade them to do the same. Why? It's about sharing, people.

Superfluous Information About the Author:

1) I once worked as a Call Box Operator. That person who told you to remain calm and wait for the highway patrol coulda been me. No joke.
2) I will watch any iteration of Pride and Prejudice no matter how stupid. I love it that much.
3) Left to my own devices, I would salt everything. Seriously.
4) I have a tattoo. It means 'light,' just like my name. It's a reminder.
5) Sleeping is one of my favorite things.
6) If "professional reader" was a job, I would totally do it.
7) I sing show tunes almost constantly.
8) When I was seven I ran away from home and left my mother this note:

To Mom,
I am not coming home I hope you liked me when I was there. I have
two pets now and they are my freinds I have a freid at the shop I
like very mech and I have all your money I hope you don't miss me
at all but if you do thats all right to.

I'm convinced I will one day pay for this.

I tag:
Alvaro at Sharp Brains
Johan at The Phineas Gage Fan Club
MC at Neurophilosophy
Orac at Respectful Insolence
Lizzie at Madam Fathom
Jonah at The Frontal Cortex
Steve at Omni Brain
Sandeep at The Mousetrap

The Rules:

1. Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
2. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
3. Players should tag 8 other people and notify them they have been
tagged.

Yes . . . it is a glorified chain letter . . . but that doesn't mean it can't be good times!

...my ten word summary is as informative as a Science or Nature paper. Ouch. So Byte Size Biology tagged me with the "Blog of Substance" meme, originally developed by Bora. I usually don't participate in internet meme-ey things because I'm just too persnicketty to write about what other people…
Carl tagged me with a Book Meme and, since he is one of my most frequent commenters, I cannot say No. Although I have done four book memes before. This one is different and much harder as it asks for just one book in each answer, so I tried to do that, although each question really has many…
Over at his AOL gig, John Scalzi points to a list purporting to be the Top Ten All Time Pop Singalong Songs. Here's the list: 1) Baha Men - Who Let the Dogs Out 2) Beatles - Hey Jude 3) Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive 4) Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You 5) Tommy James and the Shondells - Mony…

Hmmm, was the omission of the location of the tattoo by design or just an error of omission?

I love this! Dammit why did you not tag meeeeeeee?!?!?!?!
