The 8 Things Meme

The wonderful Cenobyte has tagged me for this meme.

The rules are as follows:

• Each player creates a list of eight random personal facts/habits.
• At the end of your post, list eight people who you want to tag to also do this meme.
• People who are tagged will write their own list of eight personal facts/habits and, if they have a blog of their own, post these rules and their list.

Here goes with my eight things:

1. My tastes in music are eclectic: I can move easily between Tom Waits, Loretta Lynn, Bruce Springsteen, Enya, and Mozart.

2. I give my animals the names of people (although I’ve been tempted by the name Snap).

3. I love to read about food and cooking.

4. I like to go barefoot in all weathers.

5. I like having a flower garden, but I don’t enjoy gardening.

6. I only want foliage houseplants.

7. I always use pens with black ink—I don’t like blue ink.

8. I’m interested in geology and like to pick up small rocks that catch my eye (they sit on my computer table under my table lamp).

Here are the four people I’ve tagged:

A Sweet, Familiar Dissonance
Alone On a Boreal Stage
Cara Winsor Hehir
Head Tale
houndcats’ books and blather
Manageable Imaginations
Politics ‘N Poetry

    Thanks, Amy. That was fun!

  2. Brenda Schmidt says:

    I’ve been tagged! Thanks Amy.

  3. Lynn says:

    Sounds like fun. I’ll try to come up with something in the next day or two.

  4. cenobyte says:

    That’s eight people you’ve tagged…
    …(grin)

    And for the record, I had a friend in elementary school called “Snap”. Of course, it was a nickname, but still…

    And I probably shouldn’t mention it’s because there were some rather serious difficulties with zippers involved in his nickname…

  5. Lynn says:

    Okay, mine’s done.

    […] My whole life, if I can help it, I have chosen to be number 8. Curtis was 9. I was 8. This is just the way things were and still are today. Last week Amy tagged me to tell you 8 things about me that you don’t know. However, if I use 8 different things in one post that’s basically like wasting 7 good posts. Today, I will tell you one. This one is personal. Probably up there with the most personal things I have written about here. […]

    Berlynn–glad you liked it! I enjoyed reading your list.

    Brenda–have fun with it.

    Cenobyte–cough. I guess my math skills aren’t what they could be.

    Lynn–I liked your list! Thanks for doing it.
