8 People Who Should Totally Do This Meme
1. Anyone who wants to! But beware - it's hard!
7 random or weird things
I was tagged by Lightening to do this one too.
Here are the meme rules:
Rules:
1- Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2- Share 7 random and or weird things about yourself.
3- Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
4- Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
So here goes with 7 things about ME:
1. I have vitiligo so I have blotchy white patches all over my body.
2. I am addicted to flavoured chips, particularly chicken & 'cheese & onion' - put them down in front of me and I will keep eating until they are gone!
3. I get obsessed with learning all I can about a particular topic - then once I've done it I move on to the next without doing anything about it!
4. I used to read the encyclopedia as a kid (see no 3 lol)
5. I used to own a copy of every book written by Jack Higgins (of "The Eagle Has Landed" fame) - including his pseudonyms.. I still own them but I'm sure he's written more by now!
6. I could live quite happily without a TV - but have a husband & child both addicted to it..
7. I had cravings for Hungry Jacks (like Burger King) when I was pregnant.
I'll tag:
Kin
Libby
Emma
Mrs P

Kez, I read Sole Survivor quite a few years ago now...could it be 10? I really enjoyed it. I loved the whole isolation v's loneliness theme.
Hey, Kez,
I got your tag; I'll have to do it later in the week after the drawing, okay? :)
My SIL has vitiligo too - only developed it recently. She was using some sort of special cleanser or lotion... I don't recall and I guess I don't know if it helped or not. Such an odd thing.
Very funny how you'll read (and read and read) and then never "do anything" with the info. Well, what ARE you to do? It's in your brain now and it's likely to come in handy at some point. Maybe you should go on Jeopardy. :)
oh...and I'm a honey baked ham kettle chip sort of girl...when I'm not on a panicky pre-Christmas diet of course.
I think it's lovely you've got 8 things to be passionate about. I was just thinking this morning about what really matters to me (preparation for new year's resolutions - I like to start early) and I'm not sure I could list eight. It strikes me as the sign of a very centred and engaged person (I hope this doesn't sound patronising)
Kris, to be honest that was one of the hardest sections to do, and I'm not sure that "passionate" is the right word to describe how I feel about many of them. Passionate seems to me to imply being an activist - I'm certainly not that, but they are things that are important to me.
