Due to how out of shape I am, Gnorb easily caught and tagged me to share 7 random facts about myself. Strangely, I sensed some déjà vu—due to the fact that I had already completed a similar meme last year. Always one to enjoy talking about myself, I am complying and listing 7 new facts that reflect how much I have changed since then.
- I have never been to an amusement park in my life. My family is not the type which goes to touristy places, and I never had the desire to go. I’ve gone to 1 or 2 county fairs, but certainly no Disneyland, Legoland or Six Flags. I think I dodged a bullet on that one, simply because I almost never enjoy something which is supposed to be
fun.
(Hence why I am writing this blog instead of being outside.) - I am a Mac (user). I love my MacBook Pro, and would never switch back to Doors.
- I enjoy watching crappy romantic comedies. Actually, I enjoy watching any form of comedy—no matter the quality.
- I have Pantophobia. That is, I am afraid of everything. You name it, and 9 times out of 10 I am afraid of it. I’m not cripplingly afraid of everything, I just mildly cringe whenever I encounter most things I fear slightly.
- I am an Independent. Usually, I support Democrats, but when a strong Republican candidate comes along I will support him. I supported both Ron Paul and Barack Obama.
- I hardly ever read books. I used to read a lot, but I almost never have time anymore. This is something I want to fix, but in the meantime I read classics via DailyLit.
- I am an active contributor to the Habari Project. This is the first time I have extensively worked on an open source project, and I am really excited about the directions we are headed in.
Hopefully, this didn’t bore you too much. It was tough to think of new, interesting facts that I hadn’t already mentioned. Following the spirit of the meme, here are 7 people I would like to tag (if I can catch them):
Once again, thanks to Gnorb for tagging me. I look forward to reading the responses of the people who I tagged, all of whom are much more interesting than me.
For inquisitive minds, the PHP script I used for the title of this post would print 7 random numbers.
First of all, congratulations on wining the coolest title contest. The contest doesn’t actually exist, and there’s no prize, but if did exist, then there’d you go.
I’m totally, 100% with you on #2. For years I wanted a Mac. Now that I have one I wonder what took me so long to pony up the cash. Worth just about every penny. (I say just about because the $80 price tag on the power adapters is a bit steep.)
@Gnorb: Thanks for the accolades, even for a non-existent award.
