hello! yoshi > Memes

Ok, you know me, I don’t normally like to do memes. But, I’ve been tagged by The Foo, and it’s an opportunity have a post. And it’s not too bad.

Rules

Each player lists 8 random facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

My 8 random facts (in no particular order):

1. I hate wet socks.
2. I love ramen
3. I have 2 laptops
4. I’ve moved around quite a bit.
5. I was in the Navy
6. My favourite music is Trance/Techno
7. I’m a diabetic
8. My cat’s name is Precious

Tagged

I don’t know 8 people to tag, so here’s an incomplete list. I’m sure I’ll piss someone off with this list. Bwahahaha!

A bit of explaining is called for here. After taking some shots and playing around with macro, I realized, that not only did dust show up in my pictures, they showed up very large. It was tough to miss. So I had to do some cleaning up. I enjoy doing macro, though I’m not sure why. I thought this one came out pretty clean. :)

When I first came to Washington State, I took Meesh here to Snoqualmie, and we stayed at the Salish Lodge for a night. The lodge was everything and more. The Snoqualmie falls seen here are a seriously breathtaking experience. There’s a way to hike down to the bottom, but we passed on that.

A while back, I needed a storage solution for our pantry. So I bought this over the door shelving unit. Yes folks, it’s empty, but after I installed it, it filled up pretty quick. But I was surprised at how much more space we now have in our makeshift pantry. (perhaps more on that at another time - Just another house woe)

While you would probably never take a drink from this fountain (or maybe you would), to those of great thirst, this would indeed be heaven. This fountain was taken during a trip to Chicago, when we went to go see Eddie Izzard.

Because I actually liked this one…

Appetizer : Name an actor or actress you think is totally underappreciated.

Bruce Campbell. seriously. Look at the man. Look at the talent. The book. The movies. The man is seriously underappreciated. But through all the movies and the book, I seriously think he was the best as Autolycus in the Hercules and Xena series. I mean seriously, he was the man! I loved him, the king of thieves? Hell yeah!

Soup : Impress us by using a big word in a sentence.

Can you spell supercalifragilisticexpealadocious? (because I obviously cannot)

Salad : What is something inanimate that you’ve given a name to (such as a pet rock)?

Matilda. Guess what I name Matilda, and i’ll give you a cookie. And if you can guess where the name came from, I’ll give you a BIG cookie. :) ( Don’t worry, you can find out the answer below. - For you RSS Readers, you’ll actually have to visit the site to see the answer! )

Main Course : What color would best represent your personality and why?

Purple. Because it’s all about purple. Just ask Prince. (or is he called the symbol guy or is he known as the artist formerly known as prince?) I’m so behind.

Dessert : Fill in the blanks: ____________ is so ____________.

That is so yesterday. I hear this all the time. I guess I must be out of the times or something because I always hear it in reference to me. Or did you say to yourself, “Purple is so yesterday” when you saw my Main Course? :P
