8 Random Things
I got hit with the Random Things meme a while ago by Vero, but have been putting it off since then, but I feel like writing something today, so here goes…
The Rules
- You have to post these rules before giving you the facts.
- Players state eight random facts/habits about themselves.
- At the end of the blog post, you tag eight people and list their names. (Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.)
- People who are tagged need to write about their eight things on their own blog and also post these rules.
My 8 Random Things
- I’m entirely unqualified for the job I do—I dropped out of university and worked as a barman for several years until I taught myself HTML (the rest is history)
- I played the violin from the age of seven, and was leading the city youth orchestra at 18, but I haven’t picked it up since
- I once crossed the US on a Greyhound bus—New York to San Francisco in three days, via Chicago, Omaha and Salt Lake City
- I’m addicted to American teen fiction, and used to re-read Judy Blume and similar angsty stuff regularly
- For a few years in my early teens I was heavily into role-playing and table-top gaming (Warhammer, for anyone in the know), and still occasionally leaf through White Dwarf for nostalgia’s sake
- I’m a born maven; once I find something I like, I can’t help but evangelise to anyone who will listen
- I love musicals, anything from seventies classics like Jesus Chris Superstar and Hair to West Side Story and Cats—in fact I’m a big fan of most of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s early output
- I have a photographic memory and near-perfect sense of direction, but for some reason I’m completely useless at remembering faces
Tagging…
...nobody. Everyone I would have tagged has either already done it or wouldn’t be interested. Meme killah.

High Elves, for a while, and then Empire. Kate used to work for GW, you should ask her about Skaven… ;)

haha awesome. I still got a load of high elves stacked somewhere. and some goblins. I never could find anyone to play with, so after that i branched into just painting figurines, until i discovered webdesign, which ate all my time :)
Will she kill me if i ask about Skaven?
