I was born to be me

I was tagged by Human Being to write a six word memoir. Mine is the subject heading of this post.

Now I am to tag five more blogs for the meme:
Andreamuse
Lynn
Kim
Gary
Leaving the fifth blank for anyone who wants to do it.

What to do:
1.) Write a six-word memoir, post it on your blog (add an illustration if you like).
2.) Link to the person that tagged you in your post.
3.) Tag five more blogs with links.
4.) Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.

Webgrl strikes again

Because she knows I don't like memes, Webgrl tagged me again last week.

1. first, post these rules
2. post 8 random facts about yourself
3. write a blogspot about those facts
4. tag and name 8 more bloggers
5. tell them that they're tagged at their blog
*
8 random facts about myself:
(i) I am 5 ft 7.5 inches tall
(ii) Often when I first see people's hands and feet I find myself quickly counting to see if they have more than five digits.
(iii) I never got all of my wisdom teeth.
(iv) I rock my right foot from side to side to fall asleep.
(v) I love one-a-day Cod Liver oil capsules and sometimes need to restrain myself from eating more than one a day. I love slowly biting the capsule and feeling the oil squirting out, then chewing the rubbery capsule casing. I also love the coddy taste.
(vi) Taste is important, but I enjoy or feel for most food and drinks based more on their texture (rough, creamy, crunchy, etc.).
(vii) A long drive (minus traffic) is one of the most relaxing things for me (whether I am driving or being driven). When I was a baby my parents used to take me for drives to put me to sleep.
(viii) _______________________________.

Now I'm supposed to tag eight bloggers. Whoever wants to do it, do it.

I find memes are kind of pointless, but for whatever it's worth ...

1. Grab the book closest to you
By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept


2. Open to page 123, go down to the fourth sentence, post the text of the following three sentences on your blog
Every snap of the fire startled the woman and me, but the padre paid no attention to it; he was completely involved in his task - an instrument of the Virgin, as he had said. He was speaking a strange language and the words came forth at great speed. He was no longer moving his hands; they simply rested on the man's shoulders.


3. Name of the author
Paulo Coelho

4. Tag three people of your own
Whoever wants to do it.
