8 Random Things About Me

I've been tagged! For those of you who don't know, this means that I've been set a task by a fellow blogger. That blogger is Paz, and the task, as you can see above, is for me to disclose 8 random things about myself.

Now far as I can tell, from what I've seen in the past, I'm supposed to begin with a few mildly condescending remarks as to why I don't normally do this kind of thing. However, as this is the first time I've actually been tagged, that wouldn't count for much. And besides, I'm really quite chuffed.

So, here goes something.

  1. On average I watch less than an hour of TV a day.
  2. My favourite Japanese beverage (non-alcoholic) is called Pocari Sweat.
  3. One of my goals in life is to live till I'm 100.
  4. My first ever points in a game of basketball came from a fast-break layup . . .at the wrong end.
  5. I like country music. Allow me to explain. I don't have a lot of country music and I don't go out of my way to listen to it, but whenever I do hear it I usually find it quite agreeable. Of course it goes without saying that I love John Williamson's music. For those who don't know, he's an Aussie country music legend.
  6. I discovered, during my recent trip to China, that I love classic Chinese music. You know, the twangy stuff with the high pitch wailing. Very soothing.
  7. I have a mono brow. Well, I had a mono brow, that is, until a few years ago when my local hairdresser took matters into her own hands and performed minor surgery in order to give me a bi-brow.
  8. Speaking of hair, once, when I was in university, I had my torso waxed in an bid to impress a girl with whom I had organised a beach date. Now this was stupid for so many reasons, chief among which being that I have the whitest skin in the world. The upshot is that waxing, as has been well documented, is painful, and the results in my case bore an uncanny resemblance to a plucked and somewhat frozen chicken.

And now it's my turn tag some others:

Teddy

MS

Matt-man

Adam

Odat

My apologies if you've already taken part in this.
