I know I haven’t been tagged, but sometimes, you just have to reach out for the things you want. I was told to jump on the bandwagon, and since both Mynxee and Shae Tiann both opened the door for this, I’ll just go ahead and post my own 7 Facts About Me!

Here are the rules (I’m just cuttin’ & pastin’ here):

• Link to the original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
• Share 7 facts about myself in the post – some random, some weird.
• Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

7 Facts About Me:

1. I was once in a popular Heavy Metal band named EyeInside, though I don’t really like to talk about my time in that band. They were good times, but the breakup was painful.
2. I’m Canadian, but I once dated a girl in New York for 2 years, though I didn’t live there.  6½ hours of road was too far for me.
3. My first language is French, but I learned english through watching Sesame Street, and I could read english at 3 years old — before French.
4. When I was 9, I was tested for my IQ. The results explained that I could skip 2 grades of elementary school, but my parents refused; they wanted me to learn with kids my age, without intimidation.
5. There was once this kid in my class who enjoyed waiting for me after school so he could beat me up with his friends; then one day I found out his house had burned down (quite literally to the ground) because he’d left an electric fryer on while waiting for me at his usual spot. Talk about karma.
6. I am a trained Sound Engineer, but curiously I’ve never worked in the music industry. Reason most given? I’m already trained. (Such a lame excuse…)
7. I’m may be 33 years old, but I still play with Lego bricks; in fact, I’m part of a LUG (Lego User Group) called Quelug, and I’m considered an AFOL (Adult Fan Of Lego). I’ll always be a kid at heart.

 

So there you have it. Now, I’m supposed to pass this along to 7 others – here’s 7 whose blogs I dig reading:

• Kill Ten Rats
• Morphisat’s Blog
• Votrian’s Eve Blog
• Winterblink
• EveNewb
• Bitter Old Noob
• CrazyKinux (yeah, I know, he started the whole tag game… but I wanted to give kudos to the MAIN MAN.)

 

I also wish to take this opportunity to wish you all Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a very safe and Happy Holidays! Drive safe, don’t drink yourself to death just cause you can, and please… for God’s sake… don’t eat any yellow snow.

See ya in 2009!
