8 Random Facts

Thanks Jordan for the tag. This is my first time participating in one of these tag games.

• Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
• Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
• Players should tag eight other people and notify them that they have been tagged.

1. I am a closet Disney geek. I collect all the animated features and some other special historical content on DVD.
2. I droppped out of regular high school in Grade 10. I’ve flip flopped several times between going back and staying out. I’m currently still on schedule to graduate on time, and am taking courses through online school.
3. I always have trouble completing or continuing projects that I start. Thankfully, I’ve still kept up this blog reasonably well, so that may be changing.
4. My parents have been separated since I was 8. I still hop between Cloverdale and Burnaby every week. Google Maps is your friend if you don’t know Greater Vancouver.
5. I listen to jazz and classical quite a bit. I just never put that info in my web profiles under “Music” because I’d feel like a nerd. More info can be found on my last.fm.
6. I am incredibly shy. I try to avoid phone calls as much as possible, and have a hard time approaching strangers. I dislike Skyping online friends for this same reason. So nag me until I do it – it’s good for me.
7. I am generally a nice person – everyone seems to get along with or like me. It’s karma baby. But watch out, because I can hold really bad grudges, especially when it’s to my benefit. I’ve had one for almost 8 years now with a person I see everyday. This means not recognizing their presence at all.
8. I am gay. If you didn’t know that already, it’s cause it has yet to come up. Which is the way I like it. Because, it’s only one small part of my personality. I’m not ashamed, it’s just not necessary to flaunt it. Except during Pride ;)
