It’s been nearly a month coming, so I hope my friend Sandie Law at Geeked Off will forgive me. At least it didn’t take me as long for this one as it did for Amy’s from yesterday!
OK, so here are the rules for this one:
- Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
- At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.
- Don’t forget to leave them a comment and tell them they’ve been tagged, and to read your blog.
Honestly, I’m hesitant to do this one. After all, I gave you 32 things yesterday, and you can also find another 7 “interesting things about me” linked from my About page. That’s way too many things. I considered a couple of cheesy options, including:
- Randomly picking 8 from the 39 existing things, making them truly 8 random things.
- Post a link to the 8 Most Common Internet Writing Mistakes and telling you that I’ve done every one of them.
I really didn’t want to cop out entirely, though. After all, Matt did 16 random things just to show us all up. I also thought about making it 8 relevant things, but it’s been done. I can’t even talk about my sister doing yoga, since I’m an only child.
So, what to do? Overload you with things? Not do the meme?
I think I found a solution. I’ve given you 8 random links in this post to enjoy.

Here’s where I’m going to break meme form. I’m of a mind that the best memes will reproduce themselves. I hate putting pressure on anyone to do a meme, and I fear the rejection of a meme being denied. Grab this one if you want, just let me know so I can follow along.
Or, If you’d prefer not to do the entire meme, you can tell me 1 random thing about you in the comments below!

HA! Excellent random solution when there are already plenty of facts out there! Looking forward to seeing what’s behind each curtain.
Random fact about me: I’m a late bloomer—didn’t learn to ride a bike until I was 12, didn’t have a driver’s license until I was 18…and only then because my parents said I couldn’t go to college unless I knew how. But I made up for lost time!
ps And thanks for the mention

Ha. I did this one last year.

Hey, now. I wasn’t trying to show anyone up, I just got hit twice by the same meme.
Okay, maybe I was a little.
I must say, I like how you handled this one though! (Thanks!)
LOL - Great way to get around it!

While it’s not original, it’s simply a brilliant way to fulfill a requirement.

Hopefully skeptics will see memes as a chance to share, in support of their personal branding, now that they’re seeing memes need not tag nor be strict in how rules are followed. In fact, the more creative the better & those willing to continue the fun typically don’t need to be tagged to do so.
The closest equivalent to this one I’ve done was “7 Weird or Random Facts” & I also didn’t tag yet got a few great responses.. If you are going to tag tho’, Michelle’s approach was a good one as I got a prize w/my tag! ^_^
