(taken from others - just without the tagging.)
Once, you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things. At the end, you choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
1. I'm not sure if I've got the time to do this at 0622, but here goes.
2. I'm bigger on traditions than I thought I was. Currently, I am refusing to tick am/pm on any of my new work's forms, preferring instead to write times in 24hr notation (1700, and all that).
3. When I was a child, I won a major video-game playing award. I was defeated at the state championships by a 16 yr old (I was 9) who knew a h4x. I find that even today, I'm held back by much the same thing.
4. Sorry, but Wasabe just doesn't taste nice. Though it burns prettily in the back of my nose.
5. Today, I become a landowner! My grandfather is probably the most impressed by this feat. I know it's scaring the hell out of me.
6. The more I become a stereotypical bloke, the more I find I'm enjoying life. I'm now actively exploring whether this is simply good fortune or, having accepted one's self etc, genuinely brings happiness.
7. Music should be danceable. Or at least lurchable. If you can't move to it, you're struggling.
8. I'm going to buy a bass guitar from my brother, and learn to play it properly. I might even get into jazz jams with Emma.
9. My daughter is 10. This day, 10 years ago, I was the happiest I've ever been. Ever. I am so proud of her it kinda hurts a little bit.
10. I have no strength of will when confronted with sheperd's pie.
11. Secretly, I adore board games.
12. Steph is still in bed.
13. I am constantly bemused by people's ability to deceive themselves - including my own.
14. The right to judge things according to your own morality is the right of everyone. ACTING on said judgements is not.
15. There is a very big gap between having a lot of money and being wealthy.
16. GOK is the word. It's got groove, it's got feeling.
17. I've never quite got how, if the matrix was able to conjure anything you wanted to eat, why the entire crew didn't just log in, tube feed that egg mush crap while matrixing a filet mignon. Similarly, I'd love to know how Dozer got to be a massive train of a unit living off half a bowl of that shit.
18. If you believe the hype, everything is critically important to a modern relationship. Sex, money, fidelity, patience, communication, presents, marriage, children. I'm quite sure I don't agree with that.
19. I have an irrational fear of spiders. I also have a rational hatred of bogans.
20. I want a hat.
21. The only thing worse than failure, for me, is not having the guts to try.
22. Having guts has never been my problem.
23. Everyone should learn to play soccer.
24. I nearly drowned when I was a boy. My young brother, 7 I think, saw me from the shallow water and called on a couple of teenagers to rescue me. Sometimes I forget that I really owe him my life.
25. Today is a good day.
