My First Meme

This is my first meme. I've been tagged by Image Goddess who is my PT-buddy and who has been battling the summer-crud that has been going around.

Rules

1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog

Random Facts

• When I was in middle school, I wanted to be a physical therapist/athletic trainer because I was so into sports. Needless to say, I probably would have been able to save myself some grief and money in physical therapy had I done that career path!
• I am one of the first members of my middle school’s Sports Hall of Fame for participating in softball, swimming, and soccer. It is one of the rare things that I still display from my sports life.
• I started to write fan fiction for a television show named La Femme Nikita almost a decade ago and I still write fan fiction based off of that show today. In fact, I would almost say I have a fan base of readers who get nervous if I don’t post at least a chapter a day (if not more).
• I prefer to be around my father’s family rather than my mother’s side of the family. This all sounds nice, but is the most impractical thing for me. My mom’s family is all in the Pittsburgh area while my dad’s family specializes in spreading across the entire United States and moving around quite frequently.
• I used to color in coloring books while in my college sociology class in order to stop myself from falling asleep.
• I love to take photographs and I feel that even with the digital camera, nothing is as good as actual film and photographs. In fact, I really like to take black and white photographs as it is more difficult to do.
• I have published poetry – call it young teenager angst.
• I’m really good at putting the borders together on jigsaw puzzles, but often become too bored to do anything more with the puzzle.

Now, I'm supposed to tag 8 people but the problem is I don’t even read 8 blogs. I have two places that I go all the time and I have not branched out at this time. I know, it’s time to start reading! So, I’ve answered but regrettably, I cannot tag anyone else to continue this on. Any suggestions on fun blogs to read – I’m game for it!
