I dodged, I weaved, I ran and I swerved, but I just couldn't avoid being tagged by Geoff. Actually, the fact I wasn't tagged earlier makes me remember those times at school on the oval when I got picked last (or near last) for the teams. BTW, that isn't number 1 [:P].
So I'm tagged. Most of the blogging world has been tagged by now so you should know the deal. For five things you didn't know about me, here's the scoop:
- I’ve been married for 7 years after dating my wife for almost 5 years before that. We meet at a local church youth group when we were kids. I used to be completely scared of spiders, but one of the conditions of marriage was that it was my responsibility to do the kill’n. Now I am just mostly scared.
- I’m about to be a father for the first time. Kinda freaky that there is going to be a mini-me unleashed on the world! I would like to do Taekwondo with my kids. There are a couple of other fathers in my club that do this and I think it is great for the kids to learn confidence, respect and skills while also doing something with their dads.
- I was at the same school from year 4 to 12. My mother taught at the senior school so I couldn’t get away with sneezing without mum hearing about it in the teacher’s lunch room. Couldn’t wait to finish school.
- I like most styles of music, but prefer a song with a strong grunge guitar riff. The latest Evanescence album is awesome. The Butterfly Effect has been another recent purchase. As for other likes and dislikes, I don't like cricket (seems too boring to me), but I like watching the tennis. Can't wait for the Australian Open.
- I don’t like being forced or expected to do things (even if I actually wanted to do it anyway). I tend to dig in my heals. For example, I sailed a little boat for my summer sport at school. It was a lot of fun until the deputy-headmaster came to the club each Saturday morning to mark the roll. Another one was everyone expected me to go to the UK to be a rent-a-roo for my gap year just like my brother and sister. I didn’t go, but stayed in Canberra and worked instead.
Now, who should I target. I'm tagging Dave Lemphers, Sara Ford, Dr Nick and Bernard Oh. I'm also tagging The pants, Eddie de Bear and Paul McKee because they haven't blogged in a while. Am I allowed seven people? Is that greedy?
Update: I'm also tagging Karen Corby.
