8

Nadia tagged me and I have a virus and a fever and, let’s face it, I enjoy talking about myself.

• each player lists 8 facts about themselves
• the rules of the game appear before the facts do
• the player ends by tagging 8 people, which means listing their names and then going to their blogs to tell them that they’ve been tagged, then going back and commenting on their lists.

1. I taught myself to raise both eyebrows individually and roll my tongue, although it must be said I have a very short tongue, so i really just sort of make a U out of it.
2. I have seen everything containing Stephen Fry that is available on YouTube, often more than once.
3. I have fascinating hallucinations if I get a fever of 103 or higher. Really stellar stuff, good for literature later in life.
4. I read at about 2 to 2.5 minutes a page. I taught myself to read at that pace, since my original was about 3 minutes a page. I have to read every word, otherwise I don’t really enjoy my book. I can’t speed read for the life of me, and I think it’s bollocks to try because what fun is that? I likes the words.
5. Alan Davies, from QI, needs to marry me.
6. I don’t like calling myself a feminist because I don’t think of feminism as a religion, ideology or way of being. I think it’s a tool that you use when you need to. More generally, I’m not fond of labels and I don’t like to wave flags.
7. I have trouble uni-tasking. I get very antsy and need to do something else. But I’m quite a lazy person.
8. I wish I knew how to punch people out and I didn’t throw like a girl.

I’m going to tag people who don’t give a damn and won’t do it anyway because, heck, why not.

Joel, Uzair, Natalia, Mariam (who never looks at my blog anymore!), Urmila, Annabell, docsRock and Maheen.

Stumble it!
