I was not so recently tagged by GC. I am not a big fan of the “tag” thing since it reminds me of those “get to know each other” forwards that my friends spam my inbox with. As if knowing whether I prefer chocolate or vanilla is insight into my soul. Anyways. Here are seven random things about me…

1. I have an eleven year old brother. Yup. A mammoth 19 year gap between us. When I left to go to school in the states he was only one. When I would call him to ask him about school and such he was so confused as to who I was he would often ask me how MY mother was doing. Lord knows how may times I had to explain to him that we shared the same mother.
2. I am afraid of needles. Not deathly afraid now… just too afraid to watch the needle go in when I have to get a shot. I also get queasy when I see my own blood.
3. I have only been in three committed relationships over the span of ten years. That would explain my whole inexperience with dating.
4. I have an inch long scar along my right temple that I got playing soccer and getting head butted. I have also broken both legs, two fingers, numerous toes, and got bitten by a dog. To say I am injury prone would be an understatement.
5. I tried smoking once: a rolled up joint made from newspaper and filled with random leaves from my mothers garden. After almost coughing my organs out in the toilet I never, ever tried to smoke anything again. Not a cigarette. Not a cigar. Not weed.
6. I was confirmed in an Anglican church but am no longer an advocate of religion. Now don’t get me wrong… I have faith in God, the Creator and Jesus Christ our Saviour… I just believe my faith is of the personal variety: between me and Him.
7. I am supposed to wear glasses. I wore tested lens since the age of eight and then just decided that I wasn’t wearing them anymore. My eyes have actually improved since.

There. Seven completely random facts about me.
