Ouch! Been tagged

Michael tagged me. I'm not sure who I'll be able to tag as I know virtually no one in the blogging world. Oh, my wit is stunning. Perhaps it is as sharp as a cudgel?

And now, the mandatory part of the game:
* Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Random Facts
1. I had to figure out if there were eight people I could list before I bothered with this part. As you can tell, almost half of them don't have blogs--and one is not even a person. What does this tell me about my online sociability?
2. I should be starting Jujitsu within the next month.
3. I do over 100 squats every morning.
4. I usually do 100 push-ups in the CTE before I go teach class. I prefer to do them when nobody else is around.
5. My budgie, Semirang, is molting right now. His energy level is extremely low.
6. I love eating cold brown or Basmati rice mixed with a little bit of mayonaise and cold cucumbers. Yum!
7. I have a collection of cheesy, tacky, and kitschy pigs on a shelf about 18 inches away from my head. I was born in the Chinese year of the pig, so there are a passle of swine here. There's a ballerina pig, a pig cut out of agate or some type of stone, and a pig lighter--gas goes in his ass, dual flames shoot out his snout--on that shelf. There are more than a dozen pigs there. Plus, my dad keeps on buying me books that he finds with pig themes--usually they are children's books. I don't buy any pig items. They are all gifted to me.
8. Between the age of 11 and 14 I read approximately 150 volumes of Mack Bolan: The Executioner and its spin-offs Able Team and Phoenix Force. This does not include how many times I reread a number of those books two or three times. You cannot possibly understand the kind of insight this offers into my psyche.


People I now tag:
1. Nels
2. Christina: get a blog, finally!
3. Greg: you get a blog, too! Or let me know where it is...
4. Shehun
5. Academhack
6. Pissed Off Prof
7. Meat Journal: Can the journal discuss itself outside of the personality of its editors?
8. Robbie: you definitely need to get a blog...
