I'm not even going to tell you how many times I've said I'll never do another meme. Well, I won't say it again - while I will continue to try to avoid them like the plague, there are a few people who I like to much that I just have to make an exception. As it turns out, Reggy over at FragileHeart is one of those people and she tagged me. In fact, I'm almost certain that the 'LAST MEME' I did previously was this same one. (okay, it was eight - it's getting tough to come up with new ones!) I was tempted to ignore it but after a few days I've decided just to plug away at it is the right thing to do - after all, she's a fellow Canuck AND a Facebook friend - we're practically family. So, here goes nothing ...
Here’s the rules:
1. List these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
7 Facts…
1. I won $1500.00 on my one and only trip to Vegas. on the first night, I threw away a two (which was wild) to get a NATURAL ROYAL FLUSH in video poker. After the three days, I had a free trip, a bottle of vodka, $30.00 US and a killer hangover. Good times.
2. I went by the surname 'Lucas' all through elementary school as it was my step-dad's last name. It has come in handy because when someone calls me by that name on the street - I know it has been a LONG time since I've seen them. As a tribute, 'Lucas' is my first son's middle name and my second son's first name. Clear as mud?
3. As of 2 hours ago - I now have 2 tattoos - the first name and birth dates of both of my sons on my left shoulder. This after saying I would never get a tattoo when all my friends were getting them years ago. Still, I will never be THIS CRAZY!
4. I used to breakdance. Mind you, this was more than a few weeks ago - think about when Michael Jackson was big - like, Thriller. Apart from the neighbourhood, my 'crew' also danced in the front window of a clothing store downtown - our payment being to keep the clothes we put on. I could do quite a few moves, the headspin not among them.
5. Although I no longer have time, I used to see a LOT of concerts - among my faves (no particular order): the Who, the Rolling Stones, Jack Johnson, RUSH, David Bowie, Ben Harper, Barenaked Ladies, Emm Gryner and the TRAGICALLY HIP.
6. I have only one dietary stipulation - I don't like to eat the same thing two meals in a row. A hamburger at lunch? No beef for dinner. Same with chicken, pasta, pizza, salad - anything. I'm not a picky eater by any means - I just figure life is to short and there are too many kinds of food to have the same thing. FOr this reason I rarely eat leftovers. I know, I know - diva.
7. I have an unreasonable need to have people like me. It's funny that many likely consider me a jerk, because I do actually aim to please. That being said, I also know you cannot please everyone all of the time - but I'm not going to tag specific people - just in case.
Now, I would like to tag: YOU (okay, so even though I played along I will only take volunteers).
CHEERS!
