Well, isn’t this all cool and professional? Didn’t know I’d been tagged until I hovered over ‘Kylie’ (Anthony’s pet name for me) and found it linked here. So, with only a fuzzy idea of the rules, here we go…
1. Link to the person that tagged you - the blueblog - CHECK

2. Post the rules on your blog - CHECK

3a.Write your own six word memoir

Meandering path forged from sheer stubbornness.

3b. Write six random things about you in a blog post

(i) My first car was a mini a few weeks older than me called Hubert. It was white with a green roof and one green stripe up the bonnet. The windscreen had a white band two inches thick around the border that I thought was a design thing from a respray but was actually a very bad case of de-lamination and it was going to shatter any day. Hubert also cut out in the rain, had to be put into second gear on the motorway when the engine died and bits fell off, including the heater which trapped my foot on the clutch. Hubert has now gone to a nice man who restores Minis and has been blinged out with chrome, a red paint job and is covered in Taz pictures.

(ii) I still thought 7 Up was called ZUp until a few years ago. This was corrected with much mocking.

(iii) I used to listen to films instead of music whilst doing work, and wore out somewhere near 50 VHS tapes over several years. I can still quote Con Air, Armageddon, The First Wives Club and The Muppet’s Christmas Carol nearly word-perfectly.

(iv) Nancy Drew, my second published story, was written and redrafted entirely whilst at least tipsy on Jack Daniels. The goats in the desert were as much a surprise to me as anyone else.

(v) I only play Nintendo games with Mario in them, but if there’s an option to play Yoshi, I’ll be on that dinosaur like herpes on an old hooker.

(vi) I tried to be an artist before this writing gig. Found out that it really wasn’t for me halfway through an Art Foundation course when I was shockingly bad compared to the other students. Now, the only painting I do is once-a-year commissions for friend’s birthdays. This year, it’s a painting of River Tam firing a bow and arrow with her feet with the Serenity logo in the background.

4. Tag six people in your post.
Everyone already has been. Foiled. Oh well.
