Last week I got tagged by Gnorb. I was going to write something clever about how I normally turn these things down because everyone does it and they're so passé... but to be honest I'm flattered to even be considered, and I haven't seen a meme in months - so here goes.
I have to tell you seven random peices of information (that you may not know) about myself.
- Despite all the violent video games I play and martial arts films I watch... I'm a pacifist.
- I read books. A lot of them. I love epic fantasy (Robin Hobb, George RR Martin etc) and get through 2 or 3 books a month
- Before becoming a web designer I studied 3d art at university with a view to becoming a video game artist... but nobody wanted me
- I am an Atheist
- I am a big kid. I'm approaching adulthood (getting close to 30) but still annoy my girlfriend by playing video games at inappropriate times and generally being a bit daft
- I hate going to night clubs and other similar "social" events. To me there is nothing worse than standing in a dark room with lots of sweaty drunk people whilst being deafened by crap music.
- I refuse to wear a suit to work. One summer when I was at university I got a job as a temp doing filing and data entry. I hated it and quit after a week. I haven't worn a suit to work since.
Apparently I am meant to pass this meme on to 7 others but I have no idea who to ask... hopefully one or two of these kind folks will step up for the challenge.
- Luke from Red Root
- Jake from Grey Alien Games - Jake also writes on Binary Joy occasionally
- Darren Hoyt - fellow Wordpress theme developer
- Adii - another Wordpress theme developer
- Adnan from Blogtrepreneur
- Ok - I'm all out. If anyone in the comments is interested then I will post the first two to respond here and you can be the others from my 7

You Know, it's funny: about half the people I tagged I didn't expect to actually take this up. Yet the people which I thought would didn't, and the people I thought wouldn't did. I'm not quite sure what to think about that, but I'm truly flattered you decided to run your own list in response to my populist request, irrespective of how passé it may ultimately be. And I'm totally with you on #6. I'll take a library or bookstore over that just about any day.
I can only aspire to one day have seven interesting things about me. (though it was cool to learn that besides #3, Ben and I have the other stuff in common).

Pass it to me
Go for it Long - don't know why I didn't think of you in the first place
Raji - awesome!
Darren - I'm sure you could write something if you tried.
Gnorb - I am to please
I'm curious, why don't your employers want you wearing suits / what are the alternatives?
