And the meme goes on ...

I've been tagged with the 8 facts meme. I don't know whether to thank Cathe or not. It's sort of like a chain letter, isn't it? But I remember falling forparticipating in the Friendship Bread one, years ago; for a while, every house in the area had a batch going. And it was fun.

So here goes.

The rules are as follows:

• We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
  
• 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 each a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

So, my 8 facts, randomly chosen, are:

1. I have a pen holder on my desk made of an animal horn of some kind, covered with inscribed aluminum. I have no idea why anybody would do this.
2. I was kicked by a deer when I was a pre-schooler.
3. Sometimes I temporarily manage to break my habit of biting my nails.
4. I have a vintage log-cabin design quilt, quite tattered, on my bed. I don't think it is particularly valuable, but I like it.
5. I have lived in three countries and in villages of less than a dozen people as well as in a city of over 10 million at the time. (Mexico, DF.) I loved both extremes.
   
6. I dream of hang-gliding, but I never will actually do it.
7. I am a night-owl and have always been, from baby-hood.
8. I re-read my favourite books, sometimes many times.

And that's the eight. Next step: tag eight more people. (Will this earn me eight enemies? I hope not.)

Here are 8 from my blogroll:

1. Celeste, from Dzonoqua's Whistle.
2. Hugh, from Lulu Island Blog.
3. Oaksong's Nemeton. Because he is a "once and future goatherd."
4. Carolyn from Roundtop Ruminations.
5. Bug Girl, from Bug Girl's Blog.
6. Cicero Sings, up in Williams Lake. I just discovered this one today.
7. A Mark on My Wall.
   
8. Jeenybeen on Ginkgo Leaves. Because I love his (her?) photography.

And that's it. Whew!

Back to my normal blogging. But not tonight.
