Six Random Things Meme
Nov 19th, 2008 by Nola
I have been tagged by Wet Bank Guy. He likes meme’s about as much as any man. But he obliged and thus I will too.
First The Rules.
- Link to the person who tagged you.
- Post the rules on your blog.
- Write six random things about yourself.
- Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
- Let each person know they’ve been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
- Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
So, six random things you don’t already know about me. Hmm. Well, you know so much already.
- I was never a Brownie or a Girl Scout or cross-walk guard. I was in NO clubs throughout all of my school years. Except Guitar.
- When I signed up for Guitar, I assumed my big brother would let me take his nice Fender to school. I assumed very wrong. So my mom bought me a big, clunky, “country/western” looking guitar (yanno, with 2 f-holes instead of the standard round sound hole) with a soft case at a garage sale. I. Was. Mortified. And soon I gave up guitar. I still strum, Down, Down, Up. Up, Down, Up.
- My best friend in grammar school was on all the sports teams and in the Glee Club. I never went to any of her after-school events.
- The brother of my best friend from grammar school married my sister.
- Before my sister dated her now husband, he and I and his sister build a mad card house out of a UNO deck.
- I was a good student but not a superstar student. My all-time BEST course in high school was Chemistry. Yup. And in college, Logic (no duh), and in law school, Civil Procedure. In all three courses, I scored the highest grade possible (and in Logic, due to bonus questions, I scored even higher).
So, to keep this thing local, I am tagging fellow NOLA bloggers.
- Charlotte. She’s a minx and I want to know the good stuff about her.
- Pete. He swears he’ll never do a meme, but if all NOLA bloggers do it, I think I can shame him into this one.
- Pistolette. She’s a rockstar that has the nerve to live the way I ideally want to live.
- Ryan. To get his mind off the details of his upcoming nuptials.
- Sphinx Ink. Because she has been waaay too quiet lately.
- Mike. To maintain the male-female ratio and to see if he’ll play along (I hope you do)!
I think this will teach Wet Bank Guy to ask more about me again!

[...] 20, 2008 by Charlotte I’ve been tagged for for the Six Random Things Meme by NOLAnotes – who referred to me as a “minx” and Slate who tagged my other blog, TravelingMermaid. [...]
That’s a girl. You’re the first to answer. And always a good idea to keep those personal hygiene items out of blog posts, but then I’m in no position to be giving such advice. (I presume it was the Sidney Torres/Bald Wookie one that almost tipped you over).
Good for Charlotte as well. Excuse me while I go harass Adrastos, Jeffrey and some of the other people I tagged. I’ll let you take care of Pistolette, since you tagged her as well.
I got tagged by NOLA Cleophatra, myself. Eventually this thing will run its course, or it will keep rotating amongst us, at which time, I will consider terminating it once I have completed another 12 random things about myself – it will, by then, have added up to the numerical value of 18, or Chai: the Hebrew for “life”. Also considered to be a good luck number.
