8 Random Facts about Me Meme

It's all [livejournal.com profile] aceofkittens' fault.

Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with 8 facts about yourself. In the end you need to choose 8 people to be tagged and list their names.

8 more random facts about [livejournal.com profile] erikred:
1. I attended twelve schools on three continents before I graduated from college.
2. I used to sleep at parties.
3. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and have no idea where I am, even when I'm at home.
4. I have a sporadically eidetic memory, in that things from movies, music, and books get stuck in my head and won't leave.
5. I have only been in two fights, both at the age of ten, and both of which I lost.
6. My father, my brothers, and I do a splendid rendition of "Pico & Sepulveda."
7. I keep 1,000 yen in my wallet at all times, just in case.
8. I call people "boss," "big guy," "chief," and "brother" way too much.

I'm tagging four people for this on the basis of geographic dispersal, lack of information, and general dearth of posting: [livejournal.com profile] palecur, [livejournal.com profile] bookishfellow, [livejournal.com profile] omakase, and [livejournal.com profile] rimrunner.

I can't believe you actually call people "big guy". :)

It's a quick and easy way to disarm people and break the ice.

You know what, I think I met you at a Games night @ Brian & Jen's house.

1. I attended twelve schools on three continents before I graduated from college. You beat me! Only by a little, mind you, but usually I can trump people in that department. ;)

And why on earth would you sleep at parties?!

Ah, the wonders of a military upbringing....

And why on earth would you sleep at parties?!

To get my second wind, of course. I'd show up, party hard, then find a quiet corner, sleep for 30 minutes or so, and then keep going until 4 in the morning. It's all part of being an introvert at heart while being an extrovert on the outside.
