There’s a tag team of “eight random things about me” going on, and Camilo at Mercurial tagged me. These are the rules:
— Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
— People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their 8 things and post these rules.
— At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
— Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
With both my spirit as well as my flesh feeling pretty weak at this point, I’m not going to tag anyone. But if you’re reading this blog and would like to contribute eight random things about yourself, please leave a comment here or at Camilo’s.
Neverthess, here are eight random things about me:
1. I didn’t learn to drive a car until I was in college, and my driving teacher was my roommate, who was taking the course on how to teach driver ed.
2. my parents bought me my first car. And my second one too.
3. I bought my daughter her first car.
4. I used to have a recurring nightmare about parking my car and then never again finding it.
5. I am as untidy with the inside of my car as I am with my living space.
6. my car continues to go stone dead at variable intervals, and my brother installed some gadget that shuts the battery down with enough juice left to start up once I press a secret button. No mechanic has yet to figure out why it goes dead.
7. I think my next car will be a Rav4.
8. my car has always been both a conscious and unconscious symbol of my access to freedom.
I am getting in my car on Saturday and going to visit my daugher and family for two nights, even though my mom is not doing well at all. My battery needs recharging badly!
