Anywho, brings me to me being tagged again in the blogosphere, this time by my friend Bobby of Revellian. Bobby writes an excellent blog that touches on just about every subject imaginable and he is a wonderful writer of poetry and short stories as well as thought-provoking posts on friendship, love, job satisfaction, etc. I've been tagged to tell you 8 random facts about myself.
1.) I used to play beer pong with Boone's Farm apple wine. It was better than the swill that passed as beer in college, if that's saying anything.
2.) I played the violin for 18 years and once won a fiddling competition.
3.) I'm allergic to cats and think they are evil because I'm convinced they know I'm allergic and purposefully come to jump on me and no one else when I am at a house that has them.
4.) My mother just sent me a picture I drew when I was 7 about what my future would be. It said "When I grow up I will be a lawyer, married and have a fish tank." Apparently I was a boring child and possessed the ability to see the future. I'm now married, a lawyer, and I have a 10 gallon fish tank with a bunch of fish in it.
5.) I'm a touch obsessed with old Nintendo systems. I still have my NES from when I was a little kid and still play it.
6.) I hate bananas.
7.) My very first job with a paycheck was scooping ice-cream. I didn't eat ice-cream for a year after working there.
8.) I collect teapots.
So, random enough for you? Apparently I now get to tag 8 other bloggers to tell us 8 random things about themselves.
Let's go with:
El Jefe of El Bloggo Torcido
Dr. Debs of Good Wine Under $20
Marshall of WineQ
Nate of Vinvenio
Farley of Wine Outlook
Shantanu of Traveller's Tales
Catie of Through the Walla Walla Grape Vine
Tim of Wine Cast
And just for kicks, me as a kid:

Beer pong with Boones Farm?LOL that sounds pretty fun. Violin also, very cool. It's nice to know some of this stuff about you Sonadora. I'm really happy that you did this:):)

Wow, it's going to be tough to follow up on your random 8 facts! And which NES games do you still have?? Enquiring minds want to know...
Thanks for the tag - I've been really busy these past few weeks interviewing for a new job and simultaneously getting ready for a long overdue vacation that I'm leaving for in just a couple hours (yikes! need to finish packing!) so my response may be a bit delayed (no computer or Internet in a boat in the middle of the Caribbean!) but if I step ashore and find a computer, I'll try to catch up ;-)

OK, as soon as I unpack I'm on it! Right now everything's random so I'm sure I'll find 8 things to talk about!

Awww how cute! I'm not sure if the WineQ blog is an appropriate place for this, but I will consider it! :)
Thanks for the tag.

I hate bananas with a passion.

Nate, I have all the Marios, some Zelda, California Games, a bunch of others I can't remember at the moment!
Gee Sarah, can't imagine where you saw that picture before :)

cats do that to me as well - deathly allergic (which spoils wine for the evening) - vile beasts.
