I don't want to be giving an impression that I'm closing the blog (and that's the title story). I've been tagged. Now why is this so much of a phenomenon on blogs? What more are you going to know with 8 random facts? About me!? Ah well, who cares? After all it's a meme, and let me not disrupt the progress of a (localized) internet phenomenon. But I'm rather sure I'm the last among my peer group to put a post on 8RF, so I have the right to brutally terminate the phenomenon by not tagging anyone! Ah, fatal hilarity :D (not from Batman)
Here goes:
1. I was one of the few kids in my kindergarten who didn't cry on the first day of LKG. I was rather dumbstruck thinking: "What are so many kids crying about?" But I did have reason for crying on the second day, as I left my water bottle there and got scolded a lot at home. To make things worse, when the water bottle was indeed found, and shown in class, I couldn't identify it as mine.
2. There is no photo of me showing the red eye effect. Man, have I got one good pair of eyes :O
3. I had a reputation for arguing with my teachers during my 11th & 12th. So much so, that I have skipped at least 10 lunches just for arguing with my teachers (and in the process, made them skip lunch too!). And with all due respect to them, these were only over subject doubts.
4. I have a thing for old clothes, and I've had luck with them. My 8th standard school uniform trousers still fit me, and I wore them here in my 1st & 2nd year (till my mother threatened to burn them if I wore them again). I have a shirt that I was gifted in 1997, and it too still fits me! Fancy clothes that have outgrown a full teenage! Or for a more imposing figure, 10 years - that's half my life!
5. I collect straws of Appy/Frooti. I have more than 400 now, and probably only 20% of that is what I really consumed. I want to make a Buckminster Fullerene model using the straws.
6. While in a Bangalore mall, many of my friends were drooling at the girls, and I was drooling at a Maisto remote controlled Ferrari F1 car model.
7. I am very obsessive-compulsive and have vague habits. I chew on my fingers, pull out my hair - as thought stimulants. So much, that I have a bald spot from it.
8. I have plans to learn skateboarding this semester. All the inspiration for this comes from ESPN X-games and Tony Hawk's game series.
So much for random facts. I'm sure my next post will be much better.
