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.

I was inspired to try skateboarding as well, thanks to the X Games and THPS. Boy, it's really hard. It's hard just to stand on the skateboard with falling, let alone skate.
Still, better than what happened to this guy.
Yes, that's another big reason I want to do it. It is technically very challenging. Furthermore, I want to try the even more technically challenging part of attempting flip tricks!
i used to cry till 2nd standard :P
Well.. Fact no. 6 doesn't come as a surprise! was there a male driver on the Ferari? ;) ok.. no offence.
Poor school teachers again.. You should try that on one of our manufacturing prof's; that's when life will be sacred for those who live through! Perhaps, if you do it at the end of the class before Lunch time, you won't!
Congratulations on terminating the internet phenomenon. but it helps if you look around for members in your peer group who haven't been tagged! :P
You haven't tagged anyone! And the fact that ferraris makes better eye candy than most girls is common knowledge!! :-)
Drooling at THAT?? Nai, you raise doubts :)
(You're not the last one to post 8 RF BTW, as you might've realized by now.)
Haha.. you're stil you eh.. and i remember those lunch time hours where we both used to spoil it for the teachers asking doubts.. partner in crime..
