If you’re a member of the social networking site Facebook, chances are you’ve seen or been tagged to participate in this “25 random things about me” meme.  I was first tagged by my cousin and was then repeatedly tagged by more friends and family members to participate.   At first I tried to resist, but after being repeatedly tagged, I decided to participate.  I’ve decided to share my list on this blog, since it’s still fairly new, and I would like my readers to get to know me a little better.

Here’s how it works: friends send you an e-mail message (or, on Facebook, “tag” you in a note posted to their profile) with 25 heartfelt observations about themselves.  The rules are as follows:

RULES: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

And this is what I wrote:

1. Punctuality is very important to me. Being late is rude.

2. I have never been really drunk. Tipsy yes, but never silly-stupid, stumbling, don’t remember anything in the morning drunk. Losing control, even for an hour, scares me.

3. My biggest passion in life is hating my job.

4. This goes along with # 3 above. I’m disgusted with corporate America.

5. I’m a voracious reader and I read everything and anything. Books, magazines, papers, cereal boxes. Everything.

6. I once interviewed to work for the CIA.

7. It absolutely kills me to buy clothes full price. I usually buy things when they are on sale.

8. I own approximately 35 websites, and 4 blogs.

9. I go by several pseudonym’s online.

10. I’m addicted to Twitter!

11. My husband and I got engaged after 7 months of dating.

12. My favorite board game is taboo.

13. I Have always looked younger than my age. I still get carded to this day. (I’m 37!)

14. I’m a very crafty person. I made my own wedding invitations, wedding programs, and favor boxes for my wedding, even though it would have cost less to just order them.

15. I’m obsessed with photography and photos. I like having my own to remind me of my life’s moments. I love looking at friends’ photos. I will even spend time looking at other people’s photos (like my friends’ friends’ photos on Facebook, or flickr for example).

16. I love spring, summer and autumn and could live without winter.

17. I love to travel and hope to visit countries on all continents before I die.

18. I am a travel snob. When I spend a small fortune on my travel adventures, I will NOT accept mediocre service, attitude or accommodations. Period.

19. I hate changing diapers.

20. I miss the conveniences that living in a big city offers. I hate having to drive just to go to the store.

21. I went to law school not because I wanted to be a lawyer, but because I knew that I could land higher paying jobs with a J.D. as opposed to having only a B.A.

22. My best friend from college and I were once aspiring rappers, who went by the name “Chaos & Mayhem”

23. I prefer to shop online than in actual brick and mortar stores.

24. I love life and find every aspect of it the most fascinating journey there is.

25. Compiling this list took a lot longer than I thought it would.

Ok, now back to work on increasing my online income!

Has anyone else participated in this meme?  If so care to share?
