The Rules: "Each person posts the rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people and then visits those peoples' sites and comments letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do."
I think that I really haven't told anything about me since I started this blog. Just my thoughts and such. They are in no real order, just as they came to mind. Now, let's delve into my secret passions.
1) I am African American- It's one thing I've neglected to tell my readers just because of the reaction I get sometimes when people find out about my race.
2) I love to dance- I dance to any kind of music... anytime and everywhere. I especially like hip hop and r&b.
3)Singing... I wasn't created to do such a thing. I'd venture to say if my voice get's any worse (is it even possible?) the people of Earth are going to have to go and inhabit a new planet.
4)Art is something I've always been passionate about. Drawing and writing and even just looking and commenting on other pieces is something I do all the time. Here's a little something I sketched up and scanned a while ago.
5)I'm deathly afraid of crickets... they have always been evil disgusting creatures that make annoying noises.
6)I'm very anal retentive. It's a milder form of OCD. Sometimes, things just have to be perfect with me. My mom get embarrassed when we go to the store and I start rearranging boxes of cereal or putting things in there right place. This also pertains to restaurants in which I can't help but be excessively neat in the way my table setting is.
Yes, it bothers the crap outta me
7)I'm not good at talking to people. In my elementary days I was bullied so I kind of receded into myself during middle school. I had friends but didn't talk much. Now, going into my sophomore year of high school, it's becoming easier but I'm still pretty quiet.
8)I am the most sarcastic person you'll ever meet. Seriously, here on blogger I tone it down to pretty much nothing but everywhere I else... I'm a beast.
Okie dokie, there's that for you. Now for the 8 people. This'll be hard, I don't think I watch that many people :P
1)First is Graham. I cheated I know, he already did one :P
2)Next is Somegirl. Just because she is one of the wittiest (although she prefers slightly neurotic) writers I know.
3)And Hannah. Man, I love the name of this girls blog. Not to mention this could be interesting.
4)JILL SMOLINSKI. I dunno know if she will do it, but it could be interesting.
5)Paper Fan Club. Another one of those iffy ones, but she's got a great blog.
6)-Spaceman Spiff-. Wow, I've only read him recently, but his posts have got me hooked. Reminds me of The Dude... connection?
7)J.L. Murphy, doubt she'll do it either but I gotta put someone on the list.
8)Rizzo, hasn't posted in quite sometime. Perhaps...
Whew, there we go. A little about me.

Hi !
I find you through Graham blog, I was just curious to see your blog.
You mention in your 8 things that you're African American and that you don't usually mention it because of the reactions. Wow... I'm actually qute surprise. I might be a dreamer... I though races and ethnicities didn't matter at all on the web (I mean, of course it doesn't matter in real life as well !).
Don't be so surprised, because everywhere you go in this time it matters. Some times it's fine and people don't care but at others... it [the comments] kind of hurt you know?

So you can dance but you can't sing, huh? I think dancing is much more fun, so you got the better end of the deal. I can't do either, but I do anyway.
How funny that I've been tagged! I'll do it - but probably on my myspace blog (myspace.com/jillsmolinski) just for the flexibility.
It was fun reading your 8 things.
Hey there! Flattered by the tag and the introduction! I'm too new to blogging to know 8 fellow bloggers!! You seem to have tagged all the ones I know!! But yes, thank you I'll do it.
P.S. I left you a reply on the comment you left on my last post :)
jill smolinski - ^_^ I completely agree with you. And thank you (I'll make sure to keep an eye out for that).
somegirl - You're quite welcome :) I'll make sure to take a look.

Hey there Epoch[z] I will totally do this game. I think you know all of the people I know so I am not sure who to tag but I will think of someone I am sure.
This should be fun :)
Hey you! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog, I loved it! I hope you keep visiting :)!
I am African (I was born is Africa, but I was raised in Europe), and I am mixed! You do not have to identify yourself by the colour of your skin, but yes by who you are, your feelings, your art...! I loved the 8 things about you: nice! People who react badly before the fact of your being African-American are a bunch of ignorants!
Keep up, girl, you have my support :)!
Cheers!
Hey, I have to let you down on this one. The format of my "blog" doesn't reaay allow for personal posts. It is more of a comedy/absurd news site. I could put it in on the About Me page, but I wouldn't want to relegate my friends to a secondary page.
BTW, me and my friend Bryan (The Dude) put the site up together so that is the connection *thumbs up*. We each post under our names. I think as part of the About Me page, we will start having a list of blogs we are visiting regularly. I know I will definitely have yours on my list.
Anyway, thanks for the Tag. We put the DoFollow plugin on the site so each time you post, you get a link that google follows from our site to yours...so an endless amount of tags if you want them (lol).
Thought I'd come check in on you epoch...
Blog is looking good, glad to see that you followed through with this post.
I like the illustration, maybe you can make us a logo over at The Daily Fuzz.
Hey epoch [z], great response to the tag!!!! You only need to write another 92 interesting things and you too will have a "100 things about me" list...LOL!
Your posts continue to be great, I look forward to reading them each time I visit. Keep it up matie!!!!
Best wishes as always ~ Graham :)
hannah - Haha thanks and good luck :)
max - Hello there and thank you. So true... skin color is just that, just a color. You've got a great blog, I'll be checking up often.
-spaceman spiff- It's fine :) I had a feeling... some of the posts just had a lot of The Dude's witty little remarks. Not to mention you've got some great stuff to. Lol, thank you!!
365 Days - Thank you, I think I could do that. Logos are fun to make.
Graham - If I wasn't so lazy... lol. Thank you!
~Epoch [z]
p.s. Thanks everyone for the comments and what not. As always, they are much appreciated.
1)Oh man where is my slingshot:)Just joking... whoever gives you bs about things like ethnicity and such doesnt really worth a second thought now does it:)
2)Can you get any cooler than that! Way to go!
3)Way ahead of you girl... I just booked my place in the first ever mission to inhabit another planet. Yep, I am willing to take that risk over your singing:)
4)Nice!
5)Cant say I agree,let the little buggers sing merrily I say:)
6)I could use someone to tidy up my room (send a CV at logicsucks@DP.com) since I can hear all the untidy spots in the place whispering and plotting a revolt against me. I have to hurry and intercept their evil, evil plans...:)
7)For a quiet person you have quite verbal blog posts. So I am not really buying it:) You just want us to lower our defenses so you can verbally retaliate... I am on to you Epoch[z] you are not fooling this Merc...:)
8)I've lived in the UK for 5 years... let me tell you it doesnt get much more sarcastic than over there. Maybe you should think of moving there or something, you would feel straight at home trust me...
One of the best "8 things about me" I read by the way (I am not lying, Merc's honour, heh)
Why thank you very much for this response :)
5) Oh my... I couldn't NOT agree more ;p
6)Haha
7)I assure you, I am very quiet. Although what goes on in my head is a completely different story. The story that I write my blog about.
8)I think I'd want to visit the UK sometime. My home away from home.
Thank you!! Thank you.
~Epoch [z]
p.s. Great blog by the way
