Inherits Microsoft.VisualBasic.MVP : Implements IBrainFart
Double Tagged by the 5 Things Meme

The 5 Things meme has been around for a week or two now, which I've been happily avoiding - and now I've been tagged twice in the same day! Thanks (well, blame :) goes to Anthony Borton and Dave Burke.

And so - 5 Things You Don't Know About Me.

  1. My father was in the RAAF, so we moved around a lot. As a result I went to 10 different schools. (Well, including leaving one and coming back a couple of years later). Of those, I was at the last one the longest - my 3 year computer science degree took me 8 years :)
  2. My first bisexual experience was...I mean, I read a lot of fiction, especially horror, fantasy and sci-fi. I've got pretty much everything written by Stephen King, David Eddings, Brian Lumley and Stephen Donaldson. Next on my list if to complete my collection of Terry Pratchet books.
  3. Pertaining to 2. I really suck at reading non-fiction - especially computing texts.
  4. I'm really sick at the moment. As well as the carpal tunnel syndrome, i've got a middle ear infection and a throat infection. You should see all the drugs I'm taking at the moment!
  5. As of January 1st (a couple of days ago) I'm no longer an MVP. This year sucked pretty hard, especially at the end, so I'm not surprised. Actually, I never thought I deserved it in the first place, so I'm grateful for the 12 months I got :)

Damn, now I'm supposed to tag others? Ones that haven't been tagged already? Well, I'll try I suppose.

Rory Primrose, Secret Geek, Jordie, screw it, I can't be bothered to think of any more - I feel sick :)

Check out your exceptions report. I sent a comment but got custom error page and lose my text.

We're in opposite direction.  I suck in si-fi reading :-D

I hope you get better very soon :-)

Thanks.

Man, there's nothing worse than being sick, then being more sick, then being more sick. Talk about being kicked while you're down.

Nah man, you're not a total stalker. If you were, you would have included pictures of my underwear that you stole off my clothes line...

Dammit, so THAT'S where they went. You bastard!
