The memes have attacked and once again my blog is another casualty! This time the onslaught was led by Bytey, supreme commander of the 7 Things meme army division.

Well, as part of my surrender treaty, I’m doing the meme, spreading it further. It’s like aliens implanting their eggs in you, except instead of aliens bursting out of your chest, memes burst out of your blog.

1. I was once a temp waiter at the Southport Flower Show. It was my first real job (I went to the job centre for it and everything!) and I earned about a seventh of what I earn a month now for three days work.
2. I had an absolutely terrible attendance rate at school and at college. In all cases I have felt justified. At school I felt everything was too easy and I got bored easily. I didn’t bother turning up because I felt endlessly practising the same things over and over was a waste of time. I’d rather stay home, pretending to be ill and teaching myself matrix math so I could code mods for Quake 1. There were threats of legal action from the government against my mother so I had to go back and keep up my attendance rate. It was much the same with college, but at least I was allowed not to turn up, within reason, and at worst I would have been kicked from the course rather than suffer legal action.
3. I thought I was the coolest kid on the block for having an Amiga 1200 with a MASSIVE 20MB hard drive!
4. I have to have cold drinks in a glass and hot drinks in a mug. I feel really wrong drinking something like squash or cold milk from a mug.
5. I have two extra ribs.
6. I’ve actually been roleplaying for a really long time since I was around 12 I think when I was doing freeform, no-dice, speech only roleplay in the playground at a school in Bournemouth when I was living in Pokesdown. I’ve lost contact with the guys I played with then, Richard (last name of Hohne I think) and Dominic (whose last name I can’t remember at all).
7. I’ve always wanted to live in a house like the one from M. C. Eschers House of Stairs, minus the weird bug things.

And tagging. This is the hard bit, I’m not sure I actually know seven people that have a blog and actually use it.

1. DruidX – my darling wife
2. Bytey – right back at you (yes, it’s a cop-out I know, give my antisocial arse some slack)
3. Lost Process – one of my best friends and my best man
4. Devo – my brother
5. Bloodred1889 – my friend Jade
6. Urbanvoodooman – another long time friend of mine
7. Dan Wentworth – a cool guy I met at LUGRadio Live that turned out to hail from Dorset as well!

And now the rules:

• Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post – some random, some weird.
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.
