16 Random Things:
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. Choose 16 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. (I'm generally a sink not a source when it comes to spam. So I considered long and hard about propagating this one. But the upside of finding out neat and interesting things about all my friends was too tempting)
1. I eat cheese as a staple. In Taiwan my nails developed weak spots due to lack of calcium.
2. I play squash as much as my knees will allow- up to 4 hour stretches 4 days a week
3. I am working on a graphic novel.
4. I took 5 years to finish off my last list of New Year's resolutions. I'm not sure whether that's an achievement or a failure...
