After being tagged by those goshdarned heathens Michael and Tobe38 I felt duty bound, nay, compelled, to partake of their inquisitions.

Here are the rules:

• We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
• Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
• People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
• At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
• Don’t forget to leave them each a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Here are eight things that you may not know about me.

1. I’m red/green colour blind, which means that I’m really shit at snooker.
2. I am learning Esperanto which I expect to have very little practical use but it somewhat satisfies my Utopian proclivities.
3. Despite my penchant for uptempo hard-rocking electro, I have a soft spot for a certain Monobrowed Purveyor of Ultimate Filth.
4. Things that I like: gadgets, languages, inverse square relationships, logic, leaves, dusk, well-designed software, swimming and diving, crêpe pancakes. Things that I dislike: the chanting of football crowds, the cult of celebrity, the texture of mushrooms, ball-point pens, dogs, heights above solid ground, electric fans.
5. It has often been said by people that know me that I am exceedingly literal, pedantic, critical, verbose and logical, and that I have a tendency to pause conversation while agonising over the most appropriate term to explain myself as accurately and precisely as possible. I suspect that I may “suffer” from Asperger’s Syndrome, but this hasn’t yet been clinically diagnosed.
6. I have four items of clothing that are not black (or washed-out variants thereof) and two of those are white shirts (only one of which has a collar). I have nine ties, of which I have worn only two.
7. I’ve only ever voted once, due to an inherent distrust of all politicians, no matter their flavour.
8. I have a (non-sexual) stationery fetish, and would gladly spend a large amount of money on the ideal fountain pen.

To be frank, this meme seems to have gone through the atheist blogosphere like a dose of salts, so, in the spirit of not trying to piss those people who have already received this countless times off, here goes:

• Pooflinger’s anonymous
• Lord J-Bar For Democracy, Not Theocracy
• Religion *is* a Problem
• One Good Move
• No More Hornets
• Daylight Atheism
• Aidan Maconachy

Damn, only seven.

Apologies if you’ve already been tagged to death.
