I've been tagged! Jen at "love FOOD cook FOOD" has dragged me kicking and screaming into this game! It's a little game going around which gives us an opportunity to ramble on about our ourselves. As if we don't all do enough of that already ;)
So in order to keep your attention.. I'm going to berate you with randomness throughout this post. Firstly, here's an gif of baby owls.
Everyone loves baby owls. If you don't, be ashamed. Eternal shame on you. Shame shame shame.
Anyways, here are the rules to this tag game:
1. You must post the rules. (I almost didn't, I know, I'm such a rebel.)
2. Post 6 fun facts about yourself in the blog post.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then create 6 new questions for the people you tagged.
4. Tag 6 people and link them on your post.
5. Let them know you’ve tagged them.
It was meant to be 12 facts, 12 questions and 12 tags but I felt that was a little bit too indulgent. Also, let's face it, I have the attention span of goldfish.
What am I mean to be doing again?
Oh right, randomness..
I want this hat. Someone find it for me and send me the link.
If you find it for me, I might take a photo of me wearing it while bouncing on a trampoline and post it on here. Oh the hilarity we would have.
Back to the tag game. So 6 things you might not know about me:
1. I had open heart surgery on 12/08/2010 to correct a congenital problem called Coarctation of the Aorta.
2. After the surgery, I went on to become Intermediate Men's Champion in Scottish University Trampolining 2010/2011.
3. I HATE Avocados.
4. My dog is called Tigger and he is a cross between a Border Collie and a Dalmatian. He is black and white and fluffy like a Border Collie. However, where he is white, he has black spots like a dalmatian. My Dad calls him a "Dollie" breed.
5. When I was younger, I thought that if you jumped off the roof with an umbrella up, that you would fly like Mary Poppins. Luckily, I never tested this idea.
6. When I'm really hungover, I need to lie face down on the floor. I have no idea why this happens but it makes me feel immediately better.
Incoming dose of randomness..
I'd like to introduce you to Shakesbear.

What a boss.
Back to the game, Jen's questions:
- What’s your most used kitchen gadget? Probably my electric handheld whisk.
- Which ingredient could you not live without? Chocolate. I don't want to think about living without it. I might cry.
- What dish means Christmas to you? Roast Potatoes.. is that weird?
- If you could choose a cake for your birthday, which kind would you choose? Something very alcoholic. Could you just make me a cake made of champagne? Does that still count as cake? That would be perfect.
- If you were stuck in the desert how would you survive? Why would I be in a desert? Who's bright idea was it to go to a desert? How did I end up in said desert? I would probably do a Captain Jack Sparrow and pull out my secret stash of alcohol and just get drunk till someone saved me.
- What’s the meanest trick you’ve ever pulled? Mean? Me? No way. Although, when I was in first year, I lived with a bunch of girls in University Halls. I used to hide around corners and in their wardrobes to try and scare them. They tried to do it to me once. However, when I opened my bedroom door, all I could hear was giggling coming out of my wardobe. They were very drunk and loudly whispering "We're just like ninjas."
My questions to those tagged:
1. If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be and why?
2. If you could be the opposite sex for a day, what would you do?
3. Can you tell me what a Boggart is? No googling.
4. What's your favourite cocktail?
5. If you had to be covered head to toe in cheese, what cheese would you pick and why?
6. Can you tell me what the national dance of England is?
What's that? You want more randomness? Very well.

I'm excited to see all your answers to my marvellous questions. Remember, the randomness is not apart of the game, I just threw it in for fun. Feel free to do the same!
Peace out!



Haha! Brilliantly done, Liam. I laughed pretty hard. "We're just like ninjas" - that got me. I love your questions, too... what kind of cheese *would* I want to be covered in?? :P
ReplyDeleteI will start with something totally random....owls scare me! Even the babies....ewwww!!!
ReplyDeleteThe hat, I can get on any street corner in SF or from any of the thousands of online stores that deliver but I don't think any of them will deliver to Scotland without astronomical fees!
Um...Avocados? Really? They are like green gold! Sooooo delish!
I have a border collie/terrier mix named Cocoa and she is a neurotic spaz who should be studied by many canine psychologists but I think she is perfect!
Roasted potatoes is not a weird answer....the potato is the most wonderful of all foods in the whole wide world!
Lastly...really? You are giving me homework? Have I offended you in some way that you think it is right to punish me with more work than I already have to do? I behind on my taxes and now I have one more distraction today to keep me from finishing them! Hee Heeeee! Plus you I only get to pick one cheese, that is nearly impossible! ;)
Who knew Jackie Chan wold look so cute in a Panda Cap?
ReplyDeleteThanks for tagging me! I love these random photos, although I particularly enjoyed Shakesbear. And I am with you on the chocolate thing. Can't live without it!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you...I couldn't find a recipe for the Mimosa Pop Tarts you suggested on my blog but I did find a recipe for Mimosa Popsicles that made me think of you! Ironically it's on a blog called "Because I'm Addicted"! LOL
