Around about 12:00 this afternoon, I received a direct message on twitter from @goldensky, admittedly at first I thought it was spam and just ignored it, however, for some reason curiosity got the better of me and I followed the link in the message which took me to goldenskye’s blog. The name of the game is to post seven random facts about yourself, then select seven other friends from twitter and request that they do the same. It’s similar to all that chain mail stuff you mark as spam, but … what the hell, it’s good fun and I’m waiting for the party to start down the pub.
- I’m currently dressed as a vicar whilst writing this and I’m confused as to whether it’s a sin to embellish the truth whilst dressed as a member of the cloth.
- My favourite cartoon whilst growing-up was Fraggle Rock and I still have a Gobo cuddly toy from when I was four years old that I keep on my desk. To-date, I think it’s the oldest thing I own and probably the only thing I cherish other than my Porsche.
- Next week, my Porsche is being taken back by the finance agency, as two weeks ago I quit my IT job in London so I could get a full-time job in the Hospital, to meet my required health-care experience to get into Medical School. I’m also having to move out of my little rented cottage and back in with my Mum. Roll on 2009 eh, isn’t there a book about the monk who sold his Ferrari, perhaps ‘the wannabe medical student who sold his Porsche’, has a ring to it?
- I actually have a phobia of taking/giving blood and I’m currently reading different books on CBT and NLP as well as watching multiple blood test videos on you tube, on repeat — desensitisation and all that… I think it’s working… I’m not going to be the medical student who passes out during gross anatomy due to feeling a little squeamish, besides which I have a passion for emergency medicine – work that one out! *sigh*
- Today I was in a shop buying some beers for tonight and an old lady came-up to me and asked what Parish I was based in (she assumed I was a priest/vicar), and I told her London and smiled kindly, somewhat as I imagined a vicar would. Oh did I not say? I have actually been wearing my vicar outfit all day, including when I went in to town .. but the party doesn’t start until 20:00 tonight.. (I’m so going to regret writing this list)
- I bought myself an engraved stethoscope for Christmas and sometimes I wear it around my neck whilst reading, but I make sure no one is around first
- The last time I was doing volunteer work for the Blind Society as a befriender, I had gone around this house to help some old-guy fill-in his will, within ten minutes the police were knocking on the door and I had been arrested and put in their squad car. Evidently one of the resident old-ladies had seen me arrive and thought I was a burglar, what made it worse was I couldn’t find my volunteer ID to show the police so had to go down the station while they verified I was who I said I was. I didn’t do anymore volunteering for them again.
Well that’s that done, not too embarrassing I hope, now to the part where I tag seven people to take part:
Rules as copied from goldenskye’s blog:
