7 things about me that you might not know meme

Posted on Nov 13, 2007 by CHESSNOID in Uncategorized | 8 Comments

Peter at St Vincent’s blog tagged me with a meme. He was nice enough to ask me before he tagged me, but I really don’t mind. The thing I like about these memes is they do help with creating a closer knit community and they create links to sites of other bloggers you know.

This meme is simply about 7 things you might not know about me.

1. My favorite dogs are golden retrievers. They are loyal, fun, and I just love the way they look.

2. I use to play video games at the arcade and once played on one quarter for 6 hours straight. No kidding.

3. I love to buy computers. In the last 5 years, I have probably owned 10 desktops or laptops. I always try to sell my old ones before I get new ones.

4. I have blogged everyday since I started this blog. I use it more as a personal journal of whatever I am thinking about. A year ago, I had no clue of what a blog was.

5. I use to sell comics on eBay and made a good profit from it. I am currently getting back into eBaying.

6. My favorite social media at this time is StumbleUpon. I really like it very much and have about 5,300 stumbles. I will generally stumble 100 sites a day.

7. Snoopy is my favorite cartoon character of all time. I love the jazzy songs they play with all those old peanuts TV cartoons.

Well, there you go. 7 things you probably didn’t know about me and they are all true.

I have decided to randomly choose people from my all in one blogroll for this meme. Hopefully, they get the ping through their technorati and see this. Talking about yourself is any easy meme so I hope you don’t mind the tag. Just tell us 7 things about yourself that we didn’t know then tag a few other bloggers who would enjoy doing the meme. If you don’t do the meme no hard feelings because it is just for fun. Cheers in advance.

Those are seriously some good random things (imo). Big ups to you on the arcade games, computers and blogging tip. Those ones really made me stop and say “wow” ha ha.

And btw, thanks for the tag! I think I’ll get around to this on Sunday. It’ll be fun ’cause I don’t think I’ve been tagged in something like this before.

Hi Bush,
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I think all the things that made you say wow is because I have an addictive personality of some sorts. When I find stuff I like, I really get into it.
I look forward to reading your post.
CHeers!

Hi! By the look of it we have a few things in common. But I don’t think I will ever get to own that many computers even in my life time. Like to know what you do with them all. As for comics, they do make big money if you’ve got the right one. All the best and I thank you again for taking this one on board.

Hi Peter,
We definitely do have a few things in common. As for the computers, I try to resell them or give them away. I don’t like throwing it away, so it is a form of recycling.
CHeers!

Chessnoid you sound like a lot of fun. When my husband and I first got married (many moons ago) we used to go to the arcade at least three nights a week! And I’ve got your computer Jones. I’m always looking for the latest technology.

AJ at Over Analyze It beat you to the punch! I just did this meme last week.

Hi Shelia,
My wife and I used to go to arcades together too. Technology is so addictive isn’t it.

I saw Venus this morning on GMA and she was promoting her new clothing line all under $20. I think it will sell very well.

Cheers!

Hi Chessnoid,

Thanks for the tag, it was interesting to read some insider stuff about you. Snoopy has also always been my favorite character and I also favor golden retriever dogs.

So we do have something in common too.
I might have to pass on the tag for now since I just did one the other day.

If I can I’ll get to it next week.

Hi Monika,
Thanks for the comment. Glad you are a snoopy fan too. It seems I have a lot of things in common with the people who actually read my blog.

No worries about the meme. I know that there are so many out there floating around and I know how it is being tagged more than once in the same week. Have an excellent weekend.
Cheers!
