Quoting Beatriz, “because they tagged me.”
Here are the instructions:

  1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
  2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their 8 things and post these rules.
  3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
  4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

and here are the eight things that you need:

  1. i can easily walk five miles without noticing
  2. i got my first book about computers when I was 6 years old
  3. i have always wanted to be an astronaut. I still have hopes
  4. i have grown skeptical of politics – after Galán’s assassination
  5. i have studied math
  6. i used to hike
  7. i have eaten guinea pigs
  8. i am interested in environmental economics

and now I tag these eight people: Liz, Dawn, Elaine, Dan, Greg, Francis, Dervala, and Morgaine.
