Young Writers Society

I saw this fun activity elsewhere and thought it could be entertaining. The idea is to "tag" people, and you still can, either by PMing your YWS friends. For me though, I just rather post my facts in the Lounge. I'm not that shy!

*

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random personal things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.


1. I'm a history buff, all aspects of it.

2. I read Fantasy and Non-Fiction.

19. I'm very independant.

20. I typically avoid drinking alcohol because I don't have the taste buds for the stuff.

21. I've been fishing for twenty-two years.

22. I've been doing the outdoorsy thing since I was old enough to walk. This includes: hiking, fishing, camping, exploring, walking up and down the rivers and/or dirt roads in bare feet.

23. I do not have a license; a self-made choice. Thus, I "get around" mostly by hoofing it or bicycle.

24. Graduated with High Honors in High School.

25. Stayed behind in High School for an extra year; self-made choice.
