I Got Tagged in a Game of Blog Tag Too! What are the Chances?

Okay, speaking of chances, in other words, coincidences, I've been a fan of PinkPackrat for quite some time now. Pretty much since I started blogging last September. It didn't matter what she really wrote about, it was the way she wrote about it, and does, of course, that totally gets me enthralled. Needless to say, I'm hooked. I've been hooked.

Somehow or other I drifted, don't know how or what was going on. I think I did a feed instead of a follow because I was such a newbie and there's a million places where you can get your feed to store. Anyway, we were separated for about two months I think, maybe three I don't remember exactly. Then I shot her a glance again, one day just stumbled upon her somehow, and the next thing you know, I find out I know her! Well, not in person, but I know her writing on HubPages. Did the same to me there as she did to me here on blogspot. What a coincidence, huh? Out of the millions of people out there that blog and I happen to walk in on her Gin joint on today of all days... You get what I'm saying, of course.

So this wonderful blogger pal of mine, who incidentally got me onto Twitter all because of one of her blog posts, has decided to tag me. Why? Do you have to ask? Please. It's because I'm "delightful". Don't believe me, check out this post.

So what's this all about, this tag thing? Kinda like what we do on Facebook once in a while. The person who starts it is usually someone who wants to talk about themselves and then tags someone so they can read about the initial narcissist (I'm kidding here, I think. I don't really know who started this whole business. They could have been bullied into it for all I know.) At any rate, after that, it becomes a game. A way of getting to know people you know but don't really know. And it really is loads of fun. So here are the rules:

1. Mention the blogger who tagged you and link to his /her blog (check)
   
2. Post three lists of eight things about you that people don't know
   
3. Tag eight of your favorite bloggers and don't forget to tell them they've been tagged.
   

So, let's play Blog Tag, shall we? By the way, if I had actually clicked into the Blog Tag link, I wouldn't have gone on my rant about how it started, I think...
