Tag, I'm it!

I’ve been tagged. According to Chris Schroen, you’re somebody when you’ve been tagged, although I’m not sure that's true. Six months ago, I didn’t know what a meme was, and I’m violently opposed to chain email. But when I got tagged by the illustrious Northstar, I tracked this rich meme-y goodness back as far as Liberal Avenger, and decided I’m in pretty good company (basically everyone linked in this paragraph). So I figure, why not? It’ll give you a chance to plumb the depths of my soul, or at the very least, wade in the shallows of my psyche.

According to the rules, I have to alter/drop/add at least one question, and then pass this on to three others. Easy enough.

I’m relatively new to blogging and don’t know many other bloggers personally, so I’ll pass this on to people I respect. If they play along, I’ll be interested in their answers. So I hereby pass the baton to:

• Liz, at Blondesense, ‘cause I like her style
• Richard, at All Spin Zone, ‘cause I value his opinions
• Lindsay, at Majikthise, ‘cause she’s wicked smart
