Mitch tagged me last year (what?!) to write about 8 Things.

GBex tagged me two months ago about doing Crazy 8s Meme.

Since both more or less have the same contents, I decided to put these together to save me another task of doping a meme. Here are the eight things which I have to write something about:

My apologies if you have already done the meme.

I spent a lot of time doing this, I hope you won’t find it as difficult as I did. Just have fun Yes, I found the meme difficult not just because I am up to my neck in tags but also I had to do some self-examination here.
