I've been tagged!

Whoops, Chelsea got me! Well, the least I can do is keep the game going... :D

Rules:
Once tagged, you must link to the person who tagged you. Then post the rules before your list, and list 8 random things about yourself. At the end of the post, you must tag and link to 8 other people, visit their sites, and leave a comment letting them know they’ve been tagged.

1. One of the greatest thrills of my 20s was to go backstage at a Monkees concert here in Austin.


2. I founded a (now defunct) branch of the Barefoot Hikers Society here when I was in college.


3. For some reason, I have a serious aversion to greasy dirt - the icky kind of dirt you find when touching car parts, for example.


4. My life is a musical, and quite often you'll catch me singing along.


5. Speaking of singing, currently I sing with two local choruses as well as in my church choir. I do eventually hope to make a go of it in a solo career, but perhaps I'll try out for the opera first.


6. The digits in my age add up to 6.


7. Everyone in my immediate family has a holiday for a birthday, save one (and technically we can find some sort of holiday on hers as well).


8. I am a biblio-, video- and audiophile: my collection in each of these areas numbers in the hundreds and would be larger if I had more money.

Now I've got to figure out who to tag...especially since at least 3 of the people I planned on tagging have already been tagged! So here it goes for Caro, Stacy, Robin, Judy, Laurie, Zeeppo, Kimberly, and OzKnitter. Sorry about that! :D
