In The Pink

Huge thanks to those of you who have taken part in the recent meme or left me a comment, answers posted so far have been a hoot! If you fancy a laugh and want to take part the original post with instructions is HERE . Posts up so far are from  Bowledover ,  Claire  and T-Bone . Thanks guys, I had a lot of fun reading your brilliant answers!

I have been thinking about Blogging today. I have been on Blogger since 2006 now and think I can honestly say I am here to stay. Over the years I have had times where I did not want to Blog, times when I wondered why I Blogged, and times when I could not keep away from my Blog and it became my most treasured activity of the day. I have shared thoughts and experiences with other Bloggers, learnt many things from people all over the world, and made a very good friend or two. I have found new Bloggers through: Blogging groups such as Camera Critters, Sky Watch Friday and Thursday Thirteen, have followed links on other Bloggers Link Lists when an identity or Blog name caught my attention and have found other Bloggers while reading comments on other peoples pages, especially now everyone uses identity pictures. Its a bit like buying an album because you like the cover! Thankfully following cool identity pictures has turned out to be more beneficial than buying albums be...

I have been tagged by Retired and Crazy to post 6 interesting things about myself. Well here they are however if you have another moment to spare the answers that Retired and Crazy posted to this and another meme make for a really good read! I do so love finding new bloggers! Anyway, here they are, read 'em and weep! 1. I frequently dream of vampires, and have done so since childhood. They normally have romantic connotations although I have never ended up a vampire yet! (I have only had one vampire dream with David Boreanaz in it, much to my disgust!) 2. I almost always have a tune playing in my head, a sort of soundtrack to thought. Mostly a pleasant addition to life however occasionally distracting when plagued by a duff song! 3. I would like a beard, and if I could would grow a really long one like the Gibbons boys from ZZ Top ! I would stroke it for dramatic effect and twiddle it between my fingers during moments of high concentration. 4. I love all weather, and all weather ...

Ok . I have been feeling like a bit of fun of late, and have thought of some random questions that I thought would make a blogging good meme! I will be tagging several bloggers who I hope would like to participate and have provided my own answers to the questions posed at the end of this posting. So, if you are interested, or have been tagged, copy the following questions and post them with your answers, and feel free to pass this one on! I am looking forward to reading the results and as ever my sincerest thanks for participating! I am starting with an old favourite: If you could have super powers what would they be and what would you do with them? (Please feel free to be selfish, you do not have to save the world!) Were you to find your self stranded on an island with a CD player...it could happen...what would your top 10 bloggers island discs be? If you were a smell what would it be? What bird would you most like to be? If you were a bird who's head would you poo on? Are there...

I have been tagged by Coversgirl to add a tip to the following list. It has not been easy, there are some very good tips and I have needed a few days to think of one worthy of adding but I think I have got it! -Start Copy- It’s very simple. When this is passed on to you, copy the whole thing, skim the list and put a * star beside those that you like. (Check out especially the * starred ones.) Add the next number (1. 2. 3. 4. 5., etc.) and write your own blogging tip for other bloggers. Try to make your tip general. After that, tag 10 other people. Link love some friends! Just think- if 10 people start this, the 10 people pass it onto another 10 people, you have 100 links already! 1. Look, read, and learn. ***- http://www.neonscent.com/ 2. Be, EXCELLENT to each other. **- http://www.bushmackel.com/ 3. Don’t let money change ya! *- http://www.therandomforest.info/ 4. Always reply to your comments. *******- http://chattiekat.com/ 5. Link liberally — it keeps you and your friends afloat i...

I found this while visiting Literary Feline . Grab the book that is nearest to you (no cheating), turn to page 161, post the text of the fifth full sentence on the page, post the rules and tag three people. I tag: Mac's Niece at Caged Minutes , Bowledover and Coversgirl at Between the Covers. Page 161, 5th full sentence: 'Adam didn't have to listen to Eve saying that other men could have done it better, and Eve didn't have to listen to Adam saying he'd do it after his night out with the boys.'

I have recently been tagged, an almost entirely new experience for me! In the early days of In The Pink I was tagged by Mac’s Niece with this very same meme however was uncomfortable revealing anything about myself. Mac’s Niece happens to be my sister and she was very understanding of my decision not to participate, I sent my list to her via email and that was that. Anyway my need for anonymity has steadily subsided as I have progressed in blogging and I have now been tagged by Coversgirl with the same meme. I therefore already have a list of weird and habitual facts about myself! So! Here are the rules: 1: Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves. 2: People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules. 3: At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names. 4: Don't forget to leave them a comment and tell them they're tagged, and to read your blog. My 8 Oddities! 1. I frequently dream of vamp...
