7 Things - keeping it going January 14, 2009

Incase you haven't heard, the 7 things phanomia is going around PEI. Rob Lantz tagged me and therefore I must follow through with the idea.

The 7 things idea is simple, its the same idea as in the movie "Pay It Forward" or chain letters.

While I don't usually participate in forwarding chain letters here goes my first chain letter forwarding attempt.

Here are the rules as posted in most blogs:

1. Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
2. Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged.

And now, the seven things:

1. I can't stand debt. I have never had credit problems (okay maybe once where Futureshop put me on a pay no interest for 3 months deal but forgot I was on it or something) but I absolutely hate having a loan. The only debt I've felt comfortable with is my government student loan where I pay no interest. This is a good thing and usually leads to me paying off every loan very quickly.
2. My trip to Australia in 2001 was on the tax payers dollar through Army Cadets and surrounded 9/11. I purchased a lot of magazines regarding the attack. The 12 of us that went thought we'd be stuck in Australia for a while.
3. I remember stealing hockey cards from Detroit Red Wings 121st overall pick in the 2001 entry draft, goalie Drew MacIntyre. My parents ended up making me give them back.
4. When I was a kid I was horribly scared of lightning. Today, I love it. See photo below.
5. I used to be a huge hockey fan, NHL everyday. Then Roy went to Colorado and I began to loose interest.
6. I have a secret desire to be a chef & car mechanic. I don't cook that often but when I do, it's good.
7. I'm really picky. I've been looking for a house for 2 years. The only one I was really interested in was purchased right after I looked at it. The new owners had a conditional offer in that they'd buy it if they sold their house. I guess they ended up getting the mortgage approved without selling their other house. It's the brown house that you can barely see in the above map, I'll probably buy something I can fix into what I want.

And to keep the ball rolling: Paul Macneill, Maureen Kerr, Ryan Palmer, Jevon MacDonald, Amber MacArthur, Tim Banks, and Andy Collier.
