8 Random Things....

I've been tagged by HurricaneHetta to list 8 random things about myself. Now I should tag 8 other people but ahem I don't think I even have that many in my vox neighbourhood! Ha ha - that can be the first random thing about myself - I only have a small vox corral....OK getting serious now here goes.....

1. I used to own and ride a 600cc motorcycle also know as a Kawasaki Ninja. It was tres sexy and very powerful and at the time I knew a motorbike mechanic who took great pleasure in 'fruiting' up the bike with things like polished wheel rims and a go-fast loud exhaust pipe. For a while there I was Queen of the road and no 4 wheels could touch me! *Sigh* those were the days but I became older and alas more sensible and sold 'Pouncer' - named thusly because I always felt the bike was always ready to pounce like a puma. This is not my bike below but the same model and colour;

2. I used to play bass guitar in a band called Black Moon. What - you havent heard of this seminal stoner rock icon??!! Well we did only play 7 gigs in our home town including a 40th lesbian birthday party in which the crowd stood about 20m away from us the whole time, and I think were hoping against hope that we would morph into a KD Lang or Patsy Kline tribute band. Nothing doing I'm afraid ladies. The band self-combusted when the singing drummer (yes I know not a good look), went clinically insane and his brother hocked my guitar & amplifier during one or our hiatuses. It was quite disappointing because when we got our act together and played in the groove, I would have to say that I felt some sort of blissful zen collective consciousness that I have failed to replicate to this day;

3. I have a weakness for all types of cheese and often think about becoming an artisan cheese maker;

4. I love road trips and taking off on the open road. We relocated to the country a few years ago and so driving long distances is part and parcel of our lifestyle. I used to have a penchant for older cars and owned a Spanish Olive Rover 3500 V8 for 10 years. I loved that car and still hope in vain it will be reintroduced with the same body but a not so thirsty engine;

5. I become quite engrossed in documentaries particularly those that retell a story of someone's trial, tribulation and triumph;

6. I notice, admire and respect large trees and have been known to hug them;

7. I think my husband & I knew each other in several past lives - I'm a geologist and he is a stonemason and we have started a stone business together;

8. I am just over 12 weeks pregnant after trying for nearly 4 years, and I think that maybe just maybe I can recapture that euphoric collective consciousness when I gaze upon my child for the very first time
