8 Things
Chef Jules of Gourmet A Go-Go has tagged me! Following my Eight Things, you’ll see if I’ve tagged you!
Rules: Each person posts the rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people then visits those peoples sites and comments letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do.
My Eight Things:
1. I ran as a Green Party candidate in the 1990 provincial election in Ontario. I got a whopping total of 454 votes. The irony? That was the only year that I didn’t work for the NDP and that was the year that Bob Rae was elected Premier.
2. My friends describe me as an introvert with moments of insanity. Meaning that I can put on an extraverted persona when I’m with a bunch of people I don’t know and no one would ever realize that I’m really an introvert. Except for my friends, who then think I’ve just gone insane. Or I guess I should say, more insane.
3. I love the colour orange.
4. Both of my parents were actors. I rebelled by going into veterinary medicine. But now I’m a writer and an aspiring filmmaker, so I guess my rebellion didn’t last.
5. I watch a ridiculous number of makeover shows, both home makeovers and people makeovers. But I would hate having someone try to make me over. Which leads me to…
6. My natural hair colour is dark brown with more than a smattering of grey. It used to have auburn highlights before I started going grey in my early twenties. I currently colour it black with blue and raspberry highlights and one blonde streak in the front. Plus I dress too young for my age. Fortunately, no one can guess my real age so hopefully no one will call “What Not To Wear” on me.
7. I love to read. I’m not too picky about genre. Some favourite authors include: Jane Austen, Philip K. Dick, Jack Finney, Dick Francis, Stephen King, Madeleine L’Engle, George Orwell, Minette Walters and John Wyndham.
8. I’m currently writing a feature length screenplay. It’s a psychological drama about a vet student with a Superman fixation and a smattering of dysfunctional behaviour (not at all autobiographical, oh no!). My dream actress to play the lead is Maggie Gyllenhaal.
