I've been tagged (subtley different to being tangoed I'm reliably informed) by the talented

These are apparently the rules:
Rules
-Post these rules.
-Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
-At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
-No tag-backs

Although I myself will be breaking number 3.

1. I complain about it regularly and always mention it when I do one of these kind of memes but it's genuinely annoying to me. I can think of no worse sound than that of a pencil on paper, it goes through me in the same way that most people suffer when nails are scraped down blackboards.
2. As a direct result of no.1 the vast majority of my artistic experience is in ballpoint pen. It was only when I discovered mechanical pencils with their more consistant density (no sudden hard scraping crystals of graphite) and constantly sharp nibs did I start using pencil.
3. Despite being blessed with a relatively quick wit and articulate mind I am possibly one of the most socially inept human beings alive.
4. I'm a huge film fan. My DVD collection is now officially scary in size and I'm very quickly running out of room.
5. Sadly the above mentioned DVD collection features no quality control. Street Fighter, Catwoman and Batman & Robin - I possess all of these and more.
6. As seems traditional for an artist (and I use the term loosely) I am not overly fond of my own work.
7. I have a mild addiction to Ginger Beer (for those poor souls who aren't aware of ginger beer, it's a soft drink and not a beer as the name suggests) - but only the good stuff that burns your throat on the way down.
8. As a result of late nights (I can't sleep before between 12 and 1am as a general rule) and early mornings I live in an almost constant state of tiredness during the day. At night I'm wide awake and full of energy.

Phew, all done. I'm a remarkably tedious human being and finding 8 things was really quite difficult. Thankfully there was at least no stipulation to be interesting.

I Tag:
The eight people who can think of 8 things to say about themselves and feel the need to write a journal.
