And you did!!

Cool, you have tattoos. I

I once considered getting one, but I chickened out:)

I like your posts!

Craig Schwarze said...

Hey, very cool.

Tattoos?!! Where and what?

Nixter said...

The first one I got is on my stomach - a chinese symbol that means 'friend'. It could mean 'special fried rice' for all I know but I hope it doesn't.
One on my lower back, it is a pattern that I liked - black and red. It doesn't mean anything I just really liked it.

What do you do at work? How did a girl give you a rainbow? I can't pronounce Worcester even with a key. And I have two tattoos too.

Ashie said...

LOL, WWF!?!

Hey, you forgot to mention that you met Ian McKellen (Gandalf from LOTR) when you worked in London. Maybe you didn't list it because some of those "down-underers" could care less about a Brit! JK ;)

Nixter said...

My official title is 'Fundraising and Communications' but I do lots of other stuff too ;) I amended the rainbow one, it didn't make sense. Anyhoo, a girl in the office gave me 'Rainbow' as a middle name ;)

Tracy said...

Wow! And we all thought Priscilla was setting the bar high with 52 things. I don't know if I could every reach 107. I am very curious about Craig's list. I'll have to go check it out.

Nixter said...

Yeah you should check Craigs out, he has also linked to several other people who have done big lists. It wasn't easy but you get on a roll. They weren't the profound things about me, just things that came to mind there and then - it was fun though!
