I just noticed I got tagged with some kind of bloggy pass-it-on by Zhayena, and although I fear it might be a bit old (there weren’t really any apparent key stamps there, as far as I could see), here it is, seven more or less serious facts about me. I usually define myself out from some kind of popular culture, but I’ll try to keep that to a minimum…
1. I enjoy provoking my intelligent and eloquent flatmates Kalle and Håvard into verbal fights with each other, and then just listen to their fun little polemics.
2. I am still at the stage where I can eat pretty much what I like, and have a gallon of Coke to go with it, without getting even remotely fat. (I could have said “fatter” but seeing as I’m far from far to begin with, “less skinny” would probably have been better.)
3. I’ve been doing ten to fifteen push-ups twice a day for the last two or three months, and I feel like I’m already getting a better posture; I don’t stoop as much.
4. I’ve been doing this in secret.
5. I am intellectually vain beyond anything. I hate being wrong, even about the most trivial bit of trivia.
6. In the last coulpe of weeks, I’ve found that both phonology, phonetics, linguistics and poetry analysis are a hell of a lot more fun than they sound.
7. I eat hotdogs for dinner perhaps twice or thrice per week.
So. That’s it. Today’s first batch of useless trivia. Being the friendless, asocial guy that I am, I can only tag Loki and Lotta.

Who does not feel bad about being wrong?

It’s worse to be wrong when you was sure you were 120% right
Anyway, the tagging challenge went out on 27th. so it’s not late.

Seeing as I don’t do these kind of things, I won’t blog about it nor tag anyone else, but I guess I can do you the courtesy of replying here. To simplify my selection-process, I will mimick your points somewhat.
1. I enjoy provoking anyone who makes statements appearing to me as unfounded.
2. I can’t eat pretty much what I like without gaining weight, but I do it anyway.
3. The result is that my weight never seems to be constant, and I’ll usually go back and forth from rather chubby to somewhat slim during the year depending on the amount of time I have for taking walks.
4. I’m unable to do push-ups. This is not a secret. At points, I do sit-ups. This, however, is.
5. I do them rarely; not because of lazyness but due to my floor usually being too cluttered or dirty to allow for this.
6. I usually don’t mind too much being proven to be in the wrong, however, I hate being _seen_ as wrong when I know beyond doubt that I’m in the right.
7. My meals usually tend to be limited to one dinner per day, sometimes heated in the evenings, and probably repeated for another one or two days before I commence a new meal. In other words, I tend to eat the same thing for three days or so at a time.
