This is making the rounds on facebook, at least people in my network, so I thought I would give it a go.  Here are the “official” facebook rules.

RULE: Once you’ve been tagged you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you so they will get your answers. If I tagged you it’s because I want to know more about you, if you don’t want to play along, it’s ok too. To do this, go to “Notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people(in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)

Twenty-five random things:

1. I have 4 tattoo’s and one of them is a sleeve.
2. I have been telecommuting to work for 2 years now.
3. I ran a marathon from start to finish — without walking once.
