I've been tagged by Nancy, so here we go.
The rules: You must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name. Each fact must begin with that letter. If you don't have a middle name, just use your maiden name. After you've been tagged, you need to update your blog with your middle name and answers. At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name.
My middle name is Osborne.
O - Optimist. I'm an eternal optimist in that I tend to believe the best of people until proven otherwise, and that things usually turn out for the best.
S - Swords. I may have one or two knocking around the house ... nuff said!
B - Beer. My tipple of choice, with a nice hoppy bitter being preferred although I like a chilled weisse bier on a hot day.
O - Otway. I've seen John Otway play live at least once a year for the last twenty years or so.
R - Role player. I'm a role player of the old school and I still have a soft spot for Tunnels and Trolls which was the first rpg I played, back in the late 70s.
N - Nintendo. Most of my favourite games all seem to be on Nintendo consoles - Animal Crossing, Zelda, Super Mario and so on.
E - Earl Grey. I start the day with a cup of Earl Grey tea.
I think most of my regular readers have done this one already, but if you want to have a go then feel free!

You know (or maybe you don't) we're not gamers. Oh sure, I am addicted to DTD and, it appears, so is Maria. But we don't have a games console and we aren't gamers.
Except, after I broke my foot and Maria banned me from playing football ever again, we had a discussion about buying a games console. Something to fill my down-time.
At first we discussed a Wii. It seems like a "more active" console. But the more we talked about what we'd like to play on a console, the more we realised that the one game we'd really like to play, the one game we both adored was "Animal Crossing". We'd never played it, never seen it but the enthusiasm you have shown for the game convinced us that this was what we wanted to play.
Thinking back - I loved Zelda. I used to play it on my children's console, the original NES. Oo and the first Mario game!
The X-Box was the way to go. Except, the future is blue, or more specifically Blue-Ray. A PS3 costs the same as a Blue-Ray player. It plays Blue-Ray discs, it is a game console. If we invest in a games console it looks like it will be a PS3.
Please tell us what to play. You are our Sensi. Obi-Wan-Neil.
Ha, Will, I'm still spinning between Nintendo (because of Animal Crossing - same reason, Neil's influence!) and Wii (same reason) and PS2 (Helly's preference) for Katamari Damacy, which is AWESOME. I have a tentative date to play on a friend's Wii (that sounds . . . bad . . .) this week, and maybe it will help me make up my mind.
Earl Grey is my favorite.
