Inside the Ren Center and Random Facts Meme

The inside of the Renaissance Center is almost as impressive and beautiful as the outside, but more difficult to capture in the eye of a camera. I had to get a special permit to take pictures inside and still got hassled by security very meanly several times. I guess they thought I was a terrorist looking for structural ways to destroy the Ren Center, but I wasn't. I just thought it was pretty and wanted to take pictures. They wouldn't let me use a tripod so I had to shoot at a high ISO!

I am having trouble with people saying the cannot see my pictures (although they are visible to me on two browsers). If you cannot see the pictures and still would like to, click here for the first, here for the second, and here for the third.

OK, I got tagged by Marie at Montpellier Daily Photo to do the 8 random facts meme that's been going around. (I think I was tagged earlier on another blog, but I can find eight other facts). Thanks, Marie, for thinking of me. I think. LOL! :-D

These are the rules.

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.

2. List eight (8) random facts about yourself.

3. Tag eight people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).

4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blog.


Here's 8 Random Facts about me:

1)Like Craig at North Bay Daily Photo, I don't like to follow rules. This has been both a curse and a blessing throughout my life.

2)I hate to procrastinate but do it anyway all the time. Grrrr!

3)I like cool weather better than hot weather. When other people are complaining about the cold wind, I find it delightfully brisk and exciting. Invigorating!

4)I like liver, spinach and Brussels sprouts. I dislike watermelon, cucumbers and hot dogs. I like whole grain breads etc and have since I was a child. I dislike many white breads and always have. Even as a kid, I liked the crust on bread. I liked skin on my farina and pudding. I hate the strings in string beans (which you can hardly find anywhere any more, thank goodness) and celery.

5)I like being out in the woods. Even on a yucky day.

6)I kind of like writing about scary upsetting depressing violent things, but I hate seeing it. On TV, in the movies or in real life, I don't want to see it.

7)Our TV is in the garage. Buried and not plugged in. We don't watch TV. I miss all the allusions to various TV programs.

8)Like Marie over at Montpellier, I love art, I'd like to live in the mountains or countryside, and I love to travel.

9)I like to break the rules sometimes, did I mention that already? So I'm not tagging anyone specifically either (like Craig over at NorthBay). If YOU have not yet done this, or if you can think of eight more random things you are willing to share, please do it and let me know.
