I've been tagged too...

OK OK, I'm probably one of the last to do this although I was tagged a week ago...I have not had a chance to blog nor have I felt the inclination to blog. But I think I'm back...I think.

Anyway, YarravillePaul tagged me first, and then Soul Seared Dreamer tagged me, so I'm getting the hint boys! I'm supposed to expose 8 things about myself that no-one else knows...so, here goes...

Creative
1. I learned violin for 8 yrs, starting when I was 8.
2. I have done the flowers (bouquets, table arrangements and the church flowers) for 10 weddings (all friends). I have been the photographer for 2 of those weddings. In the 2 weddings where I was both florist and photographer, I was also a Groomsman. Talk about multi-tasking!
Employment
3. My ultimate career goal when I was a kid was to be a Bank Teller! (been there, did that, never want to do it again)
4. I've been working for my employer 20 yrs this month. (makes me feel sooooo old and boring)
History
5. My parents owned a jewellery store, specialising in opals and coloured gems, for 5 years from when I was 10 yrs old. (hence, my fondness for jewellery and the British Crown Jewels)
6. My favourite subject at school was music, but my best subject was Mathematics
Sexuality
7. I've never had sex with a female (which, combined with the fact previously revealed in my blog that I first had sex with a guy when I was 28, means that I was one very old virgin)
8. The only member of my family who has talked to me since I came out last year is my gay brother Mark (in London)

I tagged you too, last saturday but you were occupied as we all could read in the post before this one.

meme's give a whole different view on people life especially the personal ones.

I feel sorry for you that of your whole family only your [gay] brother will talk to you. BTW is he just as witty and cute as you are?? [pix please] ;o)

20 years at work... wow! You must have started when you were still in nappies!

Sorry to hear about number 8 - I just sort of assumed things had gone alright with your family as your brother had been there before you. :(

I didn't know you have only been out to your family for a year!! Do you think the family will come around?

And congratulations on the big weekend...sounds like you had a great time... lol

Hey Monty, really sorry your family aren't talking to you - I guess I should be happy mine are.

My parents are 80 & 77 and I wondered if I should bother telling them or not. They're handling it in their own Catholic way (but have maybe written me out of the will)!
