Eight Random Paths to Narcissim

Vijay dared me to disclose eight random facts about myself.  So here goes:

1.  I was crazy about the sitcom "Friends" eight years back, and one fine day got so disgusted with my addiction that I decided that I would never watch television ever again in my life. THAT was the last day I watched T.V.
2.  I was a high-jump champ in high school.  My best height was 1.5 meters, when I was in eighth (what's with eight anyway?) class for which I won the second prize in the school sports meet.
3.  I love swimming.  But can't crawl.  I learned breast stroke by myself, in two days (with a little help from a friend).
4.  As a teenager, I sang regularly (carnatic music) in the AIR in their youth program.  I can still hold a tune beautifully,  and pick up songs/nuances of songs, but my doom is my lack of imagination.
5.  I sang at my own wedding "oojnal" ceremony.  I sang "Janani ninnuvina" in Reethigowlai and Marukelara in Jayanthasri.  From the video of our wedding, it appears that the groom enjoyed it :)
6.  For my self-proclaimed love of chocolates, I cannot eat a plain milk or dark chocolate (as in, chocolate without fruits, nuts, caramel or krispies )
7.  My "normal" blood pressure is 90/70.
8.  My blood sugar is precariously on the lower side of normal.  Meaning, I cannot and should not skip a meal (excuses ! excuses !)

Here are my eight, of course, they need not take it up if they have other more pressing commitments :

1. Arunn at Philosophia Inconsequentia (yeah ! like he will have time in the middle of all his ubuntu-ing and nOnosciencing)
2. Terri at Terri's Turf (Even if it is not facts about you, it could be about mom, which I am sure will make us all ROFL)
3.  Gawker at A Goose Egg (After that touching post on dad, it seems a sacrilege to tag him, still..)
4. Rads at Chronicles from a caravan (I already know one fact: You love Madras the way I do !)
5. Bharath at Scribblings (when you are done writing up the latest music review, perhaps?)
6. Sujatha at Blogpourri (are you settled in your new home yet?)
7.  வெங்கட் at உள்ளும் புறமும்  (it would be interesting to read a meme in சுந்தரத் தமிழ்)
8.  Deepak at Random Expressions (can the word "random" entice you to do this meme?)

Here are the rules:

1. Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
2. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
3. Players should tag 8 other people and notify them they have been tagged.
