7 random things meme

I know I'm supposed to tag 7 people to do this meme but as usual I'm so far behind everyone I'd struggle to find 7 people to tag who haven't already done it, so, if you read this and want to do it the instructions are as follows.
"Each person tagged gives 7 random facts about themselves. Those tagged need to write in their blogs the 7 facts, as well as the rules of the game. You need to tag seven others and list their names on your blog.You have to leave those you plan on tagging a note in their comments so they know that they have been tagged and to read your blog." If you decide you really wish I'd tagged you just leave a comment and I'll edit this post to link to you!
