Tagged by [livejournal.com profile] dark3princess. Post 6 very random facts about yourself then you tag 6 people on your friend list to do the same.

1. I'm right-handed but because I have a dodgy shoulder I use my left for my mouse and people who see me do it say, "Oooh, I didn't know you were left handed."

2. I'm not a sun-bronzed Aussie. I'm Irish winter pale. Like, when people see me in the daylight they feel it necessary to say, "Wow, you are really pale."

3. I've never actually had a pet. I wish some day to rectify this.

4. I've never been out of Australia. I wish some day to rectify this.

5. My favourite ever book, the one I re-read once a year is The Stand. (yeah, I can here you all defriending me from here... heh) I will always love Stephen King, no matter how many space ass-worms he writes about.

6. I have my eyebrow pierced. Yes, random strangers on the street who repeatedly ask me, it's my only piercing.

Tagging... everyone.

2. Oh, me too. I'm the sort where people think I'm always sickly.

4. Yep.

2. Snap! Pale snap!

4. Oh thank god... people look at me like I'm a weird mutant freak for never having left the country...

I'm with you on the Stephen King love. Just read The Stand for the first time at the end of last year. Awesome book. Long as hell but such a great book. Have to save, he's the king of crack!fiction.

Did you read Lisey's Story? I loved that book. So, so good. There's a story line in that particular book that, at least to me, is what John Winchester and his boys could have turned out to be if things had been just a little bit different.

Ah, reading Lisey's Story right now... must say I do the fangirly dance of glee whenever there is a new King Book... :)

1. I'm right-handed but because I have a dodgy shoulder I use my left for my mouse and people who see me do it say, "Oooh, I didn't know you were left handed."

I do exactly the same thing! Partially because I'm an accountant and I can mouse with my left and use the number pad with my right. But also because I broke my right shoulder a few years back and lost most of the use of my right arm for a while.

Drives the IT folks who try to work on my computer nuts! I get the same 'left handed' remarks.

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Hee... I do that too! Because I do a bit of coding and entry work I found it was easier because I could type with my right and mouse with my left so even after the shoulder healed I didn't bother switching back.

From: [identity profile] indian-skimmer.livejournal.com


I too did data entry, damaged bits of my hand and now type with my right hand and mouse (and can I just say how much I'm in favour of 'to mouse' as a verb) with my left.

It seems so much more logical that way.

1) I do that too! Only I don't even have a good "once had a damaged arm" excuse - it's just habit. When I was in college every person who ever sat down to borrow my computer commented "I didn't know you were left handed."

5) Space ass-worms! It's the only King book I've read, but I am all about Dreamcatcher (now I wonder how many other ass-worms he's written....)

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Oh you have to read the Stand!! I did enjoy Dreamcatcher although I made the tragic error of seeing the movie first and... yeah. Not a good idea.

From: [identity profile] abyssinia4077.livejournal.com


Ah, see, I, um, saw the movie first on purpose and...love it to pieces despite how awfully bad it is.

(my roommate at the time shared my love...she once had a friend come over to borrow some movies and they had the following conversation:
Friend: What's this one? *points to Dreamcatcher*
Roomie: Oh, it's really bad, you don't want to watch it.
Friend: Then why do you own it?
Roomie: Because it's the best movie ever!
Friend: Whaaa...?)

Ha... but the ending is completely different so I was all... wah?? Wha happened??
ext_2207: (SG1 - Daniel and the replicator)

From: [identity profile] abyssinia4077.livejournal.com


It's true. The movie ending sucks - and the dvd has an alternate ending they filmed that's 100 times worse. (If I remember right, Dudditz suddenly also turns into a big, creepy looking alien and they fight to the death with their giant stingers).

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Wait... but that's the *cinema* release I saw... is that my problem?? Argh, I hate when they do that! They did that to the also trashily bad/good butterfly effect where they had a perfectly reasonable ending in the cinema release and a completely wacky one in the director's cut and the director's cut is the only one you can get.

Bah!

From: [identity profile] abyssinia4077.livejournal.com


Um...I could be mis-remembering which is the "real" ending on the dvd and which is the "alternate" I do remember the extra ending being unfinished special effects-wise.

I also remember some ending with Dudditz wiggling his finger and this whirlpool effect coming from it and smashing the bad alien to the wall and killing him and then Dudditz slumps down and dies.

And now...I'm actually not sure which bad ending was which...guess it's time to watch again :)

1. Heh. I'm right-handed except when it comes to the 'proper' way of holding cutlery. I was told off by nagging dinnerladies, and... well, I can be very, very contrary. :)

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Ha! I think I do the same thing. I hold my fork in my right hand unless I have a knife then I have to swap it... :)

From: [identity profile] pepper-field.livejournal.com


I always hold a fork in my right hand. My justification is a) it's an archaic, now irrelevant custom, dating back to when knives were the main cutlery implement and forks were seen as new-fangled, Frenchified, highly dubious, and very possibly Satanic, and b) sod off and don't tell me how to eat.

Re: #'s 2 and 6.

You're around some very rude and nosy people. =>}

Re: #3

Pets are wonderful. This icon is my Sparkle. You may borrow her for a day or more, if you wish. =>}

Re: #4

I think there are a lot of people who've never been out of their country.

Re: # 5.

I read The Stand when it first came out and it had a profound effect on me for a long time. In fact, I think it can qualify as literature and not just "another Stephen King novel", as some might call them. He can be an EXCELLENT writer. *g*

That is all.

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Dawwww... Sparkle! That is the most awesome name for a dog! :)

And yes to King. That and Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile... all just ... get me right in the heart.

From: [identity profile] betagoddess.livejournal.com


Our Sparkle is 17 years old and she STILL sparkles. *g*

Yes again to King. =>}

Hee, I've wanted to have my eyebrow pierced for years, but I'm far too afraid of the needle o_O *is incredibly lame*

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


It does hurt but only for a second. Apparently hurts less than getting your ears done but I wouldn't know because I don't have my ears pierced... :)

1. lol.
2. I'm sorry. At least you have sunshine and the beach as an option whenever you feel like tanning;p
4. lol, wow. I didn't know you lived in Australia..I guess I should check out that link called 'User Info.' I wish I had been to Australia. My uncle lives there though;p
5. Stephen King is good, although I've never read his books, the movie renditions are good;p
Thanks for the info!:)

From: [identity profile] infinimato.livejournal.com


I've never been out of Australia. I wish some day to rectify this.

I've never been out of the US. Not even to Canadia (which is about 6 hours from where I live now) or Mexico, and I've been to San Diego (which is spitting distance from Tijuana) 4 or 5 times now.

I've always wanted to go to Oz. I've got friends in and around Melbourne, and there's a yearly conference there that my friends would love me to come speak at. Sadly, I'm not sure my health would ever stand the flight...

My favourite ever book, the one I re-read once a year is The Stand.

The Stand is, I think, the best thing he ever did. I'm currently rereading Needful Things.

& I really gotta write the other two sga/sg1/the stand fics on my plate. *sigh*
