The six by six...

[kellifer]

Tagged by 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.

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.

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.

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....)

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. :)

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.

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*

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!:)

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*
