valarltdSo the Fourteen Random Facts About Me meme is going around.
So here you go:
1) I am a tea drinker. Constant Comment is my favorite, with Lipton Sun Tea a close second
2) The first slash story I ever read was Angelus/Xander. I knew of the existence of slash since the late 80s.
3)I've had email continuously since 1987 and a website since 1989.
4) My original college major was Aerospace Engineering. I changed to Nuclear Engineering, and then to English, when I failed Differential Equations.
5) I crochet wonderfully well, knit passably and find plastic canvas needlepoint the single-most tedious handcraft I ever tried.
6) Given a choice of movie genres, I will almost always choose the horror movie. Then the SF or fantasy. Then the musical.
7) I can't eat bell peppers.
8) The very first thing I remember being fannish about was Robin Hood. I saw the Disney version when I was five. I remember finger-puppets, and scouring the Disney magazines for new episodes. And when I was 10, I read the Pyle version through, although it was tough going.
9) I've worked as an inventory counter 4 times in the last 16 years. This last year is the longest period I've ever done it.
10) Given a choice of reading material, I will usually pick up the Urban Fantasy or Horror first, followed by a Western.
11) I have taken lessons in ballet, tap, acrobatics, square dancing, ballroom dancing, eastern dance and European folk dance.
12) Despite a year of recorder lessons, 2 years of piano, and being married to a violinist, I do not like classical music. It puts me to sleep, unless accompanied by cartoons.
13) Before my eardrums ruptured when I was 7, I'd already had 7 surgeries on them.
14) When the Robin Wood tarot deck chose me, I had no idea I was getting a deck that always told the truth.
