Lemminglike, I post

Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included. (I was tagged by [livejournal.com profile] flos_campi...)

1. If I were a boy, I'd have been named Eliot Porter after my dad's favorite photographer. I think being born female saved me many beatings from my peers as a child.
2. As many of you know (it didn't say the facts had to be unknown, did it?) I spent two years of my childhood in Tanzania...
3. ...and as a result, contracted malaria. No relapses, though, so I'm officially declared cured after 12 years had passed.
4. A Romany (Gypsy) organization in Spain downloaded an article I'd posted to Usenet in 1995 or 1996, translated it into Spanish, and ran it in I Tchatchipen, a journal they publish (scroll to #13 - " Vestigios de la historia de una cultura no literaria, por Stephanie G. Folse"). And told me after they'd done so - I wish I'd thought to ask for a copy of the journal.
5. I have a small scar on one of my feet from when I was two and riding in a child seat on the back of my mother's bicycle. I stuck my foot in the spokes, which caused her to wipe out and caused much pain to me. Which I don't remember.
6. I have a big bump on the second toe of my right foot, caused by my one and only sports injury, a broken toe from karate. I broke my toe on my sensei. :) You know when you're doing a front snap kick and they say to pull your toes back? They mean it.


Hey! You! Yeah, you six people! You're tagged! Maybe! If you want!

Are you still sick, or back at work now?

Yes.


At work, mostly due to dead boredom at home. :)
