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.
Random fact number 1: I like visible produce from the garden, even if I don't always want to eat it (though I usually do).
So, whether picking peas and beans, digging up sunchokes or harvesting berries, it's all good. We had a large crop of garlic this year, and I've been braiding them together into 'Allo 'Allo-type French Peasant/Garlic Seller strings. It's a very peaceful task, best accompanied by loud blues music and the late morning sunlight filtering into the kitchen. So now there are ten braids of garlic hanging in the sunroom. Ten braids of garlic! Ahahaha! *lightning crash*
Random fact number 2: In case anyone's tuning in late, I majored in cultural studies (that's the one that's all Derrida/Foucault/Harraway/Deleuze&Guattari YEY!), and wrote my honours thesis on the discourses surrounding werewolves in contemporary fiction.
Fun times :). This means I will quite happily burble on about fanfiction, television shows and adverts as if they (gasp) have deeper meanings.
Random fact number 3: I'm a night owl.
Notwithstanding the years I was a rower (I *don't* miss the 4:45am starts!), or when I had a paper run.
Random fact number 4: (probably in conjunction with #3) A Philips-head screwdriver? Is totally my friend of choice when search the house for evil monsters in the wee hours.
Shut up! You know you heard something, too!
Random fact number 5: Clutter, ordered or dis-, is the name of the game.
I make notes, write lists, print things out... I'm pretty sure there's a desk in here, somewhere. But I know where everything is. (Except when I don't)
Random fact number 6: I write, mainly short stories, mainly fantasy with the odd science fiction piece thrown in. In three weeks' time I'll be in Brisbane at Clarion South (wheeee!); I'll be blogging that experience over atclarionfishy, in a vague attempt to keep Clarion and fandom/icons/random squee separate.
Random not-really-a-fact number 7: On second thought, let's not stay at six. It is a silly number.
Tagging? Meh. Oh, all right...

and since I added another number, Rach (if you figure out an lj-name, this could be your first post! *tempts*)
Plus anyone else who wants to do it, of course.
