Six Random Facts meme

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.

And the explanation has been included, but I'm not gunna tag anyone. Do it if you feel moved to. It was just luck that I spotted I'd been tagged. So, without further ado...

Fact 3 - I had a pet sheep called "Einstein"

Fact 2 - Given that Lynn talked about her phobia, I thought I'd bring up something similarly odd and personal that may be abused by the thoughtless. I don't really have a touch taboo. If I'm treated with care and respect, no part of my body is out of bounds, even to virtual strangers - except for a hand-sized area in the centre of my chest between my nipples. Over my heart, on my upper chest, those are fine, touch away. Chest to chest hugs and the like are fine. Having someone put their hand on my middle chest uninvited, when they know about this, is a huge and almost unforgivable violation.

Fact 6 - I like saying "Tharwa." I deliberately pronounce it in a strange way because I like the way it makes my face feel when I do.

Fact 4 - Since becoming ill in April, I have not written or rewritten, a single story.

Fact 1 - My favourite book of all time is The Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem

Fact 5 - I love easily, I fall in love fairly easily (though rarely really deeply), and I've yet to stop loving anyone, no matter how horrible they've been to me.

re Fact 6: I flinch when I say "Tharwa", some nasty hills out that way...

Fact 5. Ahem. What about a certain Mr JS?
Weirdest conversation had at a NYE party this year involved talking about SF conventions with someone from choir, and then them out of the blue asking me (with some trepidation) if I knew a JS. Yes unfortunately, I replied. Said choir person looked very relieved, and somewhat more inclined to be part of fannish stuff now. Apparently he had been quite put off a few years ago, and was pleased to find that if he came along to something he was more likely to meet people like me.

JS? Oh you mean Lameo (http://dalekboy.livejournal.com/2006/09/18/)?

Double check the wording on 5. I don't stop loving someone. As in, if I have started, my feeling don't really change. I may not want anything to do with them, may not wish to be around them, but I don't stop loving them.

The closest Lameo ever came to being loved by me was... Have you ever seen Blue Velvet? Where the guy talks about sending a love letter? And a love letter in this case, is a bullet straight to the heart?

Well, he'd almost get a love letter like that one... except I wouldn't waste the bullet.

Yep, that'd be him.

For a second there I thought I was the JS being referred to.

Once upon a time I would have been, and probably still am in some circles...

Well, I can't speak for your past, but the guy you are now is friendly, generous, and not a bad bloke. You're not perfect, but I don't know anyone who is. Speaking personally, making the time for you doesn't feel like an imposition, whereas it can for some.

Making time for Lameo, even when it was to tell him that I hated him... I got less joy from the time spent with him than I do cleaning toilets.

Thank you, that means a lot to me.
