rowanfYeah, I know - here on Lj it is 25 or more. But on Flickr it was 16 and I got tagged there first thank goodness. This is hard!!
1. I have been in every state in US except Alaska.
2. I got my first horse at age 5-1/2. Her name was Flicka and we named her foal was Sugarfoot.
3. The coolest thing I ever dug up was an effigy pipe in a Woodland period site in northern Florida. The same site yielded a copper breastplate of the hook-nosed God. But I didn't work on that directly though.
4. I'm allergic to cats and dogs and really miss being able to live with cats.
5. I've been in every continent except Asia.
6. I am ordained as priestess to two different Goddesses - Brighid (by Fellowship of Isis) and Pombagira (by American Magic Umbanda House). I have initiations in several different Wiccan and magical traditions. I am also a priestess of Dionysos.
7. My favorite music is any kind I can sing. I am mostly bored by instrumental music.
8. I read a book a day for most of my life but in the last decade I hardly read a book a month.
9. I have read science fiction most of my life as my father was First Fandom. The pinnacle of my own fandom was the year I had a manuscript in the writer's workshop, art in the artshow and one best in show at the costume contest at BayCon. No, nothing came of the manuscript.
10. I use BOINC for distributed computing on Malaria Control & Rosetta. I'm part of Team Sci-Fi.
11. I have entered 17,342 Bills worth $83,519 into http://www.wheresgeorge.com/
12. My virtual world avatars and toons have very distinct personalities. Sometimes I worry about that.
13. Kurt suggested like five things I could say about myself this morning in a phone call. But I've forgotten what they are.
14. I have six tattoos which are all very meaningful. But I wish I had known in my 20s that I would keep getting tatts my whole life and planned out my body.
15. My family had two tours in Panama when my father was in the Navy. I consider myself a child of the tropics. When I visited Hawaii I was amazed at all the plant life I recognized.
16. I love champagne but am drawn more to the dryer Bruts and Naturals than to the seemingly more popular sweeter bubblies.

Date: 2009-02-04 10:19 pm (UTC)Basically the story is that it is all the work of a convicted con artist named Simon Brodie. There may have been actual science involved in the beginning but nothing was ever peer-reviewed or given scientific scrutiny. Believe me, if someone actually *does* make knockout cats I am so there.
