I got tagged by and therefore am required by law to participate in this meme.

*****

1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named

My Info:

1. I have anosmia. Anosmia is to the sense of smell what deafness is to hearing. In other words, I have almost no sense of smell. I never did, so I don't miss it.

2. My name is Kim and my initials are KYM. I use KYM as my work E-mail address. This led my boss to correct someone on a CC of a letter sent to the entire office. He told them that I had had my name changed.

3. I have experienced amnesia. I once woke up after a nap not knowing who I was. I had no memories at all. In less than an hour my memory started coming back, but still, it was a frightening experience.

4. I can bend my arms and fingers in ways that few people can. My fingers bend back, My arms twist, I can cross my elbows behind my back, and so on. However, I can't touch my toes to save my life.

5. I've been writing fan fiction as long as I can remember. Literally. I can recall a story I wrote for class when I was in the first grade. I also got an A in an independent study writing class for a He-Man story.

6. I seem to have a thing for weird, masked or faceless characters. Black Mage, Orko, Vivi Orunitia, Hexadecimal, Brak. I have no explanation for this.

7. For two years in middle school I was in both Discovery (class for gifted children) and Special Ed (because one of my teachers hated me and branded me "disturbed") at the same time. I didn't care; Special Ed was a study hall as far as I was concerned.

8. I can speak and read Spanish passably well. It helps me get along every so often.

9. People often ask me where I'm from based on my accent. I always make them guess. People have guessed all over the US, plus Australia and England. The answer? I was born in DeKalb general, a hospital right here in Atlanta. I've picked up speech mannerisms from many sources, resulting in an unplaceable accent.

Since it's April Fool's Day, one of the above "facts" is false. Can you guess which one?

And now, I tag...

Um, I don't really know more people I want to tag. If you want to do this, consider yourself tagged.

Oh, and while I'm at it, my 10 Free Sketches" meme thing is still open. If you want to claim one, feel free.

I'm thinking of opening up an art exchange thing for those who don't want to commit to doing 10 sketch requests. Any interest?
