Karen Trivia
Friday, 14 November, 2003
- My hair is about 80 cm long;
- As I'm only 1.62 m tall, half my height is hair;
- My typing speed is 106 words per minute;
- I'm allergic to cats (if they scratch me, I come up with huge welts). I think I might be allergic to mosquito bites too;
- I got a D for my AMEB 6th grade piano exam (I skipped 5th);
- For kindergarten, I went to a bilingual school where teachers would speak to us in French and English. Because this was in Canada, I went to kindergarten twice—K1 and K2;
- I still have my Canadian accent, even though it's been 19 years since I've lived there;
- I was born three weeks late;
- When we moved to Sydney, I lost my 6th birthday over the international dateline;
- I've never been camping before. And I've never been to beach mission;
- I am short two teeth on the bottom row of my mouth but not because they fell out—they just never grew;
- I eat my toast upside-down because I like tasting the butter;
- I've never broken a bone.

I’m missing some back teeth too.
Listening to the dentist the other week, surveying my mouth:
“Molars (tooth code): unerupted… partially erupted… unerupted…”
Apparently, it’s quite common, and they might erupt someday.
Maybe you should re-celebrate your sixth birthday. Good excuse for a party, anyway!
Yeah ... thats a great idea… good excuse to a party… (and to be 6 again
)
Friday afternoon - can’t resist celebrating finishing wretched stats report:
My hair is about 15cm and wavy - and about 20% grey (but I dye it)
I’m 1.85cm (that’s 6’1’‘)
My typing speed is approximately 85wpm
I’m not allergic to anything
I got a B for my 8th grade piano exam
For kindergarten, I went to school in the US. I did 1&1/3 years of first grade because we moved to Australia.
I was born in Johannesburg and induced because my grandmother was going back to Australia.
I’ve been to beach mission 5 times (Byron Bay)
I only have 2 wisdom teeth
I can make my tongue look like a pounding heart
I’ve broken my leg when I was 2 and both my arms when I was 23.
Your hair is quite long; so pretty! :D
I’ve never camped or gone on beach mission either, but I’ve been talked into a canoeing adventure in a couple of weeks… *whimper*
I’ve also never broken a bone. Do you think that’s related to a lack of camping? I’m not sure; my mother’s always been a calcium nut.
You have a Canadian accent?
...
Seems weird, but I shouldn’t assume things like that, based on your blog. It just means you’ll talk like my grandma!
H.
Haydn, you have a strange idea of “incriminating”!
Well there is a lot of personal information made public on this website.
If I wanted to I’m sure I could do something bad with all that information, eg .birthdate, just need to know where you live, your phone number, isn’t that all that is needed to identify you to the telephone company to get a disconnection of service?
Assuming you don’t have a private number - I guess I could cause trouble, but then again - anyone can do something bad, its all too simple these days.
