Tagged...

Really, I was sitting around innocently, and mmegaera snuck up on me.

The rules:
a. Link to the person who tagged you. mmegaera
b. Post the rules on your blog. Posted
c. Write six random things about yourself.

1. I am wearing a shirt with a picture of a Venetian gondolier on it, and the words The Gondoliers 2002. This is from a Savoy Society production.
   
   
2. my first fandom was The Man from U.N.C.L.E., except I didn't know what a fandom was in those days. I just.. took a show, roped in some friends, and created a fandom around it. There were toys!
   
   
3. I plan to walk the length of Hadrian's Wall this year. Which means looking it uP

   Hadrian's Wall was 80 Roman miles (73.5 English miles or 117 kilometres) long.

   . Doesn't sound long, does it? Piece o' cake, normally. But I've never walked after having a broken ankle before. I wonder how long it will take. If I go the distance soon enough, I might add in Offa's Dyke (13 miles).
   
   
4. I once lived for almost a year in Crosby Hall, the palace that once belonged to Richard III, when he was still Duke of Gloucester. The dining room had boars embossed in the massive fireplace. When I lived there, it was a residence for overseas students. Now I see it's a private residence. Someone is lucky.
   
   
5. My master's thesis was called, "Genoese Involvement in the First Crusade: A Study of Caffaro da Caschifellone's De liberatione civitatis orientum". I found it fascinating.

d. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.

I'm not sure I have the nerve! But what the heck, here goes, and I hope they forgive me: gryphons_lair, jkluge, dewline, nina_ds, angevin2 and jackarono.

e. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment at their blog.

Right.

f. Let your tagger know when your entry is up.

Right.
