Breakfast, growing up if I wanted breakfast I had to cook it myself, not because of a bad childhood or anything like that. One day my mom said "if you want waffles make 'em yourself or have some cereal" while handing me a cookbook opened to a waffle recipe.

My hair, when it is dry it comes down to my shoulders. I keep it in a ponytail most of the time. When I am at the beach my hair isn't quite as noticable as my hilarious farmer's tan. I frequently appear to be lost in thought, while this is true; it is worth noting that I am also frequently lost in the physical sense, since I have a terrible sense of direction.

I love scif-fi. David Weber, John Ringo, and David Eddings are my favorite authors. I tend to stick with light books. If I was forced to choose the 3 I like best they would be: Armor by John Steakley, The Adventures of the Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison, and The Artifact by W. Michael Gear. George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire was a great series up until Feast of Crows. I carry a copy of the Tao almost everywhere I go.

I am fairly open about music, except I cannot stand tejano and rap. Swing, soft rock, and classical are my three favorite types. I frequently enjoy Willie Nelson, Celtic Women, Ben Folds, Frank Sinatra, and Mingo Fishtrap.

My favorite flicks are Big Trouble in Little China, Road to Perdition, The Count of Monte Cristo (I really need to read that), Army of Darkness, Caveman, A Christmas Story, Conan, When Harry Met Sally, Hudson Hawk, and Better Off Dead.

I will eat just about anything except haggis, sushi (yes I know), menudo, and rocky mountain oysters. Lasagna is one of my favorite foods.

tobacco, Chopin, cheese, MY Blanket, a cast iron skillet, and books.

vertical farms and my morals. I recently had an unpleasant epiphany and realized that I have been lying to myself for a long time. I am currently having to rebuild the basis for my morals. I spend quite a bit of time thinking about vertical farms, because well I think they're cool, not practical (yet) but still cool.

watching TV (probably Burn Notice or Family Guy, but possibly Firefly or Farscape), cooking and trying not to think about all the homework I will be doing on Saturday and Sunday.

You are bored and have a particular subject in mind you wish to discuss.

You have a recipe that you think I will get a kick out of (hint:cheesecake, sweet potato waffles, no dressing fruit salad).
