I am a good listener, patient, kind, and occasionally feisty.
My Self-Summary
Not from L.A., more somewhat 'lala'. Interested in almost anything
sci-fi/
fantasy, especially
Mercedes
Lackey for brightness,
Neil Gaiman for brooding. I'm a
geek, and geek friendly, but don't load me up with programming
language or quantum physics. Plays well with others and could do
better if applies herself (quoting an ancient school report here) I
admire and am in awe at the best that religion provides, and am
appalled and disgusted at religion at it's worst. I support
Monty Python
' s Graham Chapman view that fanaticism of any form is ugly, but
especially ill- thought or uncharitable fanaticism.
What I’m doing with my life
Enjoying my wii - nintendo rocks!!! Lab technician for private
veterinary product firm - no we don't test on animals - just have
one proven, v. safe product. Have recently discovered LibraryThing
- very handy for those with many groaning bookshelves.
I’m really good at
Figuring people out - and not telling them ;) Multitasking
The first things people usually notice about me
Red hair, constantly has a book at hand, oddly quiet, but friendly,
and when I let loose - opinionated.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
A)Lots!!! see above B) anything based off a quality comic, or good
job done of sci/fi or fantasy writing, also lightweight
arthouse/international i.e. NOT depressing. Can recommend 'Black
Sheep' and 'The Matador'. C) happy to go along with anything with
more than 5 lyrics, so long as 'bitch', 'ho', '(whatever someones
going to call their genitals)', or repetative plunky plunking are
not part of that list. D) again, my 'ick' list is way shorter. I
like spice, but pure chilli heat aint for me, nor are brussel
sprouts, and broad beans. No endangered animals, either. I love
hearing descriptions of 'perfect' meals - I generally agree.
The six things I could never do without
books, family, friends, my sanity - its been close at times tho :),
apples - really!!!, natural green in my landscape.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
improving the world, and how people could be nicer if they would
only just.... My follow through is just sad tho
On a typical Friday night I am
Depends... 1/4 fridays I host my friends for a 'geek' night other
times I am either zapped with 'fridayitis' and have sagged onto the
couch with a wine, cheese& crackers and a book,or I find
something online that grabs my interest.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Darn! I'm pretty private. Erm - it's really fun to flirt! and
(ahem) I enjoy it. Oh bugger, not going to work here, you'll just
have to get to know me to find out what I would have
written...
maybe...
nah.
You should message me if
You could stand inane conversation at first, and are more
interested in friendship as I'm in a 'lookee, no touchee others'
relationship. You have any informed opinions on how a book/comic
was written, movie was made, or species of animal was saved. By
'informed' I mean, 'some knowledge of', not necessarily have been
part of the creation team. I'm just trying to avoid the ' I've
heard such-and-such is crap & so I beleive what I've been told'
schtick. You think late30s, chubby red-heads are hot.
