I hate this self-summary thing. My vital stats are above and other
than that. . . well I'm a Southern girl, born and bred, of
Scots-Irish descent. Graduated from UA-Tuscaloosa in '02, went to
LA for grad school for a MA in English and bascially got kicked out
for being a conservative Christian. Now I'm thinking about going
back for a MA in Public History with an eye toward working in a
museum.
I read everything with words, especially science fiction, fantasy
and alternate history. I write fantasy (hopefully as a pro
someday). I'm a big history buff. I've done a lot of work on my
family's genealogy and love that kind of puzzle. I do academic-type
research for the fun of it.
I have a big extended family and am very close to them. My parents
live on a small horse farm with chickens and goats and lots of dogs
and cats where I love to spend time. I love the outdoors, but not
in an overly athletic way. I just like to travel and absorb the
beauty. Nothing beats the mountains in the fall, or the beach at
night.

My Notes edit
My self-summary
What I'm doing with my life
I'm working in retail right now, since I figured it was a good way
to make myself employable anywhere, but I'm going back to school
part-time in January. I'm trying to get back into writing, which I
haven't done much of for a few years. (My first attempt at grad
school really took a lot out of me and I've been recovering for
awhile.)
I'm really good at
Just about anything artistic I've ever tried. Music especially runs
in my family. School. Not politics. Research. Writing fiction.
Decorating my house. Using maps (hey it's a skill! :) Building a
fire outdoors. Baking really horrible-for-you desserts.
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
My intensity. I've been told I'm intimidating, but really I'm very
shy. As for looks, probably my eyes and hair, and to be brutally
honest--my chest. I'm well-endowed. It's just genetics, and I don't
love it.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: That's pretty impossible to pick a favorite. I loved the
Chronicles of Narnia as a kid. (C.S. Lewis was a genius.) Robin
McKinley is my favorite fantasy author. Mary Gentle's "Secret
History of Burgundy" is the most brilliant alternate history ever
written. My list goes on and on.
Movies: Loved Lord of the Rings. 1776 and The Scarlet Pimpernel were my favorites as a kid. I enjoy the Harry Potter movies. I'm looking forward to the next Narnia movie. I have an odd affection for Sliding Doors, and Silence of the Lambs blew my mind when it first came out, because it was the first "grown-up" movie I'd ever seen.
Music: It's like books, to hard to pick a list. Loreena McKennitt, Mozart, Traditional Celtic, Switchfoot, Nickelback, Soundtracks, etc etc.
Food: I LOVE Greek and Lebanese food. And Chinese. And Italian. Otherwise I'm pretty traditional meat-and-potatoes.

The six things I could never do without
My cats, my books, my family, private time, daily beauty (the
outdoors, art, music, etc), my laptop
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Politics, right now. My long-term plans. Making myself a better
person.
On a typical Friday night I am
Reading a book, watching TV, headed home to the farm, it depends.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
I can't decide whether I like the premature silver streaks in my
hair or not.
You should message me if
You're looking for an intellectually stimulating relationship with
someone who can sometimes be a challenge.
Note: You should NOT message me if you have a problem with Christians and/or conservatives. If you want a lively debate, I'm all for it. If you want to tell me how stupid or evil I am---been there, heard that, told an entire English Department where they could stuff it.
