Revamp! I am a geek girl extraordinaire who has finally added d&d to her list of geek attributes. I love comic books and sci fi (films or books or television). I am addicted to the written word. Seriously, I think i would have withdrawal symptoms if I wasn't able to read. I'll read anything if what I want isn't handy. And yes, that once included the encyclopedia. I got halfway through A before my ride came and picked me up. I am not looking for romance on the interwebs, I just like finding cool people to talk to who I might have something in common with. Or who can recommend books to me, or music, or movies, or....I however have very limited internet at the moment, so my ability to respond online is...irregular. So if I message you and you respond and then I don't respond for a couple weeks, it's the irregular internet. It's awesome having an excuse that's true!

I've got a job with a soul stealing corporation, but hey, at least the bills are paid. Knock on wood I'll be going back to school winter quarter. 15 credits because I have NO instinct for self preservation. I'm still oscillating about which classes I'll take, it has to be something the tuition reimbursement program through the soul stealing corporation will cover. So yay Foreign Languages AA.
Aside from work and school, I am happily married and theoretically nonmonogamous. Theoretically because in all fairness I don't really have more time to offer to somebody romantically. I'm blessed to have understanding friends, but I wouldn't want to inflict my schedule on someone who wanted more from me.

Reading, playing with animals, playing with children, understanding, singing (I'm iffy on that, but my husband says I am), making new friends, laughing, making fun of myself and everyone around me, making *other* people laugh, over scheduling myself

Well...people for some reason think I look angelic at first meeting. Then they learn better ;). They probably notice my smile or my boobs first, depending on the person.

This list is too immense, but I'll try. Authors (in no particular order): Eric Flint, John Ringo, Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, Michael Z. Williamson, Andre Norton, Dorothy L. Sayers, Terry Pratchett, Lewis Carroll, Ellis Peters, Pamela F. Service, Mercedes Lackey, Willo Davis Roberts, S.M. Stirling, Louis L'amour, David Drake, David Weber, Jane Austen, Nora Roberts, Robert Goss, Poul Anderson, Patricia C. Wrede, Joan Aiken, Agatha Christie, Grace Livingston Hill, Linda Lael Miller,Esther Friesner, Charles de Lint, Kage Baker, Shakespeare, Susan Cooper, Diana Wynne Jones, Carrie Vaugh, Jim Butcher, Beth Hilgartner

Expansion! Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising sequence is one of the best series ever written. If you haven't read it, go to your library and get it. I know it sounds cheesy but this series shaped me.
Diana Wynne Jones seems to be most popular for her Chrestomanci novels (well, that and Howl's Moving Castle), but I highly recommend A Tale of Time City as it is my favourite of all her wonderful books.
S.M. Stirling likes to play with history. The Sky People and The Peshawar Lancers are, in my humble opinion, his 2 best.
Elizabeth Ann Scarborough is known for cowriting with Anne McCaffrey, but her solo books are so much better! (which is saying something) If you can find the books, I recommend you read The Songkiller Saga. Highly. Like...NOW. Go ahead, I can wait.
Pamela F Service wrote Weirdos of the Universe, Unite!, and Being of Two Minds, 2 of my favourite books of all time.
Willo Davis Roberts = The Girl with the Silver Eyes. Why yes, I do love children's fiction with alienated ousiders!
Louis L'amour wrote The Iron Marshal and you should go read it. And the Sackett novels. No, I don't really like Westerns, just Louis.
Patricia C Wrede wrote The Enchanted Forest Chronicles. What, a princess who is an outsider and doesn't fit in so goes to live with the dragons? Sign me up!
The Girl Who Owned a City is one of the best books of all time. I don't care what anybody says about survivalist propaganda, it's a good read.
Grace Livingston Hill wrote Christian romance, she died in 1947 so you have an idea of the era she wrote in :). I love her books unabashedly and unashamedly.
Kage Baker writes the Company novels about cyborgs who travel throug time, and their possible revolution at a shady time in the future no one has any knowledge about. What's not to like?
Carrie Vaughn writes the Kitty books. Kitty is a werewolf and a radio DJ. You really really ought to giver her a read.
All the Beth Hilgartner books I loved seem to be out of print, but...if your local library has them I highly recommend them. Any of them. There are a couple that I haven't read, but based on the quality of her other writing I can pretty much guarantee that it's worth a read.

Books

Everything.

Collapsed on the couch after work, pondering actually *doing* something and not having enough energy to turn on the tv or even make dinner. This, of course, does not mean I get to sleep early and catch up on some rest. Of course not!

I don't know if there's a category of sexual orientation (except Tyler-sexual) that really fits me, and I don't understand why there needs to be. Also, my parents don't really know anything about my personal life and feelings because I'm afraid they wouldn't talk to me anymore or let me see my siblings. My brain thinks it sees zombies.

You're interesting, or funny, or just cool. I like open minded people and GEEKS. Also, don't try converting me. it won't work. I'm also not that interested in romance over the internet. Oh, and if you want to suggest authors or books, please do! Do not message me if you take yourself seriously. Oh, and I'm not really all that interested in reading your erotica, or cybering or any of that stuff.
