I'm a geek. I just don't think there is anyway to get around that. When I was 10, I was obsessed with the X-Men and collected comic books. The only books I read were sci-fi or fantasy. When I was in high school, I was that girl that skipped lunch every day to read in the library, got disgustingly good grades without trying and was always the teacher's pet. I was extremely shy and meek and my high school experience might had been pretty terrible, but I also had purple hair, a large variety of facial piercings and wore very thick eyeliner, so my small-town classmates weren't entirely sure what to make of me.
As I've gotten older, I have yet to become cooler. I have less piercings now, so the geekiness is probably much more obvious. I play World of Warcraft sometimes, adore anything by Terry Pratchett and I named my daughter after one of the X-Men and my first roleplaying character.
I am a compulsive crafter and have dabbled in almost everything - knitting, spinning, crochet, sewing... I want to learn so much more, but as it is, I am terrible about starting what I finish.
I love all animals, particularly cats, of which I own three. If it were up to me, we would own a small zoo. I just can't say no to animals.

At the moment, my life is terribly boring. I moved from the States with my daughter to live with my Norwegian husband, so I'm really working on learning Norwegian. Okay, sort of working. Hoping that the bulk will be done by osmosis.

I'm quite good at most things involving yarn - knitting, crochet, and spinning. I keep trying to tell my husband that we would be SAVING money if we bought several sheep and alpacas, but he really isn't buying it.

I'm a very restless, random person. I fidget a lot and jump from one topic to the next. People are always asking, "What made you think of THAT?"

My favorite books are Saving Fish From Drowning, The God of Animals, Like The Red Panda, Good Omens, Ordinary People, Neverwhere, She's Come Undone, the Wolfwalker series by Tara K. Harper... as a general rule, if it's depressing, or fantasy, I'll love it.

I don't really watch a lot of movies, but I've liked The Hours, Indiana Jones (all of them), Star Wars (old ones), Moulin Rouge, The Truth About Cats and Dogs and Mystery Men.

I listen to Tori Amos, Rilo Kiley, Fleetwood Mac, Rob Zombie, Patty Griffin, Sarah Mclachlan, Indigo Girls, Tegan and Sara, Annie Lennox, The Killers, Counting Crows...

Hmm...

Friday nights are our movie nights. Everyone puts on pajamas, I usually bake something and my daughter picks out a movie for all of us to watch. I'm a party animal.

I have lupus and chronic fatigue syndrome.

If you're reading this, you should message me. Seriously. Don't be a coward and go on to something else. I mean, I do it too, but I'm SHY, so it's okay.
