Update for 2012 - I find myself really bored. I know that it's said that people who are bored are boring, but I just feel like my clockwork gears are winding down and I need to have the key in my back turned a few times to get me moving again...

I want to date someone and get to know them and go through that giddy NRE and learning each other thing.

Another new thing for 2012 is my recent obsession with the newer Doctor Who stuff... From Christopher Eccelston, through David Tennant and into the newest Doctor, Matt Smith... I may try to get into some of the older Doctor Who stuff, eventually, but for now I am happily obsessing on the stuff from 2005 and on...

In General...

I'm a girl with bi-tendencies who is polyamorous, perverted and childfree... I'm less innocent than I look, but that's fine with me. I am not sure that I like how these quizzes keep characterizing me as sweet, but maybe it knows me better than I know me *grin* Funny, smart, geeky, opinionated, honest, kind, inquisitive and adventurous are also words that describe me...

Regarding my current relationship status - I have a husband whom I love, but I am also looking for other people to date/hang out with/get to know. We're non-monogamous/polyamorous, so it's all above board, I promise...

What's next? Good question. I am thinking I should try to find a girlfriend -- that could be a fun and new and exciting adventure :D I am also trying to learn Irish (Gaeilge) but it's hard on my own and I can't make it out to the classes in Portland... but it is still on my mind as something I want to do...

I am strange, immature, and inappropriate

What am I doing with my life? At this point, I am just making car payments and getting by... I love my job and I love the company that I work for...

I am dreaming of travel and adventures... I am playing a lot of World of Warcraft and running a guild with some fantastic people... I am dragging my feet back to eating healthier and even contemplating *gasp* working out again... It's a crazy world...

I am happy for the things I do have in my life :) Even when things are going poorly, I always try to remember the good people and things in my life and how lucky I am to have them...

Wasting time and playing games (Board Games, Video Games, Role-Playing Games, Card Games and the like)

I am also good at cooking, I think... I love America's Test Kitchen on OPB and I watch Food Network a lot... I love to open up a cookbook and try a new recipe... I like to think that I am especially good at making pancakes... MMMmmm pancakes!

I am good at looking busy at work when, in reality, I am wasting time online... I also spend way too much time and energy on World of Warcraft... I don't think I am THAT bad, but I acknowledge that I am a dork :P

If you play on the Kilrogg server, send me a message and we can say hi :)

I have no idea what to put here -- I am short, but not that short. I have black hair, but I cut about 20 inches off of it so it is no longer down to my butt. I have a really loud dorky laugh if I find something or someone insanely funny. I swear like a trucker, laugh at dirty jokes and sexual innuendo, am prone to violent outbursts and I love Hello Kitty.

I don't know that any of that noticeable on the first glance, though.

A - Instead of books, let's talk authors...

Mercedes Lackey, Steven Brust, Neil Gaiman, David Eddings (in small doses), Frank Herbert (though he gets a little heavy sometimes) and many more...

Individually adored books by authors not mentioned above include:

The Talisman by Peter Straub and Stephen King, The Catch Trap by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Pucker Up by Tristan Taormino, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman (I know Neil is listed above, but Terry isn't)... I also should throw a mention in for Elfquest - even after 30 years, I still love these graphic novels...

I also read a lot of webcomics... my favorites include Something*Positive, Girls With Slingshots, Questionable Content, Red String, nemu nemu and The Abominable Charles Christopher

B - I like horror and suspense films even though they freak me out sometimes... I like romantic comedies sometimes, if the main characters aren't too annoying and neurotic... I love caper films like Oceans 11 and The Usual Suspects... I like movies with a twist like KPax, The Life of David Gale and The Matrix... I like dark comedies like Igby Goes Down and Heathers... I like Kevin Smith films in general, though sometimes his low-brow humor makes me avert my eyes... I like classic movies like 12 Angry Men and musicals like My Fair Lady and The Sound of Music... I like kids movies as long as they aren't too cliche or they don't mangle a well-known myth or story too much (Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast were fine, but Hercules sucked ass)

And of course, I loved Serenity, even though it pissed me off. And even though it's not a movie, I have to toss in a mention for Firefly... I love love LOVE that show!!!

C - In general, I like stuff from the 80's and 90's, movie soundtracks... Absolutel favorites include Jonathan Coulton, Chameleon Circuit, BNL (Barenaked Ladies) and Great Big Sea

Other bands I like include They Might Be Giants, Cake, Trashcan Sinatras, Heather Alexander, Sarah McLachlan, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Blink 182, and Hikaru Genji.

D - I love good food! Current favorites include Barbecue, Lebanese, Japanese, Italian and Indian... Screen Door in Portland is one of my favorite places to eat, though I don't get out there often enough... Original Pancake House is Portland is also a favorite and also someplace I don't get out to often enough... Salt & Straw, Whiffies, KOiFusion, The Frying Scotsman and Apizza Scholls are also top of the pops in my book...

D.1 - I also love food television - Alton Brown, Nadia G} (from Bitchin' Kitchen) and Anthony Bourdain make for good watching...

1.) Doug, my husband

2.) My video games - World of Warcraft (of course), but I also love my PS3, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS -- they have been neglected, though, due to my time on WoW...

3.) My cats - The Colonel Kitty Sanders and Ming the Merciless... I want another, but probably won't get one for a while... alas!

4.) My car - I admit that it's not very hip, but I love the freedom that my car affords me :) Plus I just got a newer car (2006 Nissan Sentra) and I am loving it... No sunroof, but I love the power windows!

5.) My opinions - The ability and freedom to express myself is vital to my not going insane... It is also vital to me not killing people and going to jail :P

6.) Chapstick - I have an unhealthy addiction to it... especially the cherry flavored... I have tubes of Chapstick EVERYWHERE so I am never without it... Santa Claus puts Chapstick in my stocking every year :)

Stuff

I tried to expand on this, but it all really just boils down to that one word. I think about what I want to do about global warming and animal cruelty... I think about foods that I like and how I want to learn to cook them... I think about travel and where I've been and where I want to go... I think about gambling and how much fun it is... I think about my cats and how awesome they are when they aren't driving me crazy... I think about my parents and how my relationship with them has gotten better since I moved away from them... I think about how I need to work out and lose weight... I think about how much I like the rain... I think about how capri pants don't help me keep my ankles and shins warm...

And it all comes down to the fact that I spend a lot of time thinking about stuff.

Hanging out at my house and watching Food Network or BBC America... Usually playing WoW and either running Heroics with my Guild or farming for mats... I am occasionally known for being passed out because I am tired from my work week :P

I'm a card-carrying pervert -- That's not really private though... I am so open about everything, I don't know what I consider private anymore...

Here's a secret that everyone who communicates with me via text, IM or email learns about me eventually... I am addicted to emoticons and smilies :P :D :)

You should message me if you can sweep me off my feet - physically would be fascinating, but not necessary :) I am talking figuratively - be bold, be clever, be charming! And actually read my profile! That goes a long way :D

You can also message me if you are interested in me or if you want to know more about polyamory or if you think I am cool or if you want to buy me an ice cream cone or something Hello Kitty

And since I have changed my profile a bit -- you should contact me if you can amuse me and /or go on adventures with me and talk to me about random shit and explain weird stuff to me...

I also like when people can introduce me to new media like a good book that you love or awesome music (especially awesome music with clever lyrics) or a movie that I just HAVE to see...

Or if you have an Alliance toon on the Kilrogg server :) You can message me for that, too :)

If you speak Irish and want to help me improve my skills, I would love to talk to you!! You should definitely message me if you fall into that category, too :)
