About Me
I'm a geek gamer chick. I'm tall. I'm open-minded. I have bodyart. I want more. I have intensely blue eyes. I love karaoke. I love analog RPGs. I go to gaming conventions like GenCon and NukeCon. I play Ticket to Ride, Settlers of Catan, and other seemingly geek-niche games. I love hackysack, but can never find enough people with whom to kick. I'm a recently-named hasher (look "Hash House Harriers" up on Wikipedia for info about that). You bet your sweet ass I am a turtle. I have the coolest stuffed plush Cthulhu. I create and sell geek bumper stickers, primarily referencing World of Warcraft. I had 3 cats, named Eris, Willow, and Xander, but nowadays only Xander lives with me. I'm intelligent. I'm a stickler for spelling and grammar. I grew up in NYC. I'm an avid reader. I know where my towel is. I am wry and acerbic. I'm passionate. I'm adventurous. I practice ethical non-monogamy (aka polyamory)... well, not so much practice anymore, but still very strongly believe the principles. I'm bisexual. I'm overweight, but sexy as hell. I am aggressive. I don't have time for people who aren't well suited to my personality because I'd rather invest it in the people who are.
Please describe how you could take the peel off an apple all in one go:
With my mind, of course.

Favorite Books
- Authors: Kurt Vonnegut (the man for whom the term "lovable curmudgeon" was created)
- Steven Brust (the Vlad Taltos series is well worth reading)
- Robin Hobb (one of the best fantasy authors out there)
- Augusten Burroughs (I only recently discovered him
- and he's my kind of crazy)
- Robert Jordan (though I knew he was going to kick off before finishing the Wheel of Time series - I swear that man was the written-word equivalent of George Lucas - great ideas; but clumsy
- overblown execution. Gah!)

- damnit)

- Terry Pratchett (Read. Discworld. Now.)

- Dave Duncan (the series The Great Game was a really enjoyable read
- and there were a bunch of other titles I read repeatedly when I was a teenager)
- J.R.R. Tolkien (not for style
- but out of respect for a pioneer)
- Jean M. Auel (whose main character single-handedly came up with every innovation
- ever... and had a lot of sex)
- Neal Stephenson (except for the Baroque bullshit)
- and George R. R. Martin (if only for his copious use of the word 'cunt'
- which will forever and always be my favorite swear word. It's the only one that still makes people shudder.)
