Getting to know you...

[beetiger]

From all over my friends page, passing it on before it gets too stale...

"I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal."

Well I'm a publishered writer, and my mate lives in Australia.

Vague vanity: I've been on national television twice.

Oddly enough, no. Once a segment on 3-2-1 Contact(!) about acid rain back when I was 13, and once when CNN's weekly science show did a segment on my boss's research into computer graphics for relativity back at CMU; I show up in the background calling up screenshots and such.

I'm the most evil person I know.

I'm the guy who nobody wants to hire because I'm a scary hacker. Booga booga.

I live in Toronto in a house where cats outnumber people. I play bass and compose music. My name is an anagram of "devil devil cinema"; regardless, I don't like horror movies.

One of my most treasured possessions was an autographed photo of Fred Rogers, received when I entered one of the "Draw Mr. McFeely" contests.

I had done my entry in crayon, but had made Mr. McFeely's moustache out of grey felt and glued it onto the picture. For this flash of creativity, I received an Honorable Mention.

They probably gave everyone who entered (except the winner) Honorable Mentions. Doesn't matter to me; I had the photo framed on my desk for 21 years before it disappeared in a move.

I don't like being a woman. But it seems better than being a man. If given a choice, I'd pick neuter.

This comment brought to you by my period.

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

[Bard blinks] Wow. I haven't met much of anyone else who'd choose neuter.

Someday, my hysterectomy will come.

I like to travel to the beach in Summertime and Vermont in the winter.

I'm addicted to Captian Crunch. (And the birth sampler is finished...but I'm waiting until after the Xmas insanity to send it, in the hopes that it doesn't disappear into the North Pole Black Hole....)

I have a quite high tolerance for the cold, and I like wearing shorts. I consider almost any temperature above freezing to be acceptable shorts weather; at 5 to 6 degrees C (around 41 F) I can feel it's almost balmy. I generally only surrender to the forces of Toronto's winter when it starts actually snowing.

One year, this meant that I managed to keep wearing shorts right up until an unexpected snowfall on Christmas Eve forced me to concede that maybe it was getting just a little bit too nippy.

I played Adventure in 1978 on a thermal-printing briefcase terminal with an acoustic modem that my father brought home from Stanford for a few evenings.

I was born a poor black man... err... wait, no, that's some other jerk...

I used to be a mime.

I worked at the Government Printing Office for two years - mailing out various publications and admiring (and buying) more than I should!

Oh, there's so and so . . . she's a wannabe cradle-snatcher!

Ever since I was 12 years old, I've been in love with 13 year old boys. To me, they represent the masculine ideal: baby-faced, but in the grips of the first rush of hormones. Curious about absolutely everything, still impulsive enough to be the most aggressive skaters/snowboarders you'll ever see, and flush with confidence. In the next few years, they'll be zitty and full of self-doubt and sarcasm, their limbs will grow to awkward lengths, their hair greasy and rank.

But at thirteen, they're breathtakingly beautiful. I'd love to date one. The closest I got was a yummy makeout session when I was 20. Now I'm really, really, far too old for that. But as I catch my mischievous eye and short cute hair in the mirror's reflection, I'm making up my mind to be a thirteen year old boy. In all the abstract/physical ways possible that don't involve hormone treatments, surgery, or going back to high school. Maybe I'll even buy a skateboard.

Don't worry, I promise to be in another country for Mothra's 13th year of life. ;)

For a little while, I was a private investigator for ASCAP. I have a life goal of visiting every continent except Antarctica (I don't much like cold weather).

Two, two, two in one day

Things you don't know about me...

I'm awake now?

My favorite tea is Lapsang Souchong, but I'm not allowed to make it in the house because everything thinks it smells like swamp.

*I'm* not the furry fan. My husband is. I just ... erm. talk with furries. Yeah, that's it.

I have a dicebag that looks like fake spotty-cat fur.

In a particular set of photographs, my youngest child looks like he's a Dickensian urchin.

Hmmm, I'm perpetually behind on reading (and writing to) LJ. Does that work? ;>
