About Me

I'm a work in progress, just like this page will be. I've already decided that my age will change on a regular basis, depending upon how I feel. Somedays, I'll be feeling like an energetic child bouncing all over the place; others, I'll be as curmudgeonly as a 90 year old has the right to be! Today I'm feeling about 108 (though I can only go up to 99 on the counter). Why? Because the dog days of summer have arrived early this year and that's supposed to be our high temperature. Ugh. I think I HATE summer!
In other mundane matters, my rock is rockin' again (for now!), so it's back as my icon! Yay! I missed my rock. He represents my love of rock music as well as my profession (geologist).
As for my quote, it's a defining one for me from one of my favorite songs, Midlife Crisis by Faith No More. I'm still devastated that they broke up, but I'll always have the music.

My Interests

I love reading any trashy novel I can get my hands on, watching dramas on tv, playing video games with my son, and knitting when I can find the time. My biggest interest, other than my kid, is probably my obsession with HSX. I've been playing for over 7 years now and have done quite, quite well. Too bad it's fake money!

I'd like to meet:

World leaders so I can knock their heads together. Hopefully, common sense and decency would prevail.
The fluffier side of me would like to meet Toby Rand and the other boys from Juke Kartel. Fun would be had by all.

Music:

I have another obsession in life. Yes, I'm a Toby Rand/Juke Kartel freak! All other music is taking backseat at the moment. However, after rediscovering them a few nights ago, I need to give props to one of the greatest bands of all time: Faith No More. I will alway, always love them for what they added to my life.

Movies:

You'd think that I'd have a looooong list of movies I've recently seen and loved, considering I play an .. movie game...BUT...I don't. I've been too busy to see many movies lately, and I'm bummed about it. Typically, I've been catching them on cable or DVD months after release. As for favorites, I still love the originial Star Wars Trilogy (you know, the ones before George lost his mojo) and The Matrix (mostly because Keanu is so hot in it). I'm also a huge, huge sucker for a decent chick flick (though your definition of "decent" might be quite different from mine!)

Television:

It's all about Grey's Anatomy for me. Love, love, love the characters, writing, dialogue, stories. Great show. I generally enjoy TV dramas, but I've never really gotten into the half hour sitcoms. Something super fantastic would have to come along to catch my attention.

Books:

Hmmm...I'll just list Nora Roberts and Jayne Ann Krentz as my favorite authors for now. I've followed them from their very first books, and it's been fun watching them rise to the top. It definitely helps that they write strong female characters who are smart and capable.

Heroes:

Anyone who takes care of people in need, whether it be here in the US or throughout the world. We need more compassion and people who are willing to give their time to others. I admire each and every one of them.
On a lighter note...
Your Candy Heart Says "First Kiss"
You're a true romantic who brings an innocent hope to each new relationship.
You see the good in every person you date, and you relish each step of falling in love.
Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a romantic dinner your sweetie cooks for you
Your flirting style: friendly and sweet
What turns you off: cynics who don't believe in romance
Why you're hot: you always keep the romance alive What Does Your Candy Heart Say?
you are lightcyan
#E0FFFF
Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.
Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working.
Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

HSX: The fembot in me

HSX: The blahs of autumn

How can my favorite time of year be such a craptacular season for HSX? Aside from early fall being a dumping ground for not-so-great movies, the market itself is very boring lately. After a spectacula...

What's in a name?

Before I do much more in this space, I should clarify all of my aliases, so my various groups of friends don't get totally confused. On HSX, I have three port names. The ports are: Jabberglory, Glore...
