About Me


MySpace Layoutshttp://say.expressivo.com/Hw8oGITtI love Mexican Food! I love Italian Food! I love rainy days because the air smells crisp and it usually cools the day! I love cool people who aren't hiding behind their coolness. (If you get to know me then you'll find out what that means)I love science. I love Jesus! I love God! I love it when people are nice to people for no other reason than being nice! I love old tv shows like Alias Smith and Jones! I love movies by Spielberg (the older ones), Lucas, Twohy, Redford, Hughes (I'm an 80's girl--you know, the formative years, when the Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles were king!)and many more!I love the Lost Boys and Kindred the Embraced and the original pilot for Nick Knight starring Rick Springfield-- he wished he had Jessie's Girl but I tell ya', during that show I would have killed to have been his girl!I'm a newly published author. My book is doing well. I'm very happy. I write mostly Sci Fi, Fantasy, Romance, Military Sci Fi.I have a web site at www.claredargin.bravehost.com, www.thescifihaven.bravehost.com and the novel Cold Warriors is available at Fictionwise and www.AspenMountainPress.com or you can join me on Bebo at www.bebo.com/ClareD105I love hearing from scifi readers, writers and fans alike.

Cryonics: Fact or Fiction?

http://www.quazen.com/Science/Anomalies-and-Alternative-Scie nce/Cryonics-Fact-or-Fiction.78118

My Interests

Chinese Martial Arts, Gardening, Writing and Space/Astronomy stuff. I'm beginning to sound like a new age hippie (no offense to the new agers out there or the hippies) or nerd but I'm neither. (In case of the nerd, maybe I am) I just like things that help me to relax in this hectic world!

I'd like to meet:

First of all interesting people!! And anyone who likes scifi, fantasy and romance (tv, books or movies).Here comes the wish list. So if you are out their surfing guys-- hook me up! Tony Blair-- for reasons that are my own and not sexual in nature. I admire the man for what he has accomplished in spite of his past.George Lucas-- I'm a Star Wars fan and just because I'd like to see the magic behind Skywalker Ranch.John Williams-- because I love his music. I played his soundtracks like they were rock music and I still think he is underrated to this day!David Twohy-- because there is so much behind his work! There is vision and back story that doesn't need to be said by his characters but I would sure love to read it in a future book!And shall I say have I want to have more female friends-- because true friendship-- shared woman to woman is a bond that is indescrible(sp?). It is more than Grrl power, it's cool friendship that never disappoints!Oh yeah and people who like my work! I love talking about the stories I write. And if you're into them, I love talking about them even more!However if you fit none of the above and just would like to connect, hey that's cool too! As Nathan Fillion would say-- "leave some positivity" behind. Why? Because I love happy endings.

Music:

New Age Music (Mostly Celtic and Ambient Music), Classical Music and Pop music from the 80's and hair bands from the 80's. Christian music too! Boy do I sound square! Is that not hip to say? L-7 rulz

Movies:

Star Wars (All of them!) Star Trek (the Original Cast 1-6) 2010, The Lost Boys, The Arrival, Pitch Black (Vin Diesel before the fame), Chronicles of Riddick (for Karl Urban--I think he's moving up the ladder-- actually it's because I am a fan of David Twohy's work), Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Raiders of the Lost Ark (Spielberg 'nuff said). And Ordinary People and Late for Dinner.

Television:

I'm still searching!!!! Oh wait! The Deadliest Catch!!! My favorite ship though no longer profiled is the Rollo!! Then there is the Unit, Eureka and the rest are oldies but goodies like Alien Nation: The Series, Kindred: the Embraced, Space: Above and Beyond, The Cape and much much more.

adopt your own virtual pet!

Books:

Book of the Dead, The Relic, The Reliquary, Mount Dragon by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Hot Zone by Richard Preston, Traitors Among Us by Stuart Harrington, Ordinary People by Judith Guest and Arthur C. Clarke (2010 and Childhood's End).No scifi books you say? Well I got my fix from tv and movies mostly! And any other books that have escaped me at this time look out! Run! Because I will devour you! And there is my own Cold Warriors! www.claredargin.bravehost.com, www.thescifihaven.bravehost.com on Sale at Fictionwise and Aspen Mountain Press.com

Heroes:

Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman! And the Wonder Twins!!Did I mention Optimus Prime and the gang? Oh yeah, don't forget Duke, Lady Jane, Scarlett, Flint and Shipwreck (he always made me laugh!) And Sound Wave cause he sounded way cool. You gotta love a guy who carries cassettes in chest! And he was animal lover too (i.e. laserbeak, buzzsaw etc.)Your results:

So the Cycle Begins Again
