About Me

Please see my interests for a good overview of the types of literature, film, and art that keep me going! I am a geek who is happily married to a fellow geek, so I'm not looking for anything romantic, but am always happy to meet new friends who enjoy playing board games, going to movies, writing and chatting in coffee shops, squeeing over slash, rewatching episodes of Buffy, going to Ren Faires, etc.

My Interests
