I am here for Friends

About Me

Not much to say about me really - short, fat and ugly about does it. My husband and I live in one home and I am working on selling my other house to some friends currently renting it. Between us, my boyfriend and I have five cats which makes for some interesting days. We both love sci-fi, science, history (more me), politics (much more him), and I find religous intolerance the ultimate in dumb.Special thanks to Criz for her drawing of me as a squirrel, and to Tammy (tmac72) for the captions.

My Interests

History, Science, Geneology

I'd like to meet:

Many of my squirrel friends. I love the TV shows Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis so I'ld love to meet as many of the people who work on those shows as I can meet. The Dalai Lama would be interesting, as would Queen Noor of Jordon. Lots of others I can't begin to list.

Music:

I tend to enjoy easy listening most, but I like some of just about everything.

Movies:

I don't go to the movies that often really - it just gets too costly anymore and I can see a lot on DVD.Currently I'm a 'squirrel' (see blog) trying to help promote "A Dog's Breakfast" by writer/director/actor David Hewlett. http://www.adogsbreakfastmovie.com "A Dog's Breakfast" videos by h0rrid/dgeek.

Television:

Current shows: Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG-1, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, The Science ChannelPast shows: Maverick, Perfect Strangers

Books:

My favorite series of books - All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. Great reading if you love animals.

Heroes:


My grandmother, who raised four children by herself during the depression and kept the family together.
