I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Fausta Martiania Gangalia Minervalis, but please call me Minervalis, or Fausta Martiania, or F. Martiania. I'm a Roman polytheist, a member of Gens Martiania, and a citizen of Nova Roma , "an organization dedicated to the study and restoration of ancient Roman culture" (taken from the Nova Roma website). Some of you may have known me here before as Tiamat. Some of you may currently know me as BakulaBabe, Qui-GonJinnBabe, Dead_Like_Kai, or SoCalDeni. I still have my regular "legal" name, but I'm not giving it out.
I'm also still a bit of a hippie, and I really miss those days. Well, I don't miss eveything about those days, but they were certainly interesting!
I've had a disability called Dystonia (aka Spasmodic Torticollis) since 2003. It's a movement disorder causing spasms in the affected muscles (the neck in my case), and unusual postures. In spite of that, I can still hold down a job and do most of the things I could do before - except drive and ride a bicycle safely.
Being child-free was an easy choice for me to make, since the older I got, the less I liked kids. I don't miss not having them, and I'm glad I made the choice not to have them.
I've watched Star Trek since 1967, and I've seen every episode of every Star Trek series, including The Animated Series. The only thing I really don't like is Avery Brooks' acting style.
If you're a "friend collector" I'm cool with that, but frankly, I'm not interested in how hot or sexy you (or others) think you are.
If any of my Justin Siena classmates are wondering who I am, and why my name isn't part of the "Class of 71", it's because I didn't have this name then. Also, the school was separated into 2 schools then - Justin for the boys, and Siena for the girls.
Is it weird that I find death metal relaxing?

~Athena~ You are most like Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Though you do not seem to possess the warlike aspect of her personality, there is no doubt that you possess her intelligence.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet all of my MySpace friends in person, and these people...(More to be added as I find the videos)

Scott Bakula (advertising my favorite coffee)

Wil Wheaton (actually met him at book signing, got his autograph on his book) :-)

Leonard Nimoy

You.

Well, to be more specific, I'd like to meet anyone who shares any of my interests.

Who I don't want to meet are people who are only concerned with partying, getting laid, and getting others to tell them they're "so hot". Sheesh, give me a break.

My Blog

Huh

Haven't been around here much because MySpace sometimes runs very slow for me. It's probably a problem with my laptop, and I know what to do, but one of the things that would be most effective is very...
