My fandom killed my GPA...

About Me

According to my sisters, I, at the tender age of 26, have become a 'frumpy housewife'. It's sad, really. I work all the time, so I don't get out to do much...most of my socialization is electronic. I'm really not addicted to AIM...I can quit whenever I want!! Screenname drakien96I'm the oldest of four kids (2 sisters, 22 and 18, and a 13 year old brother who is taller than me). My dad is a Virologist, and my mom is an artist, so growing up was a lot of fun. I started writing fanfic back in the day (like, 10 years ago) for another show that most of us probably know and love, The X-Files. I will be the first to admit that I was a big nerd. Wait...did I say 'was'? Okay, okay, so I still am a big nerd. But I embrace my geekiness fully these days. Hi, my name is Mel, and I am addicted to CSI. It probably worries my friends. I have also started writing House and Harry Potter fic.I work full-time as a technician in an antiviral research lab...work mostly with fun stuff like HIV, Herpes and Hepatitis, but have recently delved into the world of respiratory viruses. Been there for just over 6 years.I also go to school at Hood College; graduated in May 06 (YAY DONE!!!), but am back going for my Masters in Biomedical Science. Woot.So anyhow...that's why I have no life. Have two cats…the first one spoiled me terribly, he’s sooo good, but my kitten is a holy terror and is into everything. She is teaching me a Buddhist-like detachment from material things by breaking everything I have of value.So yeah...that's it, I guess.

Music:

Er...well, as with books, my tastes are relatively diverse. My mp3 player has some of everything. Not *real* big into rap, but some of it isn't bad, I'll admit. Mostly loud screaming women (Avril Lavigne, Alanis Morisette, Ani DiFranco, Melissa Etheridge, etc.), but I've got Sons of Pitches, the Click Five, Five for Fighting, U2, Staind, Nickelback, Matchbox 20, Smash Mouth, Lifehouse, The Early November, Fallout Boys, Evanescence, Jewel, Jem, Shania Twain, Queen, Simon & Garfunkel, Three Dog Night, the Mamas & the Papas, Billy Joel, and a bunch of others. Also have soundtracks to musicals, tv shows and movies. Recently purchased the "As Seen on TV" collections "Forever 90s" and "Wack". Yeah. They rock my world.

Movies:

Love all kinds of movies, but a few come to mind... Anything Disney. At all. Last Samurai, Princess Bride, Young Frankenstein (hell, anything Mel Brooks), any Monty Python flick, Guarding Tess...hmmm. Just saw and LURVED Brokeback Mountain. All kinds of musicals...Camelot, 1776, the King and I, Fiddler on the Roof, etc. And I heart Yul Brenner, so I gleefully watch the 10 Commandments every year on TV. I can't think of any more right now, but I'm sure there are BILLIONS out there that I've watched and liked

Television:

Medium, House MD, CSI (original only!), Dead Zone, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and hoardes of others...also enjoying late-nite Cinemax...WOO-HA!

Books:

Anything by Tamora Pierce, David Eddings, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan, Anne McCaffrey. Also *shamelessly* addicted to Dan Brown's novels...DaVinci Code was cool, but Digital Fortress rawked my SOCKS. Love James Herriot, Kay Hooper, and all of the Harry Potter books. ADORE Wen Spencer...her books are like CRACK, I tell you! Even like all of the classics. David Coe's Outlander series, Maggie Furey...umm...L.J. Smith's Nightworld series, which is *totally* out of print right now, but I HAVE THEM ALL!! lol So yeah; my tastes are pretty diverse...I read just about everything except my textbooks when I'm supposed to. But I guess that's what happens when you've been working in a bookstore for over 10 years, right?

Heroes:

My bestest buds Paula and Abby.Paula: "I never understood the problem with succubi and incubi. I mean that some demon in the shape of a gorgeous woman or man would come to you at night and ride you like a bitch....okay this is bad how?"
