About Me

I'm a volunteer captain at the Atlanta Shakespeare Tavern and am a boothie at the Raven's Nest at the Georgia Renaissance Festival. I'm a life long Christian, with many pagan and atheist friends, and, as the saying is, "Straight, but not narrow." I first discovered the Internet when I was using a C-64, with a 300 baud connect -- LOVED the Science Fiction BBS, with people from all over the world. I'm still thrilled with the ability to connect and learn. Working as a bookkeeper in industry now, but would prefer to work in the arts.I usually hang out on LiveJournal, and I enjoy comments and conversations -- ann-mcn.livejournal.comMy oldest is in the Army with the 101st, and will be returning to Iraq for his second tour there soon.

My Interests

Varied. Books, theatre, music, gardening (wanna talk compost?), weather, politics, religion, ecology, people.... ooh, shiny!

I'd like to meet:

People who have interests and care about things, beyond the latest television fad.
And people from all over.
You are now marked on my visitor map! Create your own visitor map!

Music:

Classical, Celtic, Broadway, late 1960's-early 1970's pop (Simon & Garfunkle, Crosby, Stills, & Nash), folk music. I like Live365 for Internet Radio, and have an all Muppet radio station in my favorites.

Movies:

The Lord of the Rings trio, Pirates of Penzance, 1776, musicals.

Television:

Britcoms on PBS, Good Eats, and Mythbusters, if I remember to turn the set on.

Books:

Science fiction and fantasy: Tolkien, Lewis, Bujold, L'Engle, Charles Williams, de Lint, just off the top of my head. Murder mysteries: Dorothy Sayers, Rex Stout, Tony Hillerman, Ngaio March, Allingham. Also Georgette Heyer, Louis L'Amour (especially in alternation - sort of a salty/sweet mental flavor), and anything else with print in it.

Heroes:

People who truly show courage and dedication in doing what is right. Not people who harangue other people.

Another post!

Poking around here on MySpace and trying to get used to how this venue functions, and how interaction works. I like conversation, not stand alone rants.
