I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm just a plain, everyday, commonplace, come-what-may, average, ordinary, wonderful girl. Not really, but points to whoever knows what I just quoted. I have a lovely husband and an amazing baby girl whom I lovelovelove. I also have no patience for cowardice or dishonesty, a penchant for vegetable korma, and a gorgeous horse named Shadow. I love good satire, but have no need for Family Guy, although I do like manatees. I'm a Master Freemason and a compulsive needlepointer. I really appreciate girls who appreciate the movie The Sweetest Thing, and who understand the concept of screwing a guy on the first date in case you want to get rid of him right after. While I would never go out of my way to hurt anyone's feelings (because among other things I would feel horribly guilty), I also think it isn't cool to pretend you like someone if you don't. I don't think I'm a bitch, though some may disagree. Life is too short for bullshit and Kool-Aid consumption, you know? (that's metaphorical Kool-Aid, btw...think Jonestown)

My Interests

My gorgeous baby daughter, quilting, needlecrafts, words, food, horses, stage combat, English literature, bears, random pop culture things and all sorts of stuff that I can't think of right now. Just assume that I'm fantastically interesting, and just really tired.

I'd like to meet:

Networking. Giggles. Friends, those without backbone need not apply. And pretend friends piss me off -- you know, those people who are all friendly and "let's hang out" to your face and then never call, or you see be all friendly to others whom they badmouth as you are alone. If they act like they like that person but really don't, how can you ever be sure they really like you? I would in general like to surround myself with people who have spines and who are honest and don't lie to you and don't believe their own bullshit. They've got to be out there somewhere.
You scored as Dragon. Dragon: Now talk about a legend. These magnificent creatures are of many species. Some can be as large as the Earth itself, while others are as small as a mouse. One image that comes to everyone's mind is the large, fire breathing Dragons that loathed humans and loved to sleep on massive piles of gold. Not all dragons have a bad reputation. Most dragons are very wise, caring, and protective. It would make a person very lucky indeed to meet a dragon. Especially if they walked away untouched. I admire your wisdom, for you are the Ancient Dragon.

Which Historical Lunatic Are You?
From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey.

Music:

Elton John, Billy Joel, Weird Al Yankovic, Barenaked Ladies, Blues Traveler, Paul Simon, Dar Williams, Oingo Boingo, Peter Gabriel, and all sorts of showtunes. I hesitate to put Tori Amos simply because her fans are so damn annoying most of the time.

Movies:

Big Fish, The Last Unicorn, The Producers (the REAL one, not this Nathan Lane crap), Pirates of Penzance, Blue Velvet, The Court Jester, Labyrinth, The Man Who Would Be King. And of course, Pirates of the Caribbean -- the first one. I choose not to believe in the other two.

Television:

South Park, The Simpsons, Twin Peaks, Xena, Star Trek The Next Generation, Quantum Leap, Whose Line Is It Anyway (the British one, not Drew's Line), Golden Girls reruns. A&E dockos hosted by Bill Kurtis. I miss Night Court, come to think of it. Life would be terrible without syndication and Tivo.

Books:

Anything by Neil Gaiman, especially American Gods. Also Cowboy Feng's Space Bar and Grille (Steven Brust), The Hobbit (screw the rest of the series), and A Fine And Private Place (Peter S Beagle). The entire run of Preacher, by Garth Ennis. Stuff by Thomas Harris.

Heroes:

Stephen Sondheim, Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, Anne Bancroft, Angela Lansbury, Julie Andrews, Ann-Margret, Josie Lawrence, Wayne Brady (just for his ability to do musical improv)
