First and foremost, I am interested in my 2 kids, because they are so special to me. I am torn between wanting them to grow up and become the cool people I know they are meant to be and wanting them to stay my babies. They are turning out really well, so far. I am having a great time being married to my best friend. It's been 10 years and we're still having a great time.We have three dogs. We also have a black rabbit named Toby who is really cool and thinks he's a dog.I'm a member of the 501st Alabama Garrison. Yay Bikerscouts!My husband and I are members of the Dead Pirates. He's Jose Gaspar and I'm Jaquotte Delahaye. We have a lot of great friends in this group, and it's a great outlet for costuming. I'm always on the lookout for new things to make. This year, I'm working on no less than 12 costumes, most are our DragonCon outfits. Photobucket Album
There are a lot of dead people I would like to meet. Doesn't that sound morbid? Ugh, but I mean people like Richard Feinman, Einstien, Chopin, Douglas Adams, Freddy Mercury, Rosa Parks, George Sand, Mary Shelley. Not that I want to go and meet them NOW or anything..Living people I would like to meet: John Rhys Davies (because I lost my nerve last year), Kevin Smith, Alan Rickman, Jason Isaacs, Hugh Jackman, Julia Roberts, David Wenham, John C. McGinnley, Kathy Griffin, Jack Black. I dont know why. I guess mainly because they are all people I think would be great at a party.
I like any kind of music. I listen to filking, some country, Irish drinking songs, pirate songs, alternative, classical music, hard rock, some rap.. it just really depends on the song for me.Favorite groups: Great Big Sea, Peter Gabriel, Queen, Shania Twain, Meatloaf, David Bowie, Brobdingnagian Bards, Scurvy Pirates, Dave Matthews Band, Crosby Stills & Nash, America, Cheryl Crowe
Star Wars, Xmen, El Dorado, Indiana Jones, Young Sherlock Holmes, Dogma, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Ice Pirates!, Pirates of the Caribbean, LOTR, The Office, Peter Pan, The Black Swan. Hmm.. see a pirate theme here?
Firefly, SG-Atlantis, Babylon 5, Battlestar Gallactica, Medium, Ghost Hunters, West Wing, Dr. Who, HGTV
Anything by Heinlen, Anything by Arthur C. Clarke. I recently discovered Tim Pratt's "The strange adventures of Rangergirl" which I am really enjoying. Lois McMaster Bujold's books are awesome, especially "Cordelia's Honor". Douglas Adams, who wrote all of the Hitchhicker's Guide books, will always be my favorite. I enjoy Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Jordan, JK Rowling, and Dan Simmons immensely.
I guess the main hero I have is a heroine. She was an ancestor of mine. Her name was Ghormley (meaning Blue maid), and various legends about her have her as a goddess or queen of the fairies. I think that's pretty cool. She WAS a queen, though. She married Brian Boru, who was a king of Ireland. She was fierce in everything she did, and opinionated, and yet she was respected a great deal. I think of her when I have to be assertive. I think I'm too weird to ever find someone to model myself after.
