This is my new journal. It is friends-only, comment to be added....
Navy Brat, hockey fan, obsessive tv watcher and book reader. Story is king. Former theater major, Bachelor of Arts in English. Future librarian.
Random facts:
I like to watch a lot of tv, (and a lot of what I like is only in reruns now), including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, Firefly, Angel, Gilmore Girls, and I still watch Lost...with the addition of a DVR to my household, I've expanded the tv watching to include many other shows.
I read a lot, generally sci fi, fantasy, and horror, with dashes of classic literature and historical fiction thrown in. I like to cook, and hate to clean up afterwards.
I like to draw, paint, sing, act, tech, and build stuff. I'm not too good at most of those, though I'm pretty skilled with the teching, and can handle power tools without a problem.
I am really clumsy.
That has nothing to do with power tools.
I'm not so good at taking compliments. but I like them anyway.
"The magic chose the shape, not I," Schmendrick answered. "A mountebank may select this cheat or that, but a magician is a porter, a donkey carrying his master where he must. The magician calls, but the magic chooses. If it changes a unicorn to a human being, then that was the only thing to do." His face was fevered with an ardent delirium which made him look even younger. "I am a bearer," he sang. "I am a dwelling, I am a messenger--"
"You are an idiot," Molly Grue said fiercely.

"My, look at that vision of femininity," they would murmur. "Though she is of modest height and bra size, she will most certainly become an inspiring muse who will escape the drudgery of office life for the overpaid work of modeling."
-Annie Tomlin
"People don't remember me. Really. It's not a paranoid thing; I just have this habit of slipping through memories. It doesn't bother me all that much, except I guess that's a lie; it does. For some reason, I test very high on forgetability."
-William Goldman
"You pile of stones, you waste, you desolation, I'll stuff you with misery till it comes out of your eyes. I'll change your heart to green grass, and all you love into sheep. I'll turn you into a bad poet1 with dreams. I'll set all your toenails growing inward. You mess with me."
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
1Its a dire fate to be a bad poet with dreams.
