...and now I get stage fright? ^_^
I don't know if anyone would recognize my name from draconic.com or
LiveJournal. But here I am. I've skimmed usenet before in the past, but until
I figured out a way to configure things into nice, neat, easy-to-follow
folders, I wasn't going to dive in.
I guess I should start off with a bit about me, ne? Well, I'm almost 29,
female, and I'm blessed enough to have another dragon as my lifemate. I'm a
Blue, and... there's too many facets to even start to put down. I'm gothic, I'm
country, I'm victorian, I'm hentai, I'm prudish, I'm pessimistic, I'm romantic,
I'm a paradox I suppose. I'm Christian -- and before anyone starts rolling
their eyes, let's just put it this way. I won't have a problem with anybody
else's beliefs if they don't make it a point to have a problem with mine. I
hate arguing politics of any sort -- from world politics to in-group politics
-- but I'm also confrontational and aggressive when pushed.
I'm a dragon, after all. Don't corner me, I'm easy enough to get along with.
I'm rather rigid about honesty, loyalty, and honor. I don't generally give my
time to those who don't care to abide by the same code as I do. I've been
described as "honest to a fault", but heck if I can see how honesty is a fault.
There's a difference between being cruelly blunt and tactful, and too many
people equate tact to lying. Yeah, the truth can hurt, but it's a clean break
that heals stronger. Lying results in festering wounds that leave scars behind
on the psyche. I expect as good as I give, primarily because I've had one too
many sword to the softscales by those who don't place the same priority on
honesty, friendship and trust as I do.
I'm rather tempermental, and I can skip between social and antisocial in 2.5
seconds. I'm highly territorial and naturally extremely possessive of my hoard
-- my books. Living situations currently have unfortunately regulated a huge
chunk of my hoard into storage, so I'm no longer certain how many I own. It's
definitely several hundred, over 500 at last count, closer to 1,000. I may have
passed that mark recently. When I had everything arranged just so in the past,
I could easily find any given book on any given topic in my hoard within a
minute. Yes, I knew the exact location of every item. ^_^
I'm involved in fanfic -- formerly Marvel, currently Anime, more specifically
The Slayers. Naturally, my favorite character to write about is the Ryuuzoku,
Filia Ul Copt. I'm also working on an original series, Dragonblood. I'll
include a bit I mentioned regarding it that I wrote up for the "Promoting
dragons" thread.
My favorite color is... well... blue, naturally. ^_^ It is just such a peaceful
shade; although shades of purple are a close second. I can't really say I have
any real fondness for humans; unfortunately humanity at large... well... with
all the techonolgy advances, Darwin's laws are being broken left and right. -_-
Work in retail, and you'll find that out pretty darn quick.
I'm eclectic in a lot of my tastes; favorite music artists can range from Ray
Boltz to Rush to Nightwish to Dolly Parton to Monty Python to Celine Dion to
Meatloaf to Savage Garden to...well, you get the gist. ^_^ I'm a lyrics whore.
I have over 2,000 lyric files on my HD and I don't even want to know how many I
have memorized. I can't hear a blessed thing, but that's never stopped me from
having a very eerily accurate sense of rythym and meter, and a love for music.
Hey, it didn't stop Beethoven either, now, did it?
And I've probably rambled on quite long enough, thank you, and I have some
e-mails I still need to get around to replying, and gah... so much work. I
would suggest that if anything is ever *really* important in reference to me,
that one would e-mail me personally intead of hoping I might see it on the
list, since I sometimes don't always follow along well if I get swamped.
But then, I think we all know how that goes.
Ta for now.
