History Tropers / FruityOatyBars

Some 30-something lady in Boston. Happily married to fandom and a bit of a [[LonersAreFreaks loner]].

I'm a 30-something overeducated [[OfficeLady temp]], born in [[{{Joisey}} New Jersey]], raised in [[HollywoodNewEngland western Massachusetts]], and now happily ensconced in [[{{Boston}} Boston]]. Proudly representing multiple stereotypes of my home state, I'm a liberal pinko lefty, a perpetual satellite of academia, of Irish ancestry, [[ClusterFBomb foul-mouthed]] especially on the T or the road, and consider maple syrup to be SeriousBusiness. I'm happily married to fandom and a bit of a [[LonersAreFreaks loner]].

I'm happily married to fandom and a bit of a [[LonersAreFreaks loner]]. In addition to being a self-described media whore, I'm a history buff, amateur singer, and decorative arts enthusiast with a particular love of glass art (Dale Chihuly and Josh Simpson ftw) and Asian ceramics. While I only joined TV Tropes in March 2011, I've been [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife lurking semi-obsessively for over a year before that]].

* {{Fangirl}} tendencies, I'll admit - major PerverseSexualLust for various characters ([[{{Adorkable}} Alistair]] from ''DragonAge'', [[ByronicHero Anders]] (that bastard broke my heart) and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Merrill]] from ''DragonAgeII'', female [[IdealHero Shepard]] and [[HotScientist Liara]] from ''MassEffect'', [[HotScientist Mohinder Suresh]] from ''[[{{Series/Heroes}} Heroes]]'', ''[[{{Angel}} Angel]]'', [[FishOutOfWater Simon Tam]] from ''[[{{Firefly}} Firefly]]'', [[HotScientist Shion]] [[TheWoobie Uzuki]] from ''{{Xenosaga}}'', [[StaffChick Yuna]] from ''FinalFantasyX'' and [[DeadpanSnarker Paine]] from ''{{FinalFantasyX-2}}'', [[LoveableRogue Haley]] [[ActionGirl Starshine]] and [[HotChickWithASword Miko]] [[KnightTemplar Miyazaki]] from ''TheOrderOfTheStick'' - weird, considering the minimalist art and that Miko's crazy). . .and a tendency to {{Squee}}. I like to joke that I'm "fictionsexual."

* [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter Horrible Judge of Character]] sometimes, alas. . . (TheLibby wants to be my bestest friend, and everything she tells me is true! Of course my friendship with the smarmy guy my friends warned me about [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong will work out fine]]!)

* I'm a long-retired ''PlanescapeTorment'' fanwriter, one of the few existing, who gafiated back in 2003. No, I'm not posting links, if it's still out there on the interwebs (I don't even know if it is). It's mostly OldShame and DeadFic.
* While I seldom read CrackFic, I find the concepts hilarious.

* ''TheKidsAreAllRight''

* I'm currently reading ''OrderOfTheStick'' with great amusement. "Evil, a growth industry. We're always hiring! NASDAQ symbol: DOOM."

I should hope, though, that I've avoided the worst aspects of fangirlery - disregard for the work outside of my PSL object, DracoInLeatherPants, DieForOurShip, and ShipToShipCombat.
