Who am I?

• I'm a nerd, Geography, Geology, Meteorology, Planetary Science, Astronomy, Speculative Fiction, more TV as time goes on, and lots of music.

I'm a huge fan of:

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer
• The Three Colors Trilogy (particularly Red, tied for favorite movie of all time)
• Heavenly Creatures (the other all time favorite)
• Discworld
• Watership Down
• The Wheel of Time (currently on the upswing)
• Charles de Lint's Newford Books (especially the story collections, Memory and Dream, Forests of the Heart, and The Onion Girl)
• Ian Mcdonald's books (especially the last third of King of Morning, Queen of Day, and Evolution's Shore)
• Cyteen
• Lord of Light (by far my favorite of Zelazny's books)
• Ender's Game (but not the sequels which get weirder and weirder)
• William Gibson (Pattern Recognition, Burning Chrome, and Neuromancer are aces)
• Fight Club
• Joan D. Vinge's Snow Queen Cycle
• Robin Mckinley's Deerskin and Sunshine
• Anneof Green Gables
• Karin Kallmaker (Touchwood is probably her best)
• Pinkyandthe Brain
• The Lordofthe Rings, and particularly The Silmarrilion
• Dollhouse
• Tori Amos
• Veda Hille
• Happy Rhodes
• Antonin Dvorak
• Johann Sebastian Bach
• Max Reger
• Antonio Vivaldi
• Dead Can Dance

I also read a lot of femslash fanfiction, major fandoms for that are:

• Buffy
• The Devil Wears Prada
• The Sarah Conner Chronicles
• Veronica Mars (what little there is)
• The Hollows (the Kim Harrison series)
• Popular
• Gilmore Girls (mostly Rory/Paris), but also
• Wisdomeagle's SVU/Gilmore Girls cross over where Alex goes to Star's Hollow in witness protection, meets Lorelei, and they fall in love.
• Xena
• Kim Possible

I'm currently watching:

• Castle
• Bones
• Glee
• Warehouse13
• True Blood

and working my way through Stargate SG-1 (I'm up to season 8)
