An Introduction Post of Sorts
Aug. 31st, 2007 04:15 pmI should probably do something like this every several months, just because. :-) And please don't mind that this is kind of all over the place ... that's just my style.
Anyways, I'm Carly -old as dirt 34, living in San Francisco and I'm an insurance geek. In other words, I'm the person you call when your insurance rates skyrocket, you have a claim, or you've been spending a rainy afternoon reading your policy (oh, wait ... those were my clients in St. Louis).
I was born and raised in St. Louis, and moved to San Francisco in March 2004, for a "change of scenery" (read: to move in with my girlfriend - and to get the hell out of the midwest), even survived the Mormon Church - yes, just like Brenden Urie and Brandon Flowers have also done. I still live with my girlfriend, Kellie (
sigmaration) and her two cats, Teak (a solid, stocky black cat ... I call him the "Angry Black Man") and Cleo (a rather wussy ginger tabby, that I call the "Red Menace").
Yes, I'm queer (lesbian, whatever you want to call it) - and Patrick Stump has stolen my gay. And from what I've seen / read, I'm not the only one with that problem. Yes, I still have the occasional boy crushes, and I've got several gay boys in my life, whom I love dearly.
I like dirty jokes; music (everything from Willie Nelson and Norah Jones to Metallica and Guster); say "dude" way too much; occasionally swear in front of small children (much to the chagrin of their parents); tend to read two or three books at the same time; watch too much (sur)reality TV; enjoy comedies (Airplane!, Meatballs, Zoolander, among others); make it a point to see any Pixar and Tim Burton films that come out; have an unrepentant love of Hello Kitty, and I love Lewis Black and Patton Oswalt's comedy.
As for this blog, well it contains all kinds of things - talk about the everyday, the good, bad and indifferent, and whatever else comes to mind. I have a couple of filters, which helps me to keep you all from wanting to kill me because you don't want to read about my adventures in slashfic, my musings on sex or my slogging through therapy.
If you want to join any of the filters (and I think several of you are already on the fanfic one), let me know, and I'll add you! :-)
That's all I can think of for now - if there's anything else that you want to know, just ask me!
