hiddenmuseI thought I'd write something to kind of get people up to date on who and what I am - especially since I've gotten some new friends lately! (And since this was written in 2007 ... maybe it's time to update this!)
Cast of Characters (and other stuff)
With me, you can get a general idea of who I am from reading the entries. An Insurance Geek by day, and still a geek by night. I've lived in San Francisco for six years now, before then, I'd lived my entire life (30+ years) in St. Louis.
I have some ADD tendencies (but, who doesn't?) - I'm notorious for reading 2-3 books at the same time, and if I actually finish a book, it's almost a miracle. If I'm watching a movie or tv, I tend to be reading a book or a magazine while the program/movie is going on, somehow managing to divide my attention between the two.
Raised Mormon, now not affilliated with any faith - I just consider myself to be a spiritual person.
In addition to this whole mess, I'm queer. (That orientation was stolen from my friend, Tyson) It's much, much easier than saying that I'm a "lesbian-identified bisexual" or a "lesbian that likes boys, too". Oddly enough, while pretty much everyone in my life knows about my sexuality,my family doesn't. Mostly out of fear of being disowned. Shitty, I know. I came out to my family in 2007 ... well, okay, so they kind of sussed out of me what they already knew. While it was kind of rocky, they are happy for me - and love and embrace Kellie as a member of the family. And when we got married in 2008, their biggest upset was not being invited to the wedding! (No one was invited, to be honest ... it was a very 'bare-bones' ceremony.)
Also, I have two separate filters - one for fanfic; the other for talk about sex and sexuality. If you're interested in either one, and you're not a part of them right now, let me know! :-)
I live with:
Kellie - My wife of almost 2 years (in July).
Cleo - Red tabby cat. Also known as Cleokins, Cleocles, The Red Menace and Asshole.
Teak - Black medium-haired cat. Also known as Teakers; My Angry Black Man; Teaker-san; Teakster.
Sometimes, you'll hear/read me saying a lot of odd things. Even the people that have been around a long time. So, maybe I should offer a "glossary" of sorts, to clear up any confusion (if there really is any)!
My Lovelies/Sexy Bitches - That would be you all that are reading.
Future Ex-Husbands - How I refer to my male crushes.
Pagan Babies/Gay Pagan Babies - I am, and will be, childless, so this is a joke of sorts. Usually directed at boy crushes, future ex-husbands and people I have intellectual crushes on (i.e.; Lewis Black).
Slash-Slut - I write (and read) band slash, as well as reading other slashfic. Since I have a crazy appetite for the stuff, I consider myself to be a slut. Besides, there's nothing better than two cute boys together. *eg*
Flame Dame - A nicer variant of "Fag Hag". Yes, I love my gay boys (see my prior entry).
Miscellaneous
I refer to myself as being a nerd, geek, dork, what have you. It's not meant in some evil, perjorative sense. It's just how I see myself. Hell, I'm fascinated by Fractals to where I have a favorite set (the Julian set); as well as an odd fascination with Klein Bottles - I love the idea that they exist in 4 dimensions. Don't ask me about the math behind them ... just go along with my fascination.
To add to my complete dork (batteries included!) status - I want to go back to school, just to take some random classes - Geometry; World Religions, whatever.
I'm painfully shy in person - I hate making phone calls, dancing in public, initiating conversations, what have you. It's so bad that I have to work up the courage to ask anyone for something - even something as mundane as stopping for a meal or going to a store.
I have epilepsy, which keeps me from driving. Even if I didn't have epilepsy, I still wouldn't drive - mainly due to an incredible anxiety. Also, I'd made a conscious decision years ago, that because of my seizures being a bit unpredictable and incapacitating my reaction time, I'd rather not drive. No matter how long I'm seizure-free.
While I don't plan to have children, I'm not going to be an asshole towards kids (or their parents) as a lot of childless people are wont to do. Besides, I'm looking forward to being the cool, slightly crazy aunt that buys my neices and nephews Vans tennis shoes, Ramones and Metallica onesies, and when they get older, they can eat cereal for dinner and watch cartoons in the middle of the day. I'd read to them, and teach them about others' faiths, beliefs and moral compasses. You know, the usual stuff.
Update for 2010 - Kellie and I are aunties! Our niece, Rylee, was born on April 21, 2009. Yep, it's her first birthday today! We also have a nephew, Drew, who was born on December 26, 2009 - or, as my brother calls him, "The Kwanzaa Miracle". And yes, we have been getting them cool onesies and t-shirts, as well as giving them all kinds of love across the miles!
That's all I can think of right now ... if there's anything else that you want to know, just ask!
