You and I and me and you

[cherry]

There are a few of those "getting to know you" memes floating around at the moment, and I've realized something.

I know very little about a number of you. A rather larger number of you than I'd like, as there's been a bit of growth in my friendslist lately.

So, tell me about yourselves. Please. I really want to know. What do you do, where do you live, which is your favourite band? Tell me about your first dog or how you got here or why you friended my journal.

Tell me a little about yourselves, please. If you have any questions, I'm more than willing to answer them myself.

Um...right now I'm kind of stressed out and depressed, but it's all situational- I have no job, and temping sucks rocks through a straw. (I'm trying to get back into the publishing industry.) Usually I'm cheerfully pessimistic.

My favorite singer is Thea Gilmore- she is absolutely amazing and I will be seeing her in concert at the end of the month. Also, Richard Thompson is a guitar god who writes amazing songs. I recently sent a friend of mine (who I have never met) two mixes which she loves. :) If you would like, I'd be happy to send mixes to you as well.

Um...I'm a science fiction geek (I work at a science fiction bookstore on Saturdays) and I love going to SF conventions- though not the media ones. My favorite authors are Emma Bull & Peter S. Beagle. I recommend books to people even when I'm not at the bookstore. My favorite tv show of all time is Farscape.

I have long red hair which was short for many years- it made me look like a tweleve-year-old elf so I grew it out. Now I look like a fifteen-year-old elf. I'm 27. I have three wonderful younger siblings. I grew up in Lexington, MA. I live in Somerville, which is close to Boston and one of the most densely populated cities in the US- it seems that everyone I know lives here. People from this area often don't move away- it's full of geeks and such. It's a very nice place to live- I have three housemates who I get along with. My landlady lives below us and has a magnificent garden. There is a gape vine growing along the fence.

I'm left handed. My room is almost always messy, but I enjoy helping my friends clean their houses. I write strange stories set in Boston, but I've been too stressed to write lately.

I 'met' you through ds fandom. Your stories are excellent so I friended you.

Um...I talk a lot. Which I'm sure you'd never guess.

1. I've always thought working at a book store would be neat. I know I'd end up spending my cheque on novels, though. I'm not so much into sci-fi, with a few exceptions (Firefly!!!), and I'm on a bit of a literature kick.

2. I had my hair about an inch and a half long for a few years, and my driver's license photo is from the awkward growing out stage. It doesn't even look like me. (I'm also wearing glasses.)

3. I, also, tend to cary on. At great length.

4. Aww, thank you. I'm always surprised when people like my writing.

5. If you would like, I'd be happy to send mixes to you as well. Oooh. I'd love to trade you a few mixes. If you let me know what genres you love/hate/tolerate, I could key it a bit more specifically.
