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.

I friended you because I was crazy with love over your "Six to Eight Months" fic, which is still one of my top five O11 stories. I proceeded to read your entire website and I loved it all. Your Dogma story "Retrogade" still gives me a lump in my throat.

Right now I live in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. I'm finishing my biology degree at the state university here on the G.I. Bill. After I got out of the U.S. Air Force in 2001, I worked at an Antarctic research station (McMurdo Station) until I decided to go back to school last year. I love living in New Orleans but I'll be moving on when school is done, because I have a very short attention span and I need to keep seeing new places. :-) I'm going back to Antarctica to work at South Pole Station for a year after I graduate. Gotta pay off those pesky student loans.

And because I'm so addicted to Livejournal and fanfiction, I am also very very grateful that even South Pole has Internet access. I'll be reading you religiously from there.

Awwww, thank you. You're too kind. (It's nice to know that *someone* read the Dogma fic, also. *G*)

I've always wanted to see New Orleans. Is it as overwhelming as people say?

Funny factoid: I'm actually doing a dual degree program, and the non-engineering one is in biology. Woot!

You're very welcome! Thank *you* for writing such marvelous fic.

New Orleans can be overwhelming, yeah. Since most people come here and spend the whole time drunk out of their minds, it can lead to some unpleasant scenes, and there is a significant population of hustlers and crackheads who like to bother the tourists for money. But the city is so easy to love, too. Its history is like no other city in the States. The food and the music are out of this world. I will miss it when I move away.

And cheers to your dual degree program! God, such a lot of work. Hang in there. *One* degree is hard enough for me. ;-)
