I'm 26, female, mostly straight, involved, I recently moved to Michigan, but that's a long story, I can't for the life of me think of any significant details, but let's just say that I'm usually cranky and irritable, and even though I generally prefer nights, I've actually been seen around during the day, so the rumors about me being a vampire are TOTALLY unfounded.

Right now, I'm reading Neil Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, and Mike Resnik's Sanitago, both of which are excellent.

I also adore B5, and greatly miss it, I don't watch a lot of TV, but that was one of the shows I made a habit of watching. My current favorite show is "Who's Line Is It, Anyway," which will often have me literally ROFLMAO. Repeatedly. You should try it. It's good excercise.

More later, maybe, and nice to meet you guys.

I live in Maine and work in schools, though I am not a teacher.

My interests include all things Trek, B5, reading mysteries, playing with my computer, music (listening and playing), games of all kinds, and traveling to far away places.

I live in Rural Ohio on a small Mini-farm. I am 39 years old and some say a "complex woman". I'm sure many of you are either scratching your heads or ducking for cover when I get in one of my more colorful moods ;}

I live with two irritating males (husband and son) who seem to delight in raising my blood pressure sky high!

*sigh* Oh what's a warrior babe to do!

I've been at PF, right before the migration to cybersites. Spent three good years there. Now we're slowly moving here.

I enjoy SF, especially B5. Trek I watch, because B5 is over, but I grew up on TOS. And Lost in Space. OK, I'm old.

My favorite authors are Tolkien, Donaldson, and Zelazny, in Fantasy, and in that order. Otherwise, I enjoy Steinbeck, Poe, Twain.

In movies, I love comedies. Austin Powers makes me laugh so hard I cry. I'm an idiot for Monty Python as well. The Great Race is such an under appreciated movie, but oh so funny! Enjoy the Indiana Jones movies, and Star Wars as well.

Well that's me in a nutshell. No, this is me in a nutshell. Help! I'm stuck in this bloody big nutshell! Honestly, what kind of nut has a shell like this?

Well, I mostly lurked at PF (spit) and came to CS from day 1. Will this be the enw place Hmmmm....Ill give it a whirl. For those who know me, Im a tinkerer of sorts. I have some latent magic abilities that I am constantly challenging. Just ask PC or Merle how much trouble I can get into.

Like to keep in touch with my cyber friends & see what the 'gang' is up to, which is why I am pleased with the opportunity that Hostboard's Zoloco provides. (Thanks AsIs)

I have many similar interests such as has been stated by all of you. Culturally and literally I am sci-fi attuned, with a special fondness for Babylon 5.

I also believe that John Sheridan is a Chowderhead. Another B-5 observation that I hold is that I miss Mira Furlan. (A lot!)

Currently fill in my SciFi quality time with Farscape, Lexx, Andromeda, lots of re-runs, & large doses of Sci-Fi movies. I don't read scifi nearly as much as I had in the past but do enjoy a good read when time allows.

Ithink there's only 2 of you who don't know me.

Sindatur is a Grey Owl Wizzard. And has a lover named Honey Grey. My real life personna is a Materials Manager in Electronics.

I love Technicolor movies, Andy Gibb and the Carpenters & Alan Parsons, to Yanni, to Styx, to Jeff Lorber through The Scorpions and Metalica and back to Erasure, the whole Gambit, music was my life for quite some time.

I write Poetry and my honey and I collect Barbie dolls (no, not a strange hobby for a man, actually profitable and I know a lot of men who do)

...as in TheOne with Margaritas. Most know me as Wizzard, and I started my online community access from IRC rather than B-Boards. I'm just different in that way, I guess.

I'm interested in science fiction, including the Star Trek series (all of them, now that Janeway isn't as annoying), Babylon 5, Stargate SG1 and Farscape. Authors include Asimov, Heinlien (sp?), Niven, Vinge, and Bester. Then, there's Clancy and Cussler, too.

I live near San Francisco, and work in the communications industry. Outside of work and online tinkering, I like to drive and photography (ask about the flash I have sometime!).
Oh, yeah...I watched Star Trek TOS when it was originally aired, too...

I'm 30 something, female and have one cat named Tinker that I adopted last year. I live near Chicago, Illinois and yes it is getting very cold here. J

Nick origin: A fascinating novella by author Vernor Vinge. Titled True Names and written in 1983,
it foretold the wonderful world of the Internet. Erythrina was a member of an
on-line "coven" of hackers, and was one of the most powerful and experienced
coven members.

How I got here : A PF -P refugee from
quite another angle – ancient history – I posted at the on-line SPQR boards
and stayed there til stupidity from said PF -P drove us off. I made sufficient
nuisance of myself at another on-line community that I was hired to welcome
community members, make avatars, troubleshoot, you name it.

Vital stats: I'll be 45 next
March, haven't ever seen aging as a negative thing (perhaps because mental age
stays stuck at about 18 and I come from a healthy and long-lived genepool on
both sides of the family tree). Happily married, one 15 yr old son, two cats,
all living in the geographic centre (and on the sunny side) of the great state of Washington.

Favourite authors: I'll stick to
SF because I have such a great book addiction that I'll read anything and
everything..... Zelazny, Tolkien, Guy Gavriel Kay, S.R. Donaldson.

Favourite books: LOTR,
The Chronicles of Amber, Lord of Light, Tigana

Favourite musicians: Stevie Ray
Vaughn, The Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffett, Steely Dan, Enya, Los
Lobos, Dire Straits, B.B. King.... it goes on and on. I have a theme song for every occasion.

Favourite (recent) musicals:
"Miss Saigon," and --omigod! -- "Les Miz!!"

Favourite (recent) movies:
"American Beauty"

Favourite actor/actress: Kevin
Spacey, Emma Thompson

Current Job: "Self-unemployed" website and graphics designer and sometime remote Internet community welcome-wagon-type-person.

Ideal Job: Hey, I've got it. There's nothing more fun than doing what I do, with the people I do it with.

Likes: People. I love people. Good times, good conversations, preferably with chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate.

Dislikes: unpleasant, smelly or boring people. Needless stupidity and cruelty. And I hate liver too.

What I want written on my tombstone: "She made me happy."
