all about me without really saying much...
Oct. 3rd, 2005 11:38 amWell, since I have a bunch of new friends, am avoiding doing both my work in the office and writing (I blame allergy pain on this. Uh-huh), and well, I'm bored, I decided that I would post a list of little facts about me. These facts will probably say very little about the actual person and I'm not falling for that "just list your social security number for fun - I won't use it" trick again.
1. I'm Tommygirl. Sort of. It's a nickname that I can't get rid of - I've tried. So I use it in fandom. As for my real name, I was named after a Jane Austen character. It always bugged me as a kid because they never had brushes or pencils with my name on it, and I don't recall the romper room lady ever seeing me in her magic mirror. However, now I've grown to love my name.
2. I'm a Jersey Girl. A South Jersey girl. I do not talk like Violet from Coyote Ugly nor do I dress like Stephanie Plum from Janet Evanovitch's mystery series.
3. I am polyfannish - I go on at great lengths with the squee sometimes on many a show and often like to dabble in writing in those fandoms.
4. I love Joss Whedon. That doesn't mean that I've agreed with every decision he made for some of his shows, but I've always enjoyed the ride. I think he's smart and witty and really appreciates his fan base. It doesn't hurt that I would love to one day create characters nearly as important to people as he manages to do.
5. I love Kevin Smith. He's a Jersey Boy. He's inappropriate and smart and sarcastic. He doesn't take himself or his experiences too seriously. He's just...I will always love him for creating Dogma if nothing else.
6. I'm a very *whatever* type of girl. I don't expect people to agree with me on things and I'm always open to other points of view. I do, however, dislike insanity that serves no purpose. Anyone who feels the need to use the internet as a weapon against other people - you're a waste of my time and best to stay away from me.
7. My first love was Rick Springfield. I used to dance around my living room when I was five years old singing "Jesse was a friend...yeah, he's always been a good friend of mine."
8. I like original characters. Original character does not equal Mary Sue. I see nothing wrong with utilizing them in a story and often times find they can add something interesting to the fandom world.
9. I'm a television addict. It's gotten worse over the years with my ownership of TIVO and tv-shows-on-dvd.
10. I'm in fandom for the pretty boys. I make no qualms about this. It's all about the pretty boys for me. I'm shallow and fickle and love the idea of two hot guys making out.
**
So much writing to do, so little time. I need to get back on some sort of schedule outside of work. I've been all over the place and illness and emergency room visits have not helped my plight.
Oh woe!
Small confession to make: I sorta like Ghost Whisperer. How sick is that?
