even though liara was the person who brought me
here, i have met more freaks in real life than she
has. this is largely because of the advantage of my
location.....when i was back home in california last
summer there was a gathering being held a mere
4 hours away from my house, so i tagged along at
the last minute, and realized that i am not
completely antisocial, i just don't care to hang out
with most of the people i meet in real life. *l* takes
a certain kind of freak to get me out of my shell.
*nods* of course i do have many wonderful friends
from oregon house and grass valley, so i suppose
that is not the complete truth, but i find i often feel a
certain affinity with freaky type people that i don't get
from, say, the people i meet at school. hmm, that
was a bit of a tangent. this is going to end up
being more rambly than i had intended.
what to say, what to say? i am an unenthusiastic
philosophy major (because hey, schools usually
make you major in something) and would
eventually like to go into teaching, despite the
horror stories i've heard around here. i don't want
to do high school, anyways. i much prefer the
littluns. third to fifth grade would be ideal for me,
but hey, i might change my mind, it happens a lot.
i've always enjoyed fantasy, but wasn't really a
regular reader of it until i came to the FFF, mainly
because i never knew which authors and series to
seek out. now i have more recommendations than
i will ever have time for. *g* i have always loved
reading and books in general, of many genres, tho
i am not too interested in non-fiction usually (bah to
reality i say).
there are currently three other freaks sitting in my
room. liara, my roommate, is sitting on my bed
doing her homework. arakasi, her boyfriend, is
lounging on our futon reading. jade, my freaky
visitor/pseudo roommate while li is otherwise
occupied, is sitting in my wonderful lovely comfy
chair reading. what does this have to do with
introducing myself? not a whole lot, really, i'm just
not quite ready to stop rambling yet. i still attest
that i am allergic to mush, but i haven't been giving
jess and chris too much trouble over their displays
of mushy-gushiness on this particular visit, as i
suppose i'm not really allowed to anymore. *sigh*
it was so much fun while it lasted, though. the
object of my (completely non-mushy, of course)
affection is in georgia, but he will be here in a bit
under a month.
and now i am all rambled out. jade and i are going
to see the brotherhood of the wolf tonight. has
anybody seen that? how completely grossed out
am i going to be? *dislikes bloody gorey stuff*
ta!

i haven't been here for quite a year yet, tho people
sometimes seem surprised when they realize that.
i guess that's because i just rather jumped right on
in here as soon as i was introduced and forced
people to acknowledge me. *l* now i feel like i've
been here forever, although i am very quickly
reminded otherwise when people start
reminiscing about old times and i have only the
vaguest idea what they are talking about. *l* i am
in my second year of college at lewis & clark
college in portland, oregon, where i room with
jessica/liara, who i am forever grateful to for
bringing me here. i am originally from california,
two very small towns. grew up in one called
oregon house, which pretty much had one grocery
store and that's about it. *l* lived there for fifteen
years until i moved to grass valley. according to
velessa, visiting me there is like going camping,
but after living in oregon house most of my life it
seems pretty big to me. *l*
