Bio:Aaack! The pressure of describing myself in the smallest possible number of words. How can one possibly come off erudite and witty in such circumstances?

Well, I can't so here are some mundane details instead...

I'm a wife and work-outside-the-home mother to one child, one cat, one puppy, two hamsters and innumberable dust bunnies in unmentionable places. I like love to read. I like to think I read in a wide variety of genres, but the truth is I've never read a western OR a book with a military setting. I like to laugh. I like to wonder about the mysteries of life and how it's possible that with all of the millions of stories already told, there are millions more just waiting to be born. I like music. I enjoy learning new things, though I'm starting to find that this generally means older things become pushed out the other side of the brain when this happens (Jeopardy is now a painful string of "I used to know that!" and "it's right on the tip of my tongue".)

I've been doing this less than a year and still haven't figured out if I intend to have any particular "purpose". But it's been so fun seeing what interests other people, occassionally writing about the shiny object that's caught my wandering attention, not to mention marveling at the wonders of fanfic that I think this will be my primary form of to-the-world journal-y expression for the forseeable future.

So. Welcome. This is a pretty quiet and casual corner of the cyberworld, so feel free to come and go with your snacks and beverages at will. And feel free to comment whether I "know you" or not.
