A Twist of Things to Come

motetus gave me five words. If you ask, I'll give you five words I associate with you, to pass the meme along. :)

Geekachicas That's my website, which you can see here. I blather on about it, sometimes a bit too much. I always post links to articles, and often whinge about how it's not going well, or about how ell it's going and how I really don't know how I'm going to top the content next week. But the truth is, it's a labor of love, and a huge blessing in my life. I collect cool people the way a magpie collects shiny things, and this website is my chance to show off my friends' work. It's awesome. Not only is it awesome because of that, but also because of the new cool women whom I've had the opportunity to get to know because of it.


Bruck Chun He's a minor character in the first few Jedi Apprentice novels that I totally co-opted for my fanfic/smut epic, Help Me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, You're My Only Ho (which re-imagines a popular Jedi character as a sex worker - I slay myself. Narf!). Anyway, Bruck is a major part of the subplot. This is probably because I have a thing for the blonds, and this one is actually described as white-haired, and fannon has amended to be dark-skinned, making him something of an anime hero in my head. This is how I drew him for HMOWK:




Writing This is a thing I do, that I can't NOT do. I consider it part of my father's OCD genetic legacy. When I discovered his stash of somewhat cryptic, obsessive journals after his death, I went back and took stock of my own growing stash of filled-up blank books. That's when I decided that, if I was going to be doing it anyway (can't stop) then I might as well try to get good at it. I've taken classes and joined workshops and slaved away trying to produce something that didn't make me want to hurl. While I might not be the best writer ever (or even the best writer I'll ever be), I've recently stopped gagging when I read my output. So that's a start.

Angry Cat My cat always looks pissed off in pictures, possibly because sitting for pictures pisses him off. So I made a Birthday Greeting that has become a tradition here on my LJ. Here is the original Angry Cat photo:



Parenting I'm a parent, but unaccustomed to thinking of it being a verb.;) Most of my parenting involves exposing my kids to great masterpieces of geekdom, ranging from Firefly to Speaker for the Dead. I'm also homeschooling. Last year I used curriculum, but this year I've been making my own as we go. This usually involves letting my son exhaust his interests/pursue his obsessions with some forced learning thrown in around the sides just to keep the subjects that don't interest him as much from falling by the way. So far, so good.
