LJ Idol 0: Average Everyday Sane Psycho Supergoddess

[bewize]

Introduce myself, eh?

If I knew myself, keeping a journal wouldn't be nearly as much fun, now would it? *grins*

So, here are some basic statistics. Single. Female. White. Educated. Liberal. Cat Owner.

I know someone just said, "Oh, it's that girl who's going to be the crazy cat lady when she gets old!!!" *eyes the readers* Anyway, back to "who I am."

I have a job. (Aside: Why is it that most confuse who you are with what you do?) In fact, I not only have a Job, I have a Practice. I "practice" law, and it's a good thing it's just practice because God knows sometimes I don't have a clue what I'm doing. (Which brings me to the point where I should say that I keep my LJ mostly locked, to protect myself from being sued for the occasional incompetence, the random nastiness, the oft-justified cattiness, and general bitchiness about my Boss and Co-Workers. I will be leaving therealljidol entries open to the public, though, because that's the point. *grins*)

Let's see - normal family stuff, divorced parents (that I love but who are crazy enough to have made me the way I am), a sister (who goes out of her way at times to give me gray hairs... on purpose, the way siblings do), a half brother (best to leave him out of it), and a step-sister (who made things interesting by the being both the youngest and the only one married). Etc.

Well, that wasn't terribly enlightening, so I shall change tactics. From basics to peculiarities, shall we?

I like (*deep breath*) - concerts, the louder the better; cats, especially opinionated ones; books about everything from archeology to zoology, with vampires and demons and bears, oh my! in between; real mayonnaise, although I've switched to olive oil mayo after a brief stint with reduced fat mayo and vegannaise; socks that fit just a little too tightly; shoes that are just a little too high; people who entertain me (and I'm easy entertained); the smell of fall leaves and wood smoke; the Atlanta Braves (shut up! next year is our year!); the feeling you get right after you go to bed and you're all stretched out and comfortable; compliments, especially if its someone telling me that I've lost weight; open ended questions about nothing in particular; intelligent discussions in fandom; Christmas trees and sparklers; and, mostly, feeling like I make a positive difference to someone in someway.

I don't like (*equally deep breath*) - ill-tuned musical instruments; most reptiles; poetry (I know, I know, but I don't give a damn about any urns, Grecian or otherwise); food that masquerades as healthy and isn't; socks that are worn all the way up the calf; crocs (yes, I know they're comfortable, but so are sweat pants and I don't wear those in public either); close minded bigots; the smell of cherry medicine (or anything cherry now, because it all smells like medicine); fair weather fans of any sport; all nighters, especially if it's for work; being nagged about things I don't want to do; comments designed just to score points off someone; stupidity in general, but especially on the road; post-Thanksgiving dishes and government holidays that most people don't get; and, especially, feeling helpless in the face of someone I love suffering.

Phew. I guess that gives you a little bit better of an idea. Maybe? Possibly? How about some favorites? Though these are subject to change on a whim.

Favorite color is green. Favorite band is U2 (although I like pretty much everything when it comes to music). Favorite food is Mexican. Favorite pastime is writing. Favorite thing to do while hanging out with friends is sitting in a pub and chatting. Favorite car is a Mercedes 500 XL Convertible. Favorite TV network is USA (Burn Notice and Psych FTW!), followed closely by BBCA (Torchwood and Primeval!). Favorite vacation destination is London, UK.

I don't know if this is helping you get to know me or making you think that I'm *this close* to being locked in a loony bin. So, let me sum myself up as best I can and let you get on your merry way.

~ I like people. I've met few people that I didn't find interesting and even fewer that I didn't like.

~ I like experiences. I have few pictures in my house because I don't dwell on the past, and look forward to doing something else, different and better.

~ I want to travel and see the world.

~ I want to be the best friend I can be and the best person I'm capable of being.

~ I want an adventure, and I want it to be grand.

Oh, and one last thing. When I die, I very much hope that it's in such a way that my tombstone can read, SHE WENT WITH A BANG!

So, if you've read all that, let me finish up by saying that what you see is what you get. Otherwise, what's the point?

Thanks for reading and I look forward to making new friends!

Now you ahve a point I haven't thought of... I also despise laws that have no rhyme or reason to be enacted at all!

I am new in the game, and I look forward to more entries of yours. Good luck to you, too!
