And now my questions from me favorite dyke!

1. I know you live in Alaska, but one thing I’ve never thought to ask is
if you grew up there. If not, where were you born and how did you get to
Alaska?
Nope, I wasn’t born up here, actually, though I barely remember living anywhere else. I was born in Columbus Ohio, and when I was 8 years old and the Ladybug was 3, my parents decided they wanted to pack up everything and move up here to work in the local church. So we did! It was the first ever plane trip for any member of my family, and we went from Columbus to chicago to Anchorage to Kenai all in one day. The biggest thing I remember about the trip was running through the Chicago airport, bags and little sister in tow to catch our next flight, and the fact that said little sister SCREAMED her bloody head off on the first leg, and the last.

We lived in a trailer at a boat yard where dad was a night watchman for the first year, and then my parents bought a 3 bedroom house – I lived there till 18, then moved out on my own a couple years before The Asshole and I bought the house two doors down from mom and dad. So I’ve lived on this street most of my life. The ladybug moved back two doors farther down from me for a few years, and now lives a whole 2 blocks away. *chuckles* for a while we considered renamaing our street “Family Way” specially when the sis and I were preggers.

2. Who are your favorite authors/writers? Is there a genre that you like
over others?
Wow. I have a lot, really – because any author that can make me “live” a story is up there as a fave. Among those are: Steven King, Terry Goodkind, Anne McCaffrey, Robert Heinlein. I enjoy all kinds of genres, but adore fantasy and horror. Some scifi, depending on how indepth it goes and if it’s more story then technical crap. But I’ll read just about anything once.

3. Where do you like to write the most? In the house, outside, on the
couch? Do you handwrite stuff and then type it, or do it all on the
computer?
I hate hate hate HATE to write by hand. My hand cramps up and I can’t write fast enough, and just UGH. hate it! Therefore I don’t really have a choice where I write, as I only have a desktop computer. *chuckles* So I write here at my desk where I sit in my comfy rocking chair with a cat or child or dog in my lap or on my monitor (er, just the cat sits up there. *L*) or nearby.

4. Since I know you’d like to live in California (and turn about is fair
play!), where else in the world would you like to live and why?
*LOL* Easy. Hands down – Ireland. I was there in ’86 on a work missions team and fell in love. The people, the land, the green hills, the fish’n’chips, the beer…. oh yeah. I’d live over there in a red hot minute if given the choice.

5. And what is it about the L-word???
Oh you HAD to go there! Revenge for the Star Wars bit, hm? *chuckles* Well, I love me a decent drama with loads of romantic dirt and betrayal and excitement. I fell in love with QaF when it was on – soon to be in it’s fifth and final season (SOB), and knew I’d love the L Word as well. While it does primarily revolve around Lesbians and their entanglements, it also explores other ideals and facets of their life – acceptance, work, friendships, etc.

Ok – I’m in it for Katherine Moennig, who makes my insides quiver. Not to mention the major amounts of BOOBAGE shown! Who can go wrong with boobage? I mean REALLY? And I’m a sucker for a soap opera, which is what this ultimately is. And did I mention Katherine Moennig? Oh – and Sarah Shahi who makes my heart pound faster. and the scenes of them TOGETHER.. omfg. *fans self* So hot, so sexy.

And on a less physical level, Katherine Moennig is really a fantastic actress – watching her portray Shane this year as she goes through her emotional upheavals and opening herself and becoming vunerable…. I just wanna hug her and squeeze her and call her baby…

So. heh. yeah. And dude – if you can be a star wars geek, I can adore my L Word. *LMAO*
