Disclaimer: I asked my flist what people should know about me before they get too close and this is what they came up with. This is actually a pretty accurate representation, for better or worse.

1. Some Boring Things To Start
Facts about KL that are almost incidental compared to everything else that follows: I am 28 years old. I'm the Book Drive Coordinator for the Orlando Nanowrimo group. I work for a textbook publisher doing things that AREN'T editing, which is something that eats me up inside. I love live music played loudly in dive bars. I'm making plans to move to Portland in 2012. I want to get a Masters degree in Library Science. I have a boyfriend. I'm currently working on two writing projects: a steampunk type novel I'm researching and writing with a friend and a scifi novel. I'm learning to play the guitar. My car, phone, iPod, and laptop are all named after anime characters. Unlike the Doctor I am most definitely rude AND ginger!

2. I'm Interesting
Though, usually when people say that there's a pause between the two words, and they make a face ( kind of like this. )

3. I Have Ambitions
I have lots of things I want to do in my life. Most of these things clash pretty soundly with each other, so I figure I'll just divide my life up into five year chunks and tackle them one at a time.

Thing the first: I want to start a band called Batmobile Beep Beep. It would be a ska(ish) band that wrote songs about the Batfamily. No, I can't sing. Yes, it will be amazing.
Thing the second: I want to work as a curator/head of research for a museum, gallery, or private collection. Hence the whole Getting a Degree in Library Sciences thing.
Thing the third: I want to own a bar/bookstore. This heralds back to college when I would spend a lot of time in dive bars drinking and discussing philosophy and art history. How great would it be to do that in a place WITH BOOKS?
Thing the fourth: I want to write a best selling novel.

4. I Love Dick
Dick Grayson is my favorite, okay? ~~Along with Gerard Way. And Max Bemis. And Castiel. And Gren. And Nicholas D. Wolfwood. And ALL CROWLEYS.~~ I started re-reading comics again (after a long time gone) a few years ago, starting back in on Bat stories with Battle for the Cowl. I was reminded about how much I really, truly enjoy Dick's character. I also really enjoy that they're keeping him on as Batman. I was so excited about it I made this t-shirt. Of course, I also really love Kate Kane. But I want to BE Kate when I grow up. I just have dirty, very wrong thoughts about Dick. (Okay, to be fair, I have dirty, very wrong thoughts about Kate as well.)

5. I'm Easy
I prefer to think of myself as enthusiastic! I just like things. And I'm very ADD (diagnosed and everything) so it's a lot of things. And a lot of people. I have a lot of love to go around. I share it freely. Also, I'm a total whore for hugs. Would you like one?

6. I'm Ridiculous (In All the Best Ways)
That means pretty much what you think it means. Also, I'm outside your window right now, shaking your bushes. I WAS HIDING UNDER YOUR PORCH BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
