In the words of River Song: SPOILERS!

[momebie]

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.


There's an alternate version of that photo, because my flist realized that the look would be more effective if you could actually make out my eyebrows. You can see that version here. But really, I'm one of Those People. It almost doesn't matter where I am. I make inappropriate comments and laugh too loudly and altogether just enjoy myself much more than people have deemed Appropriate. I would apologize, but I fear it would come off as rather insincere.

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.

Hiya. I'm doing the whole MLIS thing too : ). I'm almost done with it. Good luck this season!

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Hello there! How have you enjoyed it so far? I know several people who liked it, and one who hated the work in school but loves her job now.

And good luck to you as well.

[spinfrog.livejournal.com]

I WAS HIDING UNDER YOUR PORCH BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

hmmm, can I consider that to also be your answer to the very important question or "cats or dogs?"..?

[momebie.livejournal.com]

The answer to that question is always dogs. I don't trust cats. Which is just fine since cats don't seem to trust me. We respect each other and keep our distances.

[brilliant-snark.livejournal.com]

SPOILERS! ;)

I like all these things. They are things I look for in friends. Friends who are clearly as...interesting...*pause*...as me.

CAN WE BE FRIENDS?

(My introduction would obviously also include "is a giant weird spazz.)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

UM YEAH. I WOULD BE PRETTY ANNOYED IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE MY FRIEND. YOU DON'T GET A CHOICE.

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

I LIKE MY BUSHES SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED.

>.>

Goddamnit, you are my favorite KL of all.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I AM EL, KAY EL. *sinister gaze* (When you type it like that it looks like I'm related to Superman. Fun fact! Superman's mom is a librarian called Lara. THE MORE YOU KNOW.)

That's pretty convenient, because you are DEFINITELY my favorite Margaret. *smishes*

[matthewbowers.livejournal.com]

I can sing! And I'm teaching myself piano! CAN I JOIN YOUR BAND??

[momebie.livejournal.com]

YES. Now we just need someone who plays sax! I mean, I play sax (probably better than I play guitar, actually), but I don't own one and haven't practiced in years. SO. WE WILL BE NEEDING A THIRD. (And possibly a fourth. A trumpet would be nice.)

[sullenspirit.livejournal.com]

From one ADD to another, Hi!

[momebie.livejournal.com]

HEY! LET'S GO RIDE BIKES!

[abstruse-fangrl.livejournal.com]

You had me at:

Unlike the Doctor I am most definitely rude AND ginger!

But then you said:

Thing the third: I want to own a bar/bookstore.

THAT is an awesome idea. I hope you're able to make it happen one day because I would so go there and enjoy the vibe.

Also, being a hug whore is the best way to be. :D

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who love for everyone! *high fives*

That's part of my motivation for opening the place, really. I know exactly where I want to hang out, and I have yet to find this place. Whenever my writing group finds a nice indie coffee shop it inevitably dies and we're shunted back to a Barnie's or something. Orlando just doesn't sustain the kinds of places I want to be. Hence the moving, really. There is one indie coffee house that does quite well, and I really like it there, but it's a different kind of atmosphere than I'd ideally go for.

*tackles*

So uh, I was lurking in your journal about five seconds ago and I noted that we have Things In Common. So this is kind of forward for me but, friends?

[teenagewitch.livejournal.com]

I would love to own a bookstore too as I read way too much. And you might want to move out from under the porch, I think the cats annoyed ;)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Me too. I could probably start it with the books in my apartment. I just love them so.

Eeep! Cat! *scurries off*

[fortitudehigh.livejournal.com]

I'm a fan of your headings ^_^

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. My life is pretty much a comedy of silly and sometimes inaccurate headings.

[callarkhamquick.livejournal.com]

Have you read the Robins In A Band AU? It may Appeal To Your Interests and has gorgeous art to accompany.

I have also decided that everyone awesome I know is or has been in Portland.

Also, I love Dick, though he was the last RObin I loved. Tim was first, then Jason, then Steph and at the time, there was no Damian. Also, tell me you read Secret Six or have at least seen the Nicola Scott art of Dick because Whoa Mama.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I have not! Is it on a list you've already give me? I'm just slow!

I haven't been to Portland yet. I'm really going to try and make it next year to make sure I'm not just being silly about the whole thing. I'm sure I'll find it to be fine.

AND I HAVE NOT YET READ SECRET SIX! I know you're shocked that I haven't gotten around to something. :p

[ficwize.livejournal.com]

SO THAT WAS YOU MAKING ALL THAT RACKET LAST NIGHT!

*shakes fist*

Damn kids.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

SORRY! I'LL TRY AND KEEP IT DOWN TONIGHT!

Would you like to borrow my cane? You can shake it at me.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

HI KL! I'm a terrible person who went and skipped ahead through all the entries I haven't read yet to come find this.

It's awesome to get to know a bit more about you! (Beyond look for a blond who answers to Peter, which was a horrible description.) I'm looking forward to your entries!! :)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

HI MEG! Same here. Although, the pirate hat was wonderful. ♥

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I totally LOL'd at the alternate picture.

Enthusiastic people rock. Especially when they're enthusiastic about the things I am when I want to work with them on projects. This is only mildly related to your intro ;)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Haha, do you have some exciting projects you're getting underway?

[wyliekat.livejournal.com]

I JUST watched the River Song "spoilers" episode with Matt Smith last night. It's like your intro post read my mind. ;-}

[momebie.livejournal.com]

My blog posts are all psychic. You may want to cloak any materials you would not like shared with the world. *squints* ESPECIALLY THAT ONE. D:

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

Oh it was YOU under my porch! Next time just knock on the door ;)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Yes! Sorry about that. I was worried you'd be a little surprised about the stranger at your door.

[nila-rena.livejournal.com]

And those are all reason why we love you. ;)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

At least someone does! :p

[lioht.livejournal.com]

Please start that band so that I can buy your records! Also, perhaps my imaginary band can support you? We are called Urgent Algebra and I play the xylophone. My solos are EPIC.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

OH. I bet your solos ARE epic! And you are MORE than welcome to join us on tour. Woo! I love nerd bands!

[gaea-rising.livejournal.com]

While your under my porch, just remember not to crush the carnivorous plants my downstairs neighbor is growing on his... ;p Glad to meet ya!

Good luck!

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I'm actually kind of pressed up against the wall trying to escape the carnivorous plants. Do you think you can send help!?

Thank you. Good luck to you as well.

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

Enthusiastic is the best! Ridiculous is almost as good... I am so looking forward about reading more from you!

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Ridiculous is kind of the only way I know how to be. I tried being serious, I really did!

[liret.livejournal.com]

I would totally go to your bookstore/bar.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I would love to see you there!

[alphaloria.livejournal.com]

Beautiful drawn-in eyebrows..haha

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I'm like Amanda Palmer...with absolutely no artistic talent. *shifty eyes*

[horosha.livejournal.com]

"I WAS HIDING UNDER YOUR PORCH BECAUSE I LOVE YOU."

This made me laugh out loud.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Mission accomplished!

[sra33.livejournal.com]

"but I wanna be GINNGERRRR!!!!" awesome reference! ^^

And your last line was particularly awesome as well. ^^

Pleasure to meet you! Can't wait to get to know you better. :)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I can't wait till the Doctor goes ginger!

Pleasure to meet you as well. Welcome to the insanity. :p

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

You're I love Dick and I'm easy comments made me giggle. I can tell I'm gonna like you already!

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Haha. I'm glad my loose morals please people! :p Hi! I'm excited about posts!

[tentaclecore]

WHILE YOU'RE UNDER THERE, SPRAY FOR ANTS, WON'T YOU?

This is great fun, I hope you do well this season ♥

also: GERARD WAY ♥♥♥

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I HAVE BEEN METICULOUSLY KILLING EVERY ANT I SEE. IT'S MY SMALL WAY OF GIVING BACK TO THE WORLD.

And thank you! I hope you do well too!

I JUST LOVE THAT BAND. AND THEIR STUPID FACES. I CAN'T HELP IT.
