[edit] Assorted personal trivia

• My childhood fears were of caves, the Incredible Hulk, a red fuzzy magnet on my grandmother's fridge, and the theme music to The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. I've gotten over most of these fears.
• I have an unhealthy relationship with my GameCube (who doesn't know I'm seeing an Xbox and a PS2 on the side). I still own and play my older Nintendo systems, including the original NES with a functioning Power Pad. Some of favorite computer/video games include King's Quest, The Legend of Zelda, Ultima, Katamari Damacy, and Gabriel Knight.
• I am trying to learn how to play the guitar, if by "trying to learn" one means that I occasionally pick it up and strum the handful of chords I know. Honestly, I play Guitar Hero more often than the actual guitar.
• I believe I am 4.8 standard deviations above the average height for an American female. In layman's terms: I'm really, really tall.
• I like orotund words and etymologies, and I enjoy any opportunity to reference my "worthless" education in religious studies, classics, and philosophy.
• I delight in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien and Joss Whedon.
• On 6 October 2006, my request for adminship passed, making me a sysop. Coincidentally, this was also the two year anniversary of my first edit.
• I occasionally attempt editing the French language Wikipedia: voilà!. Please feel free to mock my French.

[edit] Quote of the week (or so)

Pour n'être pas les esclaves martyrisés du Temps,
enivrez-vous; enivrez-vous sans cesse!

--Charles Baudelaire (Les Fleurs du mal)
