heavenly geekness!

I have informed Fernando that he should attend Worldcon in August--I'm going to buy his membership this week. It's not cheap, but having Worldcon held in the city where you live is probably a once in a lifetime event. The guest of honour is Neil Gaiman, and it's where they hand out the Hugo awards (to read some nominees, go here). It's all veddy exciting.

5 me's

My new fave game on facebook is the 5 Things application. I highly recommend. Here are some of mine...

5 Must Haves in my dream home:
composting, cat walkways, green energy, wall to wall bookshelves, big windows
(obviously the windows and bookshelves can't be on the same walls)

5 Things I want to do before I die:
I realized... there's almost nothing. I'm sort of a take-life-as-it-comes gal. The one I know for sure, to be published. I'd like to do my San Fran trip. I'd like to get my apartment clean (don't want to leave Fernando with a messy apartment.) I'd like to meet Oscar Wilde (anyone have his fax number?) And I'd like to see Wonder Woman finally turned into a goddamned movie!!

5 Things that always make me happy:
Sunny weather with clear skies and a cool breeze; Star Wars; writing; cats; people I love.

5 Movies that made me cry:
Bambi, The Fox and the Hound, The Rescuers, The Joy Luck Club, and ET.
(I would rewatch the Joy Luck Club, but will never watch any of the others ever again.)

5 People you want on your side in a bar fight:
Rorschach: he elicits fear as soon as he steps into a bar
Spike: he would enjoy himself
Echo: who knows what skill she'd suddenly whip out!
The Borg: really, you could dispense with everyone else if you had them
Yoda: if I wanted to fight, but maintain a moral center as well.
