My Profile

Location:
Hollygrove

About Me Librarian at heart, Storyteller by vocation, Wench by nature.

Music A grab bag of different stuff-- classical, classic rock, Renaissance music,some hard rock, folk... I even like a smidge of country (a very small smidge) and a pinch of Rap (tiny pinch).

Movies The Mummy, Princess Bride, Mel Brooks movies, black comedies, Dogma, Divorcing Jack...

TV Very little TV gets watched at my house aside from Stargate reruns and Ghost Hunters. The Sci-Fi channell and History channell are the most watched... then there's the Brit TV: Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Keeping up Appearances and Chef are tops on my list.

Books Terry Pratchet, Neil Gaiman and Robert Asprin top my list. Rowling, Brooks, Weiss and Hickman, and Elizabethan Mysteries are faves unless I've got a book about Egypt in my clutches. Then just leave me alone once you've brought me my coffee.

Likes Honest, open, mature people, and a good debate. The smell of a campfire, a good story, a cool faire day...and...DUH, A GOOD BOOK!

Dislikes People who use made up words because they want to sound like they're intellectually superior. Normally, they haven't the brains to look up the word to see what it actually means, and use it incorrectly...thereby inspiring another idiot to use it incorrectly (because they're too important to look it up as well)...which purpetuates the use of words that are not words at all.... Bottom line...? If I hear you utter the words 'irregardless' or 'orientate' in my presence, I will slap you with a herring.

Hobbies Reading, sewing, reading, singing off key, jewelry making (for garb), sewing, reading, disc golf, and blogging.

Vices eh...how much space have we got?

Virtues I'm.......em. er... let me get back to you on that.

All over the news -- print, radio, TV-- it's there every day: how we're so outraged at the gas prices, and that we need to cut back.

Truck and SUV sales are dwindling, and hybrids and smart cars are gaining popularity because John and Susie Q Public don't like paying $4 and up for each gallon of gas.

People aren't taking long summer vacations -- prices of everything is going UP because of rising fuel costs...

Can someone tell me WHY there is still a half dozen motor sports that happen every weekend? NASCAR alone has scheduled 2-4 events per MONTH for the rest of the summer, and into the early fall. Then there's boat racing, motorcross, and all kinds of other gasoline powered vehicles that have races...

Fans cars, Trailers, motor homes, TIRES, the racing cars, etc etc etc... all using gallons and gallons of gasoline. Ok, so the racing cars might be really good on gas-- but if the race is a 500 mile circle, how much is really saved? And this goes on nearly every weekend.

So....the USA is hurting, huh? We're really suffering, right?

Right. When we start to curtail even some of these activities in order to actually make the attempt at saving fuel, then I'll beleive the US is serious about fixing this whole oil issue.

Priorities.... I know.

But until then, it'll just be your family, and my family, that has to cut back on our leisure activities.

Obviously, other people don't have a problem.

We've got SPIRIT

We've got Spirit, YES WE DO

We've got Spirit, HOW 'BOUT YOU?!?

or maybe it should have been: We've got cleavage, yes we do...etc?

We walked, we laughed, and we had a GREAT time. We got rained out, but not till the last couple of hours, so we survived the lion's share of the event.

And in the end, the IWG Local 57 Team -- a FIRST YEAR team, won the TEAM SPIRIT award for the West Chester Relay For Life.
