Fantasy Facttion.
And yes, anyone who needs a place to stay for Worldcon 2016 is welcome. If the kiddo is not here from August 17-21, we have a guest room (geek kid, with twin bed) and a HUGE basement with a bar, and we can accomodate several people -- a couch in the living room, several people in the finished basement (bring airbeds and/or we will beg them off friends, we will also probably have a couch in the basement by then) and a backyard for grilling/drinking/hanging out.
And -- ahem -- my birthday is August 23, so early bday shenanigans!

I was OK with the color pink until the last semester of high school. Then I discovered The Cure and The Smiths and Sisters of Mercy, and dyed my hair red, and also discovered -- or rather, let free -- my inner sarcastic bitch. Since I was bullied for being a geek for years, I associated pink with the weak kind of femininity, and that I decided, was not the woman I wanted to be.
Years passed. I have my flaws, my weaknesses, as does everyone, but I became known as a strong woman, a touch chick. A guy I had a crush on called me a "gladiator" -- he meant to be flattering, but since I had a crush, I was taken aback.
My nickname, among my close friends, is "Captain," because I am a take-no-shit, take-charge woman. I'm forty-two years old now. I AM a strong woman. But I have made my peace with pink. It doesn't lessen my strength or turn me into a stock-character fainting damsel in distress. I look GOOD in pink.
And for my forty-third birthday, I am going to get my fifth tattoo: "Captain."
In pink ink.
