Coffee & toast.

Forgot the personal stuff. I'm a native San Franciscan & moved to the East Bay six years ago, now live in El Cerrito. I love my adoptive home town, which has art galleries, music stores, musical instrument stores, a sex shop, a gun store, and "Playland Not At The Beach," a museum for an amusement park I went to as a kid. I used to work for a messenger company as an order-taker, and have been looking for work for over a year. I turned 50 last month, and am single. No children, parents both gone, and I have a brother. Politically, very far to the Left.

Favorate movies include Miller's Crossing, Casablanca (because I am the World's Biggest Sap), Maltese Falcon, Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and Local Hero.

Music: Love John Cale, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Johnny Cash, '70s punk, Velvet Underground, etc.

Favorite novel is "The Name of the Rose." Non-fiction would be the Communist Manifesto or anything by James Connolly.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hello, Fern! Welcome.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Look at that. You go from lurker to cereal poster! That's awesome!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Hi there, Fern! I'm sure I've seen your pixels around here before!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Hi Fern!

Yay, lurkers posting!

Hi Fern!I haven't seen Local Hero, but I like all the other movies you listed a lot, so I'll have to check it out.

Hi, Fern!

At last to guess, instead of always knowing.

Hello, fellow-lurker Fern! The Name of the Rose was one of the twenty books I carried around the world with me, and Nick Cave is probably my favourite artist. Mostly I read science fiction though, and in my case Nick Cave is surrounded by, like, Depeche Mode and Blondie and The Smiths (shut up, I will be sixteen forever), but nice intersection anyway!

Thank you for the warm welcomes way back when, everyone. In particular: thanks Ouise, and you should totally let me know when you're next in Montréal; I'll definitely try to muster up the courage for a coffee or glass of wine. And sooper seekrit message for megan walker: Montréal would be a great city for an F2F. Maybe by the next time it rolls around to the East Coast I'll be properly decloaked and can pimp it for real.

patiently waiting for new delurkers to declare their love for, say, The Sisters of Mercy and Gene Wolfe, so I can pipe up again*

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Welcome, Fern! You remind me, I have Casablanca and Maltese Falcon patiently waiting on the shelf for me to watch them again.

Shambles, I like Sisters of Mercy... (note gratuitous use of ellipsis)
