About meI'm five-and-a-half feet, one-hundred-and-fifty pounds of brown-haired, brown-eyed imagination. I'm always moving, always plotting, always writing, always thinking, always dreaming, always dancing, and always wondering. I like to see and know and understand, to trace things back and follow them forward. I'm a Romantic who thinks she's a skeptic, and a deist who thinks she's a catholic. I'm a Violinist who likes singing, a singer who's better off a poet, and a storyteller whose poetry is god-awful.

I'm also a dog-person who bird-sits and is allergic to cats and her friend's hair.

Also, I can kill a cactus while living in Tucson.

About my libraryWork In Progress. Mostly accurate so far, though, if you leave out music, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and several dead plants. Anything tagged "NIL" Is stuff that I've read and really enjoyed... but don't own quite yet, hence, Not In Library. Also S&H is not Shipping and Handling. It is, in fact, Swords and Horses... which is not (for those of my relatives reading this) a particular series, but rather a style of Fantasy novel.

Much better, although your capitalization is still suspect --- that, however, I can write off as a protest of religion and an exaltation of music --- or, at least, the violin (which it may or may not be, but that's irrelevant).

I realize I didn't ask: how goes it with you?
I'm well! Avoiding a paper by responding to this, at the moment --- overall I'm doing great! I've had a good semester, and only one class I really disliked. Would have dropped it, but it would have been... awkward. One of the teachers is my advisor. Anyway.

Address is:
P.O. Box 286
Hampshire College
893 West Street
Amherst, MA 01002

(yeah, it's five lines with my name included... annoying, since most online places have space for no more than three!)

And finally, yes! I'll be back for Christmas, if not for very long. I come back the 18th and head back the 4th.

Actually, not done. Looking at your description above, I have some, uh, questions: "foreward," god-aweful," "realatives," "freind?" Capitalized "violinist" but not "Deist" or "Catholic?" Really?
I discovered the page on LT where you can see which people have the 'favourite authors' in common with you, and you were at the top of my list :)

Are you still going to add your Buffy books and music books and dead plants?
...
That's the type of fantasy I like. When I read fantasy, I read the S&H kind most of the time, and I guess you could classify the novel I've been working on as historical fantasy (but also could be considered Swords & Horses I supppose). I've never heard it referred to as Swords and Horses before. That's interesting.

That's good to hear that there are some that really loved Feast for Crows. I was kind of worried because a lot of reviews I have read have been mediocre. I will probably read it starting next month, just in time for Dance with Dragons next fall. I've heard that Feast for Crows, actually, doesn't include the North at all and focuses entirely on the South. The North and the characters from the North are my favorite, so I'm sure I'll miss reading their story lines, but that will make Dance with Dragons that much more enjoyable.

I was reading your About My Library section. What kinds of fantasy novels do you consider Swords and Horses?

Always nice to find other fans of Martin. I still have A Feast for Crows left to read in ASOIF. How did you like it?

And of course, you have to love CS Lewis and Tolkien.
