1 person has a crush on me!

Just myself .. if you care, please ask. Fun loving, non-BS tolerating wench! I love dressing up, I like to be silly, and attention is fun, but don't judge the book by its cover. You are much more likely to get a positive response from me if you start up a convo about my interests, rather than just shoutin' out 'hey sexy' or worse. Just something to keep in mind ...

I still read Goodkind even though the Sword of Truth series has gone rather downhill since he started getting preachy. I was, however, pleasantly surprised by Chainfire.
Tolkein bores me to tears (liked the movies though), but he did provide a basis for some damn interesting worlds by other authors.
I repeat - If you put it in front of me, I will read it. It may not be first on my list, but I'll devour it soon enough.

Video Games
I love RPGs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... yeah ok, they released it too soon and it had so many bugs it was practically unplayable .. but still - I have to get my entertainment from SOMEwhere
... Yeah, ok so Diablo and D2 aren't really RPG's but they satisfy the need to explore and kill things while looting to my little hearts content
... Anyone remember the really really old Pool of Radiance and accompanied D&D games that ran on DOS and loved ot crash your computer? Where you had to turn that damn wheelie thingy just to log on everytime?
Speaking of DOS ... text gaming is where I began and will always hold a place in my heart. The ZORKs, HITCHIKER'S GUIDE, LEATHER GODDESSES OF PHOBOS yeah baby, that's the stuff .. I still pull out mymany-times-recopied-onto-different-media CD and run through those puppies.
OK, add on all the assorted expansions and modules and most of the stuff n the same genre (bunch more on the POR kick, for example). The only one I really can't stand is Morrowind. I freaking HATE that interface.
OK, I'm tired of listing now. ;) game on
Your ParachuteCharles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience!One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said,"You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk . You were shot down!""How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb."I packed your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said,"I guess it worked!" Plumb assured him,"It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says,"I kept wondering what he had looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat; a bib in the back; and bell-bottom trousers. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor." Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't know.Now, Plumb asks his audience,"Who's packing your parachute?" Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. He also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory -- he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety.
Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason. As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachutes.I am sending you this as my way of thanking you for your part in packing my parachute And I hope you will send it on to those who have helped pack yours!Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a word. Maybe this could explain it: When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do -- you forward jokes. And to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get? A forwarded joke.So my friend, next time when you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile, just helping you pack your parachute.......Have a great day.....
