Fine fine fine

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

[There. I've memed.]

I am Brant. I went to Northeastern, graduated in three years, and am now a paralegal for the Attorney General's Office. I plan on going to law school, and I also plan on moving to Los Angeles, hopefully in that order. I'm remarkably bitter, cynical and jaded, given my age. I detest gin.

Although my heritage is from the Middle East and I was baptized Coptic Orthodox, I went to Catholic school because my parents felt it would get me a better education.

Palm readers often have a difficult time with me, because my head and heart lines are fused in my dominant (right) hand.

I'm too lazy to do memes like this.

But I'm no less scared of naked Bill than you.

I'm fatally allergic to peanuts.

But you may already have known that, so here's another one: When I was a toddler, we lived in Cambridge with a cat named Cat. Well, Poes, but that's just Dutch for cat.

Caffiene barely affects me. I need to drink 10 or more cups of coffee in one day before I get jittery (I've checked), and in winter I'll have a cuppa just before going to sleep to warm me up.

I grew up on the Allegany Seneca-Iroquois reservation, because my father is full-blood Seneca. I hate the term "Native American" for its incredible lack of accuracy.

Although the themes of science fiction still entertain me, a teenaged overdose on Heinlein has all but eliminated my reading of science fiction paperbacks.

The living room and bedroom in my first apartment looked remarkably like the ones I'd described for Lisbet on TinyMUD some years earlier.

Despite being a foodie I dislike anything food-ish with a squishy/rubbery texture. This includes mushrooms, tofu, shellfish, and alligator.

I am Amy. I was Bryant's surrogate little sister in college, and (although he mangled the story horribly), I am the innocent in innocence.com. I'm in Seattle now, mostly grown up, but still a picky eater.

I was told as a child that for every new food you try, you add an extra day to your life. Without that, I would never have known that I enjoy: Bulgur, sushi, haggis in cream, haggis out of cream, kashi, dulse (a kind of seaweed used in soups or as substitute bacon in BLTs), venison, antelope, bear and squirrel.

I have a huge soft spot for the original Muppets movie. I saw it twice during its original release as a relatively wee tyke (this was quite rare), and bits of it have stuck with me ever since. (IMDB comments suggest that it might even stack up to my childhood memories, which would be very cool.)

It may still be the only Hollywood movie I've seen more than once in first-run theatres.

I like spinach. :)

My friend Arja's cat is called Meneeer de Poes! And when I was a kid we had a cat called Katty (but that was because she was a second hand cat, and arrived with the name Sophie Darling, which my mother could /not/ countenance.

I am Chrysoula.

I anthropomorphize letters and numbers.

You were surrogate little sister to several of us! :P
