• In T-shirts, I take an XL
• In shoes I wear a 7 1/2 or 8 womens (wide, US)
• I have small hands. They are not child's size, but they're smaller then the average adult.
• I was born and raised in Southern California USA
• My favorite colors are Green and Orange. (And yes, I do believe that those two colors go together. But I think that when they are mixed, there should be more green then orange.)
• I sew and I've recently learned to knit.
• I prefer to knit with wooden or bamboo needles.
• I'm in Grad School
• I work at the Ren Faire on the weekends for three months in the summer.
• As fans go, I'm not "slashy"... If you don't know what that means, then just disregard this one.
• I like to go for walks/hikes and listen to audio books and music on my MP3 player. (Which is not an iPod, nor do I use iTunes. Not because I hate Apple, I just don't use them.)

• I don't really have a favorite Doctor Per sae... But I think it's obvious that I'm partial to 4 and 5. I also have leanings towards 7 for his delightful vaudevillian flamboyance. (He plays the spoons, who doesn't love that?) I love that 2 played the recorder. I think 3 had the best sense of humor. 6 wore spats and that was the only part of his wardrobe I liked, and even though I didn't like his coat I have to say that it was very cunningly made. 8 had the best voice. I love 9 because the force of his personality overwhelmed the ordinariness of his clothes. 10 I think is getting a bit needlessly messianic (to borrow a phrase from Douglas Adams), but I love his exuberance (and his coat, and his shoes).
• My favorite companions (in no particular order) are Sarah-Jane Smith, Leela, Jamie McCrimmon, Turlough, and Donna Noble. (A note on Turlough. He has a special place in my heart because he is so craven compared to... Pretty much everybody else. He still manages to come through when it is important, so it doesn't get in the way. But in dangerous situations he has the sense to actually come out and question whether or not it's a good idea to be there and shouldn't they leave? Of course they never do, but he keeps speaking up. It's rather refreshing.)

I'm in the process of knitting a Doctor Who season 12 The Scarf, I only have one skein of each color... I think that will be enough. It might be unwise but I'm waiting to see what I'll need before I spend more money on yarn for this particular project. On the other hand, if somebody were to drop a skin or two that matched a brand and color listed on that Ravelry page, I would appreciate it very much.

• I really love Sarah-Jane Adventures. I don't really have a favorite episode, but I'm really looking forward to the new season.
• There isn't anything about this show that I don't love or doesn't amuse the hell out of me.
• I do watch Torchwood. Though I would say it's my least favorite of the three.
• I love that it takes place in Wales. Part of my Mother's side of the family is from Wales and it's rare that anybody around here has any idea what that means.
• My Great Grandmother was from Merthyr Tydfil. (Which is where the warehouse from the episode Meat was. I've been told that it's the Welsh equivalent of New Jersey, but I lived for a bit in New Jersey and there are parts of it that are amazingly beautiful. So I assume the same is true of Merthyr.)
• My favorite Torchwood episodes are Countrycide and Random Shoes
• I'm going to miss Tosh. Owen, not so much. :)
