electrogeek77

Currently married to an aeronautical engineer, and raising two adorable cats. I plan on going back to school to finish my Communications degree(had a big setback), so I can enter the world of Public Relations and freelance journalism. I love looking at fashion but loathe the fashion industry. My favorite movies are usually the cheap ones at Marshall's or TJ Maxx or the $5 bin at Wal-Mart. I have fallen in love with reading again - between this and the 80% off bookstore nearby, I am swamped. I am an extremely thrifty shopper and freebie fiend. I also do swaps on Swap-Bot(electrogeek77). I am quite crafty - mostly subversive crafts. I never dreamed I would own my own pinball machine, but now I've got Pin-Bot in my living room. Devoted to the following causes: autism research and support, mental health support, women's issues and animal rescues. I'm an athiest, but I never pass up a chance to donate to the Salvation Army(in memory of my grandparents, who were faithful members and did much good for the community). I'm in a mixed marriage - I'm an independent liberal, he's a moderate Republican; I'm a Red Sox fan, he's a Yankees fan. I love stationery, especially collecting postcards. I have a Zen Vision:M, because I hate Apple products. I have a lead foot in the car. The only show my husband and I can seem to agree on is Top Gear. I love spoiling people with presents and cards and letters all decorated with stamps and stickers. I love traveling, especially by plane - even the Boston-JFK-Madrid-Barcelona jaunt I took to get to my honeymoon cruise(tip: don't wear contacts on a transatlantic flight). I enjoy the subversive, the damned, the underbelly of society - I feel like I fit in with it. If I ever had cancer, I would want my first post-chemo meal to be cooked by Anthony Bourdain. I went to NYC in 2007 to meet Anderson Cooper, my journalism inspiration - it happened too easily, I wonder if it's a dream. If "philosopher" were a paying gig, I'd apply in a heartbeat. I like an organized mess in my home. The only thing that could convince me to live in the suburbs is if the house had an extra room for writing/crafts, a monstrous kitchen and a workshop so I can build things. I can create amazing delicacies and scrumptious desserts from scratch, but cannot for the life ot me make a piece of french toast. The social guidance films that bored students to death in the 50s entertain me highly. I love Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and the best part of watching movies at home is the ability to make fun of them. I hate pink things being marketed as the only option for girls/women, yet it is my color of choice when it's an option. My husband went on a rant about luggage fees and lost bags during our vows.

I don't even know if that's everything.

I'm obnoxious with this, because I don't necessarily have many definite fave groups and genres. I love Jamiroquai, Electric Six (I cross stitched them a "Gay Bar" tapestry, and I managed to get four of them to autograph it), Zero 7, BT (who hugged me and wished me a happy birthday last September). I frequently listen to disco, funk, soul...otherwise, I'm very random with my tastes.

Again, I'm obnoxious with this, but to name a few...Anchorman, Reefer Madness, Assassin of Youth, Sex Madness, Cocaine Fiends, Marihuana (no, I don't take drugs), The Atomic Cafe, Fritz the Cat, The Educational Archives series, Coming to America, anything Monty Python (including the predecessors Do Not Adjust Your Set and At Last The 1948 Show), so on and so on and so on...

Anderson Cooper 360, The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, the various Law and Order series...I can't remember the rest. I mostly watch OnDemand, Prelinger Archives and YouTube or listen to music.

Embroidery, sewing, cross stitch, knitting, reconstructing clothes, decoupage, fiddling with scrap parts, painting.

you got what I neeeeeddddd...

but you say he's just a friend...
