The Most Important Thing:
Me: A nearsighted, asthmatic, left-handed former English major who somehow became a fanartist.
My Journal: With the exception of art, flocked. I friend those I've corresponded with or have otherwise met, but do not respond to blind friendings. If you'd like to be friended in return, please PM me with a comment as to how we know each other and I'll be happy to friend you back!
Loves: Anything and everything to do with NASA, manned spaceflight, and aviation in general. Astronauts, astronomy, astrophysics, natural sciences. Meteorology -- storms and tornadoes in particular. Mies van der Rohe's architecture. Photography. Cartooning. Baking. The awesome (but sadly departed from fandom)
lilchibibunny for accidentally kick-starting my artistic Muse -- bb, wherever you are, you have no idea how much that means to me. The superawesome maichan, quickreaver, and becc_j, fabulous artistic souls who encourage me to keep on drawing -- and listen to me whine about it.
Also? Macs RULE!

Favorite quotes:
"I am but mad north-northwest. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw." - Hamlet
"What fresh hell is this?" - Dorothy Parker
"Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke." - Bette Midler
"Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole." - Dean Winchester
"I'm getting too old for this shit." - Roger Murtaugh, Lethal Weapon
"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" - Margo Channing, All About Eve
Other stuff what I love:
SPAAAACE!
Andromeda, the galaxy that will one day collide with ours and make life very interesting. Bring it ON! ;)
This rock sure is pretty from 238,900 miles away . . .
Beautiful bird is beautiful.
Poetry in motion.
Pure poetry.
More poetry in motion . . .
. . . and even more . . .
Two of my favorite characters.
. . . and two more.
. . . two more.
. . . and these here guys, too. ;)
Personal Note the First: To lay it out there and avoid any unpleasant surprises on anyone's part . . . I'm a bibro-leaning Dean/Jensen!girl who adores Jared and loves Sam, so ragging on Dean, Sam, or either one of J2 is very much unwelcome in my LJ. I fangirl Supernatural, and Supernatural is Sam&Dean, as brought to you by the incredible chemistry of Jared and Jensen. Without them both, there would BE no Show. Just sayin'. :)
Personal Note the Second: This LJ is slash/het/gen-friendly. I read, rec, and art for J2, Sam/Dean, Dean/Baby, gen and het, so if any of those pairings squick you, or if you're offended by images of beautiful men displaying affection towards each other, squicked by boys n' girls together, or allergic to JDM or Danneel . . . you might wish to reconsider the wisdom of visiting this journal. :)
Personal Note the Third: Opinions, guys. As the saying goes, "opinions are like assholes -- everybody has one." Everyone who chooses to comment on this journal is welcome to share their opinions. But do remember that your opinion (or mine, or the other person's) is no more right or wrong than the next person's. Intolerance of opinions that differ from your own . . . is NOT welcome here.
