More Proper Introduction:

OK, I am Dangermousie and this is my journal. No, my parents were not twisted, drugged-out hippies who could not come up with a normal name. I chose "Dangermousie" because I liked the Dangermouse cartoons (funny British series about a Mouse secret agent) and "dangermouse" was taken.

In real life, I do real life things and am happily married to the uber-amazing Mr. Mousie and am a new mother of Baby Mousie. In lj space, reality almost never intrudes and I spend happy hours obssessing over various fictional things and crushing on my Book/TV/Movie boyfriends. I am always looking for more recommendations. If they are attractive, angsty, and competent, I am in. Alphas preferred but not necessary. I am an obsessive with a short attention span.

More generally, currently I am obsessing about a variety of doramas (Asian miniseries) and angsty Western shows. Other obsessions are Farscape and Battlestar Galactica (two excellent scifi shows), and movies produced by the Indian film industry known as Bollywood, anime, Dark Angel (a post-apocalyptic scifi show set in Seattle with a lot of angst, leather and hotness), SERENITY a.k.a. "Best Movie Ever," Roswell, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, hot guys, 19th century books, sci fi in general and a whole other bucketful of stuff.

Yeah, I am a geek.

Now, on to my lj stuff:

Firstly: I have a bazillion interests and they have little in common. So if you are here because you like only one of things I post about, chances are not all of my posts will be on the topic you find fun.

And this brings me to a second word of warning: I post a lot. So just be aware if you friend me, my entries might be popping over on your "friends posts" page more often than you might like, if you consider that too much posting.

If you want to know about my personal life (I don't see why you would, since I know only 5 people on my flist in person), you are out of luck, since I almost never post personal stuff on lj. Vast majority of my posts are public and only a miniscule amount is friends-locked.

Also, I browse through people's ljs a lot and I might friend you if I find what you write interests me (dramas, BSG, Star Wars, Bollywood, Farscape whatever). You don't have to friend me back if my lj doesn't interest you. I am not stalking you and will not show at your door with a "Marry Me" sign written in blood, but just want to be able to find your lj again.

Yes, I am aware the above sounded pompous and was longer than Richardson's "Clarissa." C'est la vie. Or something.
