tattycat met so many nifty-looking people on the last round that I'm giving this a try. :)
Name: Cross
Age: 32
Fandoms: Possibly not applicable, but I'll list some of the usual that I'm sometimes interested in: sci-fi (Old Trek, New Trek, Newer Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, BSG (the new one), Transformers (probably anything but Beast Wars); horror movies of most kinds, but not the "torture porn" sub-sub-genre; generally movies of many kinds, including historical, some romance (not romantic comedy), and various other stuff other male, Western humans usually give me weird looks for enjoying; self-identified (ex) military buff (largely limited to niche trivia, now)
Other Interests: I can and have taken an interest in all sorts of things. Computrons, but not so much now that I've spent over a decade being responsible for making them run on time. Specifically Linux, but now I'm gun-shy about even admitting it. Books, largely sci-fi and fantasy. Many things DiY: I've modded computer cases, made trivial furniture, done interesting home repair, and so forth. I don't know much about cars; sorry! I rather like learning and discussing history. What history? Human history, I suppose. I game (video games) in my spare time, but I'm not a Gamer, and I wish I had some nearby friends to pen-and-pencil with. I take the occasional interest in graphic design, but I'd never put my work up anyplace like dA. I know something about radios (as in ham, general radio usage, spectrum allocation), but until I have the money for another expensive hobby... I take a general interest in math and science, and one day I'll treat myself to a nice HP calculator and a copy of Mathematica.
What people can expect to find in your journal: Right now, a lot of posts about me, me, me. Most recently, hair-tearing experiences with Logitech and Verizon. When I run into really poor products or customer service somewhere, I'll at least toss up a warning. Any other time: whatever I'm thinking about. Sometimes work drama, sometimes a thing that puzzles me about a book I'm reading, sometimes a strange tangent about a thing I found cruising the odder and less-used footpaths of Wikipedia. Since I like helping people I consider friends, I also post on topics I consider myself at least semi-knowledgeable about: if I seem likely to know, ask.
Anything else: The two things that are largely off-limits to me-- as in I don't post about them --are religion and politics. These seem like a good way to have my hand bitten off at the shoulder, plus lose friends, so: no.
If you want to know more about me, ask away. I'm shameless, I am.
