If you want to meet me at WisCon!
Sunday, May 22nd, 2011 08:31 pmBetter Late than Never!
1. I am fairly short, middle aged, with blonde highlights.
2. I tend to be reserved in new situations, and more extroverted when I'm comfortable. WisCon brings out both of these aspects, sometimes within minutes or hours of each other. I like meeting new people, but I have to psych myself up to approach them.
3. However, I am approachable, and (usually) touchable. If I approach you, you can assume I found you compelling in some way, and will accept a hug or other form of friendly, platonic touching if that's your thing. If it's not, I am willing to keep my hands to myself, and I do try to remember to ask for permission before touching someone.
4. I don't have allergies or sensitivities to speak of (except some ragweed/pollen things), but I can be sensitive to strong scents. So I generally wear/use non-scented products, which I hope makes me user-friendly to my friends and acquaintances that do have allergies.
5. Given an opening, I will talk your ear off about food, beer, liquor, my job and fanfic. If I don't notice your eyes glazing over, it's totally fair to say, "Whoa, info overload!" or somesuch to shut me up.
6. This past year I didn't read a single one of my bookclub's (Beer and Marmalade) selections. I read nothing that wasn't work-related or fanfic. But I still love science fiction, and WisCon.
7. WisCon is where I get my balancing dose of female interaction. I work in a male-dominated environment. I love me some fangirls, and I love dancing and squeeing and snuggling with them. Sometimes I'll even steal a kiss or two.
8. I go by Goldy all the time, including facebook, but it's not my given name. DW is generally my space for fannish discussion, LJ is my space for RL discussion/ranting, but I have the same handle both places. I'm also fullygoldy at hotmail, AOOO, Flickr or anywhere else (I don't Twitter or Tumblr yet, and don't plan to).
9. I'm snarky and sarcastic, but I save the overt meanness for asshats. I swear frequently. Please don't apologize to me for cussing. If you're going to use the words, you need to own them. We're all adults here, right?
