may I friend u in order to more easily remember where to find that freaky psycjic scheme??

[dexter_collins]

Well of course you may.

I've befriended you for being interesting and polite!

Steam punk, eh?

Have you read "The Difference Engine" by William Gibson and ... somebody else? It's quite good.

I liked Neal Stephenson's "The Diamond Age" a lot.

Stay cool!

and my friend gwyon_bach says...
william gibson & bruce sterling
coz he's reading over my shoulder

[dexter_collins]

YES! Of course! *hits head on keyboard* I've so many books it's lost in the mountains of paper surrounding me! Seriously. I looked and couldn't find it. I think the mess has become sentient like the pile of old leaves in Fraggle Rock that talked used opera glasses.

gwyon bach.... I've seen his comments before. The God user pic! LOL. That's it; I'm adding him too.

Looking at interests, I sure could have done with gwyon bach's moral support with the whole bi thing that upset so many friends (mostly the ones banned from/unaware of my LJ mwah ha ha ha) Diamond Age has cool body modification; as does Neuromancer. As for 'elf girls': couriernew and I had a discussion about Gelflings in a recent post of his. Gosh I miss the 80's.

Guess you know about the name thing, by now. Is there a name I can call you by, Misnim?

[emptyicebox]

that was no pile of leaves mister, that was the oracle!

Quicksilver? I'm trying to finish Cryptonomicon (sp?) before I start on the Baroque cycle. It looks heavy going! I read a lot but I prefer to read more books, than long books, if that makes sense.

As for reading my back posts - don't miss the one where I mailed a self-addressed pair of my underwear to myself, or the seamonkey fiasco. That was a good one. Some of the others are a bit - melodramatic and/or self-depreciatory.

I've only been at UC two years, I did my honors there then skipped to my PhD in Communication. Ah, building 9!

I'm with the Players Company there.

I'm flattered at the 'proffesional' bit before 'theater', but really I'm a pretty shoddy actor! I have nice eyes though.

Cafe slut and never done Babar? Wow.

:)

[dexter_collins]

Oh, and what pic did you pick?

("Pick did you pic.... pique did you pique...". Hmm. Fun to say. Time to practice my 'K's)

[misnim]

I picked the art deco building
