My Space Intro: Something to Remove the Boilerplate

Welcome to the My Space page of
Researcher 172204, Tegan[-1+(7^2)-2-0-4=42]
I thought I might never have anything to record as an introduction , but I did want to remove the Boilerplate from "My Space", so here are links to some spots around here that have been helpful:

I'm going to have to learn that GuideML right away, I can see.

Well, OK, as it appears that any real contributions I'd want to make to on-line conversations are likely to mean posting this stuff anyway:

Vital Stats: I'm female, married, born in '57, Collidge Edjikatid, and live in a fairly conservative midwestern city (that means kinda near Chicago) in the US.

Dislikes:

Hummel & Precious Moments figurines , and the effort to be polite when I realize someone I like enjoys them. ANYTHING twee.

Sentimentality (see http://www.brothersgrinn.com/soulless/hiss.asp" >http://www.brothersgrinn.com/soulless/hiss.asp )

Rudeness: people who don't thank me when I hold the door for them, e.g.

The use of apostrophes to form the plural or the present tense ("apostrophe's" and "whine's all the time"); the use of quotation marks for emphasis (Oh, I "really" hate that); "I" as object ("...to Tegan and I...").

Fantasy , or at least the damsel and dragon and stilted-language stuff.

Novels that preach instead of explore

Organized Religion, proselytizers for any religion, people who try to convince me that I can't really be an atheist.

**************************

Most of what appeals to me has a bit of an edge to it, but I'm generally a pretty generous-spirited person. Definitely an optimist. The quote I use in my sigfile follows.

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die
any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."
-- George Bernard Shaw
