I like books, good conversation, good food, Hendrick's gin, and naps. I like smoking, too, but I quit when my nephew was born--I figured I'd feel just TOO stupid trying to explain it to him someday.
I knit. A lot. It's funny how the people who tease me the most about knitting are always the ones who end up begging for a pair of hand-knit socks...
I play World of Warcraft. I blame my evil Uncle John, who gave me my first hit. To those of you who have never played: DON'T START. I swear to god, it's virtual crack. Start drinking instead. Or smoking. Seriously.
I used to love gardening, before WoW. Now my yard looks like a crazy person lives here.

Heroes
Uh, HEROES? WTF??
My heroes are only heroes because of what they've said:
Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness. --Bertrand Russell
Between them yawned the chasm that divides those who have drunk champagne before breakfast and those who have not. --Helen Cresswell
I have always disliked being called a "genius." It is fascinating to notice how quick people have been to intuit this aversion and avoid using the term. --John Lanchester
