My dad was a career Air Force officer, 20 years, so we moved around a lot. I grew up all over the country, meeting lots of different people. I think it gave me a sense of independence because my environment changed every few years and I had to be adaptable. I also got to see how everything is connected -- region, politics, economics, etc. Dad's a Vietnam vet, so history was always really relevant to me, I've always seen historical events as something that affects individual people. And I also just really love reading and learning -- I have a Master's in English lit. My whole family is like that, so it all feels really natural.(less)

August: Fun

Word of the month: Fun

Just because we’re working hard doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy ourselves too. Make a little time for this and that. My local yarn shop was part of two different yarn crawls, so a friend and I got together and, well, we bought a lot of yarn. No, I’m not sure what I’m going to make with it yet!

And I’m going to Worldcon! It’s in Anaheim, so yes, I’m also going to Disneyland. That’s

“I'm a werewolf trapped in a human body."
"Well, yeah, that's kind of the definition."
"No, really. I'm trapped."
"Oh? When was the last time you shape-shifted?"
"That's just it - I've never shape-shifted."
"So you're not really a werewolf."
"Not yet. But I was meant to be one, I just know it. How do I get a werewolf to attack me?"
Stand in the middle of a forest under a full moon with a raw steak tied to your face, holding a sign that says, 'Eat me; I'm stupid'?”
Carrie Vaughn, Kitty and the Midnight Hour

“What the hell kind of name is Kitty for a werewolf?”
Carrie Vaughn

“Hey, Cormac. You ever have to deal with a PMSing werewolf?”
Carrie Vaughn, Kitty and the Midnight Hour
