Attention - Please Read

Please don't revert the occasional edit from IP 66.177.43.138. That's probably me being absentminded again. Execept, of course, if the changes are blatantly vandalism. If in doubt, please leave a note on my talk page. I'm on at least once every day, I promise I'll respond. Thanks in advance. - square_pear | talk 01:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Caution - Under Construction

This page is a mess and is in the process of being organized. My userboxes will be separated into categories, with the possibly objectionable ones going in a specifically created section (see below) and the rest either going in relevant sections or below the User Profile box. Babel boxes will stay under the profile. Until things are sorted out, please bear with me. As always, I welcome spelling and punctuation corrections, but, for the time being, please don't change anything else. It'll only confuse me more.

Also, if anyone knows of a way to fix the edit links for the sections parallel to the user profile box or just above and below the userboxes, please leave me a note on my talk page, email me, IM me, anything. It's driving me nuts!

The Non-NPOV Zone

This is where I'm going to put my non neutral userboxes and statements (political, religious, etc.) as an honest disclosure of my possible unintentional biases. This is in good faith.

Contact Me

Besides my Talk page, you can find me on AIM as hippietrekker and on Yahoo Messenger as thepear06.

Interests

I am a bookish self-proclaimed geek with science fiction and leftist politics fixations. I read and write science fiction stories, as well as some general fiction. I blog, and my first and primary blog has been up since 26 September, 2003. I like to keep up with current events and prefer reading the news online. I am also hopelessly addicted to Wikipedia (I've only recently joined, before I just read it voraciously), NationStates, and online political quizzes. I have a profound obsession with David Hewlett.

Television

I watch far too much television. I'm a fan of a dizzying amount of shows, but I won't subject you to the full list. I'm a big science fiction fan. I'm a Star Trek fan; my favorite series are the original and Deep Space Nine, but I watch every incarnation except Enterprise, which I have... no comment on. I also love Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica (both original and reimagined.) I've also recently gotten into Doctor Who.

The shows I've been watching recently:

Doctor Who
Family Guy
Futurama
The Boondocks
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
M*A*S*H
Blackadder Goes Forth
As Time Goes By
Good Eats
MythBusters

News

I am a news fiend. I get my news primarily from the internet (BBC International News and Yahoo! News.) TV (C-Span) radio WJCT

I've recently become a NPR fiend. I listen to WJCT. I especially enjoy Car Talk and A Prairie Home Companion.

Music

My all time favorite bands are The Velvet Underground, The Clash, and Wilco. In March 2006, I attended my first concert, Wilco at the Florida Theatre here in Jax.

Books

My Favorite Books:

Articles to Edit or Create

Converse College (it's a stub with only two sentences! Edit: There's a department list now, but it's still short.)
Visual Thinking Strategies (or VTS; a method of facilitated discussion of art with beginning art viewers. I recently atttended a workshop on it, there is oodles of information and literature written about it out there, yet no article yet!)
Hannibal (it's tagged as needing copyediting, I can do that.)
Stuart M. Kaminsky (The fact that this man does not have a Wikipedia page is an affront to his voluminous body of work. I looove my Rostnikov and Toby Peters books.)

My SPUSA Userbox

I'm pretty sure all the other SPUSA userboxes are getting deleted. I just whipped this one up for myself. I'm keeping this in case they stay deleted. Whatever.
