quickie lil' Spooky-FAQ

[elionwyr]

Since I've had a healthy lil' bit of growth on my friends' list, here's a quickie FAQ (sporadically updated - edited as of 8/28/09_

Hi! *waves at monitor*

I'm a writer (samples of my work are on my website - a haunter (I work in and help build and run haunted houses) - I currently work in a greenhouse and lo! I am poor! - I was a zookeeper for 11 years and miss it very very much - I resonate to Runes more than any other oracle - I live in a teeny tiny town in western PA just south of Pittsburgh, but previously was in Philadelphia for about 18 years - I'm Floridian by birth.

I'm frequently squirrelly, intelligent like whoa, and I reluctantly carry the title of being an anxious depressive.

I think and talk very quickly; generally I also talk very softly, so if you are talking with me and you can't understand me, you are always encouraged to ask me to speak in human-speak. I will not be offended.

I own a hearse named Bartok.

I read voraciously, when I have the time. I also make dreamcatchers and custom-themed umbrellas; additionally, I go on little fits of doing cross stitch.

My fandoms of choice are Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes; I collect books on vampires; my brain's default mode is generally Victorian.

I have a tiny part on a horror host TV show here in western PA called Midnight Monster Hop. I play a Russian vampire named Madam Spooky; I get to introduce rock videos. (I am the undead Martha Quinn!) If you know of a gothy/rockabilly band that has music videos they'd like to see get on the air, let me know!!!!

I am currently unattached in any official way, though there are Potential Somebodies in my life and I'm not actively looking to add to the list. I have an ex-husband who I agonize about much too much. I have a black cat named Lurk, and he is very often the center of my universe.

Questions? Ask!

The Care and Feeding of Elionwyr

I am very very very literal-minded.
Therefore, if you promise something? Especially if it's support?
Don't not do it.
I can forgive a great many things. And I do. But lack of emotional support when there have been repeated promises to provide it? Dude. So not a good thing.

(I realize that I should not judge the world by "how I would handle things" standards. OTOH, my expressions of Love do include, oh, flying to stay with Story in the hospital. Most of the people I love would - and have -done the same thing with no hesitation. Which, I suppose, is a high standard to meet. And if you can't meet it, say so. Because it's much much worse to have me hold on waiting for support that doesn't manifest itself.)

...In other words, don't lie to me.

Also, if you have a question about me or my behavior?
Ask me about it.
Don't assume you know what's going on in my head. I'm a Gemini, for heaven's sake - there are times you are NOT going to be able to keep up with my brain.
I am hard to offend, and I do not like to fight. Assuming things about me - and accusing me of the things you are assuming? You're getting offended AND fighting all in one fell swoop. It will end relationships. And it has.
Spare us both the stress, and just talk to me.

/ETA

And I have a guestbook I'd love you to 'sign'.

And welcome to my LJ. :)

I have one of the most infectious smiles around.
I am one of the most 'generous with my time' people as you are ever going to meet.
And I blush a wonderful shade when people tell the truth about me.

You forgot to tell everyone that you are instantly likeable, you have a smile that lights up the room, you're more intelligent, wittier, and sharper than most people I know, you have the most BEAUTIFUL eyes, and you're just DAYUM SEXAY!

You're even cuter when you blush ;).

*Hugs back*
