Rollerblading! Though I'm having trouble getting my butt in gear on a lazy Sunday. The weather is beautiful here, and I'm staring at the computer.

If I had the money, I'd travel a lot more, but there are things here currently eating into funds that mean that it isn't possible right now. *Sigh*

I'm a great outdoors kind of girl. I love the beach...swimming and playing in the surf, but I also love camping by rivers and lakes, bush walking etc etc. When I am home, I love my garden although I never have the time to do it the way I would like.

I also love reading and I write as well.

I like hanging out with good friends and family with a glass of wine and some really yummy food.

Mostly I just like doing anything with my family, spending as much time together as possible.

What, my name didn't clue ya in on that ?

Which do ya like more, lookin at the pretties, or the dino's?? You see the recent articles about bringing dino's back again? Are you for that??

I've been meaning to ask is the AU part for aura like you have the personality of a dino, or is it some reference to gold, or golden oldie? I thought the latter ones improbable, but thought I'd ask...

Have you guys noticed how many celeb mega couples are tanking recently?? I'm amazed at how many of 'em can't stay married for more than 30 seconds...

Don't ask me to choose between the two... other than
lookin' at dinos is about all we can do , and pretties are more... interactive.

As for re-inventing dinos....I'm torn. I'd love to SEE one, of course, living, but anything we make would be a Chimera, a weird lab experiment, at best. It wouldn't be a real dino, in it's actual environment, mingling with its own kind. A sad relic, twisted by man's brazen curiosity.

I guess I can relate. I get new beads, I'll spend an hour picking out special beads in the prettiest combinations... I get WAAAAY more compliments on the stuff I make than I ever do for the fancy gold and silver stuff.

Oh, and the thing I like about travel...

I like the excitement of knowing I'm going somewhere, and to some extent the travel- for the new and unexpected adventure aspect of it all(used to love flying, but it just stresses me out now). I have a love-hate relationship with actually getting to the destination, because it seems so awakening-ly surreal, and it satiates my curiosity, but often in a way that is less than my expectations... probably because I'm the one holding the purse strings, it's probably a LOT more fun to relax and let someone else handle that part...

Things I like:

Trad singing. Camping. Going to the beach. Playing in the water, ocean, lakes, rivers, streams, water is my element. Firefly, of course, talking on these forums and reading and reviewing Firefly fanfic, I'm well known for my reviews. My work, anything involving working with people with mental health differences or developmental differences, especially the touched ones, they're my favorite and why I do the work I do, my goal is to find a business partner and own the perfect group home someday. Playing freeform pretends. Going to Rennaissance faires and fantasy faires. Trinket and antique shops, you know, like the ones you find at the beach. watching TV and movies, reading novels, listening to good trad and choir music and chant. Eating, especially at resturants, but eating in general, yummy. Wooden boxes, tea sets, beautiful things in general. Ireland and Maui, my two favorite places outside of my state. Spending lots of time with family and friends. Humanity and love, I love deeply. History. Oh, and climbing structures, especially ones they let adults play on. Thrill rides.

Wow. Okay, posters, sure. I like a good poster, and have mounted and matted a few or more.

But how'd you get plates? I mean, you're not wrong, and that's the shocker. I have a pretty extensive collection of Fiesta™ Ware, both old and new, but mostly the old stuff from the 30s-50s. I love the colors and the simple and functional designs. I've also got some of the old Jewel Tea dishes, along with some Harlequin and Riviera Ware (both were also made by the Homer Laughlin Company, which made Fiesta, and came in many of the same colors).

We use the Fiesta Ware every day, too. It holds up great.

I've also got a few vintage McCoy cookie jars as well. I'm a big fan of art deco and mid-century modern design, so lots of this stuff just fits right in with the design motif of the house.

'Course, I also enjoy dogs, guns, and cars. But rarely all at the same time. :)
