Name: Isis
Location: Burlington, Vermont, USA
Hometown: Jericho, VT (also Burlington, VT)
Birthday (sign?): October 29th
Age: 36
Sex: Frequently. .. oh, you mean my gender - female
Occupation(s): Program Support at the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at University of Vermont (how's that for a mouthful?)
Favorite Food(s): Red raspberries (fresh picked), steamed broccoli with fresh lemon juice on top...
Favorite Color(s): Purple, brown, green, pink (heck - I like 'em all!)
What is the wing speed of an unladen swallow? What kind of swallow? And are they flying into the wind or do they have a tailwind?? I can't answer this without more complete information!
Toys: Well, the kind I like aren't appropriate for mention here - but other than those - anything shiny and sparkly, anything that makes me think, laugh, snort milk through my nose...
Hobbies other than the obvious: Kayaking, reading, photography, any craft that requires creating with my hands
Education: yup- in grad school now (and having it paid for by my employers)
Favorite Book(s): Too many to list - authors: Tad Williams, Ursula K. Leguin, Robert Heinlein, JRR Tolkien, Neal Stephenson, Diana Gabaldon....I could go on and on (and probably continue to misspell names left and right)
Favorite Movie(s): The Princess Bride, Dogma, Jesus Camp, Raise the Red Lantern, most stuff by Michael Moore...
Godzilla vs. a Star Wars Star Destroyer. Who wins? Why? Neither - they are both destroyed by the USS Enterprise, which is subsequently destroyed by She-Ra, Princess of Power, Wonder Woman, and Barbarella, all working together to throw off the shackles of male domination.
Favorite TV show(s): Hmmm - just went a year without it - but if I had to pick: Buffy the Vampire Slayer!!!!, Xena, Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, House, How I Met Your Mother, probably Heroes (but first I have to see it)
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) I never plan on growing up, so I am pretty open on this one. Be happy, make enough money to be safe *(i.e. have shelter, food, medical care and enough in reserve to cover any emergency). Be able to travel to all the wonderful places I have always wanted to go to.
Favorite Music Artists/Composers: Ahhh geez - anything but Country & Western or thrash metal I guess. Techno, pop, hardcore, opera, classical, rock. . .
Do you think these pants make my butt look too big? Which pants are you wearing - and why would you care if I think they make your butt look too big?? For that matter - what is too big?
Favorite ice cream flavor(s): Ben & Jerry's Creme Brulee and Oatmeal Cookie Chunk (or something like that)
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?* Ovaltine thank you! My religion is personal and changes to suit my needs - call me a pagan (though I honestly can't stand Vegemite or Marmite if that helps...) But please don;t let me answer start any wars at all... processed food stuffs just aren't worth it, no matter what the cool kids say!
[*Please choose one. This is important as it is the site's equivalent to stating a religion. We have crusades, wars, mass conversions, cathedrals to Nutella, all that stuff.]

*dive-bombs the thread with Nutella slugs the size of small cars*
Ovaltine... *sniff*
to HoP!
BTW, never occurred to me to squeeze lemon on steamed broccoli (one of my favorite foods, too.) I shall try that.
