All About 'Me'

• Age – as of a few months ago, 28.
• Hair – black and curly, varying from short to long depending on when I last gave in and cut it.
• Eyes – blue under the glasses (very shortsighted).
• Height – 5’6½”
• Build – ample.
• Profession – Emergency teacher (Primary) or CRT (Casual Relief Teacher), which is a Substitute Teacher to Americans and an I-don't-know-what to the British.
• Financial status – constant edge of poverty (what else can you expect with my job?).
• Favourite food – chocolate!
• Favourite Modern Conveniences
• the Microwave Oven,
• my VCR
• my Computer, and especially the Internet.
• Favourite pastimes
• reading fantasy, science fiction and fanzines
• writing fanzines
• playing with the Internet and reading Newsgroups
• eating chocolate
• What do I normally write? - letters, poetry, essays, book reviews, jokes, in fact anything except stories. I haven’t written more than a dozen short stories since I left Primary School, and I wouldn’t inflict any of them onto the unsuspecting public without a very good reason (like people asking!) I’ll stick to poetry.
• Favourite New Toy – the Internet.
• Favourite lurkingplace on the Information Superhighway
• Usenet
• Favourite Newsgroups ON the Usenet
• aus.tv.buffy
• aus.sf.babylon5
• but especially alt.fan.dragons
• Most  frustrating thing ABOUT the Usenet
• Only being able to get through the Newsgroups as fast as I can read, and having to use two different providers to get all my chosen groups.
• Current Fannish Commitments
• FAPA
• ANZAPA
• BWA
• Out of the Kaje
• MSFC meetings Friday nights
• Why did I want to take on a website when I already had all this on my plate? Ummm, I'm an idiot? Well, I write a fanzine called Out of the Kaje and various people have been nagging me about 'going electronic', and then I got this free webspace...
