The Gav-em-who-a-what?
The Gavemina. To explain the whole story would be far too complicated, and potentially dangerous to your health, so we'll keep it simple. I have two very good friends who, initially, questioned my right as Goddess of the Geeks. Later, when they found out I was in fact too geeky to challenge, we decided our powers were of much better use when put together. So you have me + Gav + Em = Gavemina. We, together, make up the geek tri-force, which goes a little something like this:

Geek the Mother

Geek the Daughter

Geek the Force (Or, Holy Force)

Thaaaat's right. Your level of concern is rising, is it not? Just remember: Don't Panic. We're harmless. Well, Mostly Harmless, at least. ;)

I don't blame you: I wouldn't want to listen to me babble on about my boring life and people you probably don't even know either. So for those of you who just want the basics, here are my general stats:

Favorite Quotes: I am easily amused. I quote things. A lot. Are you sure you want to go down this road with me? I will give you only but a few...
"Where's Elizabeth?"--Will
"She's safe, just like I promised. All set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So really we're all men of our word... except for Elizabeth who is, in fact, a woman."--Jack --- Pirates of the Caribbean
"Got news for ya. I'm down. I've got the 411. And you are not going out and getting jiggy with some boy, I don't care how dope his ride is! ...My momma didn't raise no fool."--Walter --- 10 Things I Hate About You
"Have you ever seen it, Aragorn? The White tower of Ecthelion, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver... It's banners caught high in the morning breeze. Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets?"--Boromir --- Fellowship of the Ring
ARTHUR: Just keep me covered. TIM: Too late! [chord] ARTHUR: What? TIM: There he is! ARTHUR: Where? TIM: There! ARTHUR: What, behind the rabbit? TIM: It is the rabbit! ARTHUR: You silly sod! You got us all worked up! TIM: Well, that's no ordinary rabbit. That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on. ROBIN: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared! TIM: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide, it's a killer! ???: Get stuffed! TIM: It'll do you a trick, mate! ???: Oh, yeah? ROBIN: You manky Scot's git! TIM: I'm warning you! ROBIN: What's he do, nibble your bum? TIM: He's got huge, sharp--he can leap about--look at the bones! --- Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I think that's about enough for now.

I got this in an e-mail several years ago and thought it was a very cool idea. It's my personal philosophy that you can learn the most about a person just by listening to the music they listen to, because that's when they're being the most honest and free with their emotions. So, if I could write the soundtrack to my life, what would it sound like? The following are songs that describe me or my life the best (for the most part; unfortunately some of my favorite bands have absolutely nothing to do with my life, or reality in general, so there's a couple songs thrown in there that don't have anything to do with anything. You'll know which ones they are because they usually don't make any sense. Come on, it just wouldn't be my soundtrack if TMBG wasn't in there somewhere!). Of course, apparently my soundtrack would be 62 songs long (Ooh, a triple CD set!), so let's just call this the "Greatest Hits" version. I reserve the right to add to/take away from this list at any given time.
