Hey all. Jumping on the bandwagon of introductions here: I'm Grace, the one with the black glasses (they're green on the inside!) and hair somewhere in the blonde range of colors. You may or may not be able to recognize me from that description--but my name will presumably come up in class at some point, so it's all good.
About me... I call myself a writer, though I don't think I write as much as I really should. Even when I spend what ought to be a satisfactory amount of time writing (read: one part writing, three parts staring out the window waiting for words to appear) I still berate myself for not being productive enough.
I'm also a reader! I'm one of those people who dislikes reading more than one book at a time; something about jumping between multiple storylines bugs me. The last book I read was "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde, which looked promising but didn't live up to my expectations. It's the first in a series; I wasn't sufficiently hooked to want to read the rest. I tend to have favorite books rather than favorite authors, and some (though not all) of those books are The Stolen Child (Keith Donohue), Never Let Me Go (Kazuo Ishiguro), The Thirteenth Tale (Diane Setterfield), The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini) and The Raw Shark Texts (Steven Hall). And I'm a Potter fan--one who was severely disappointed by the seventh book, but a fan nonetheless!
I don't watch much TV on the whole, but I adore House, and have recently become addicted to Dexter. I enjoyed Lost up until the end of season two; the latest season was somewhat lackluster. The writers are clearly not well-acquainted with the concept of plot continuity.
I like coffee, music, good food, earrings, my two-year-old PowerBook G4, proper English grammar, and foreign languages. I dislike hot weather, close-mindedness, and having lots of spare change.

Have you read the book version of Dexter? Darkly Dreaming Dexter, it's called...I can't remember who it's by right off the top of my head, but it's an entertaining read.
Yup, I read the book about a year ago; it's what made me decide to get the DVDs of the show when it was released. The books are by Jeff Lindsay, by the way.
I haven't read the second in the series, but I probably should; I think I heard that the second season of the show isn't going to follow the book. It'll be interesting to see how much they diverge...
hey grace, email/IM me 'bout dexter
