What up?

to follow suit with Dave, I'm digitally introducing myself as well. I'm Nellie, the sort-of-redhead goth chick with the lip-ring. I'm pretty cool, I guess.

So, some stuff about me...I'm a pretty gigantic nerd. Like, I know most people say "oh, I'm such a nerd", but no, I mean it. I play video games, I costume, I LARP, I watch artsy movies, I make witty (I hope) literature references in everyday conversation. Maybe they're not witty, but I still make them. I also listen to a crazy wide array of music. Like, right now, I'm listening to Ray Charles, before that, Pentaphobe, sort of industrial tribal bellydancing music.

Right now, I'm reading Alan Moore and Dave Lloyd's V for Vendetta and Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.

Also, favourite painting ever...It's called Le Trahison des Images (The Treachery of Images) by Rene Magritte, a Belgian surrealist. I plan on getting another one of his paintings done as my second tattoo once I get money.

Have you read Vonnegut's Man Without A Country?

It's wondiferous and explains the concept of plot arcs...brilliantly. :-p

no, I have not...Slaughterhouse Five is all I've read by him, and even that's still in the process, lol.

Huge Vonnegut fan here; I definitely recommend Sirens of Titan and Hi-ho. ALSO: Nerdling RIGHT ON. RIGHT ON everything! Only I'm not so big on the larping and costuming. I'm more of a graphic novel kind of kid.
