rivkaEvery tenth interest:
breathing: I added this to my interests list in May of 2003, when I developed an innocent-appearing cough with shortness of breath that spiraled into an ER visit, a couple of weeks of utter debility, and the occasional need for an inhaler for almost a year afterward.
dogs: Of all the things that I want and don't have, a dog tops the list. For a few years,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
curiousangel and I had a subscription to Bark magazine, even though we didn't own a dog. I'm kind of sorry that we let it lapse.
garlic and rosemary fries: From The Brewer's Art, our neighborhood brewpub. The garlic and rosemary fries on the pub menu, studded with big pieces of garlic and redolent with fresh rosemary, are the reason why it took us two years to get past the bar and into the restaurant.
irish wolfhounds: This is the kind of dog I'd like to have. They're so massive, and so gentle.
lois mcmaster bujold: My favorite author. I discovered her Vorkosigan series at a time when I was working to come to terms with a self-identity as a disabled person.[1] Miles Vorkosigan was exactly the right person to know.
pamela dean: Pamela writes exactly the kind of books I want to read. I am a big fan of the Scribblies in general, but Pamela's the one I'd most like to know better in person.
purple orchid cream of crab soup: From the restaurant, or as reproduced intherealjae's kitchen. Sooooouuuuup.
science fiction conventions: I enjoy them, but I haven't been to enough of them. I've just registered for Capclave, which should help. The best con I've ever been to was Minicon 2002 - I've always wanted to go back, and it's never worked out.
the cuteness of jae: Surely this interest needs no explanation. I copied the wording fromminnaleigh, but I developed the interest all on my own. After Jae hit me over the head with a metaphorical two-by-four.
wine: I am not well-educated about wines, but I love to drink them. I have a glass of wine with dinner nearly every day - generally inexpensive South American reds: malbecs, carmineres, merlots.
[1] I was much more disabled, at that point, than anyone here has ever seen me. In case you're thinking that that was excessive or inappropriate.

At first I thought the footnote applied to your not-SARS illness, which alarmed me greatly! Glad it was a misread.
Mmm. Now I want rosemary-garlic fries.

Date: 2005-09-12 02:35 pm (UTC)You and I could walk my Irish Wolfhound up to the Brewer's Art and leave her tied to a lamppost while we went in for rosemary garlic fries. (And wine, perhaps, but I think the fries probably go better with beer.) Wouldn't that be a fine life to have?

Having only met you once, I decided that it would be presumptuous to add the interest myself, but I will still speak the truth to power.

Date: 2005-09-12 03:17 pm (UTC)When I first read Tam Lin I hated it. Then I felt compelled to read it again, and realized I did not hate the book, I was annoyed by the characters because they were so well written. Hmm, it's about time to reread both Tam Lin and Juniper, Gentian and Rosemary.

Date: 2005-09-12 03:40 pm (UTC)weird. i take it people do occasionally think that it is excessive or inappropriate? in my head (where conditions are not always exactly the same as in the real world), you and i are currently disabled about the same amount although in slightly different directions, and i certainly identify as a disabled person. (counted on long term points, however, you win, as you are bionic and i am not yet bionic.)

Date: 2005-09-12 08:02 pm (UTC)Let me see... some WisCon memories:
The pink lawn flamingo croquet game down the hallways, with
The midnight lesbian vampire erotic poetry readings, with some of the ladies scantily clad...
The vampire panel entitled "What could be more romantic than a cannibalistic, parasitic corpse, with breath like a fetid cesspool, masquerading as a human leech?...
The "let us make you a silly hat" party (mine was orange, of course)...
The year that over a sixth of the attendees declared ourselves clones of somebody or other (don't remember who, now)...
SF, we take seriously; ourselves, not so much so. See the paean in one of my most recent posts.
