I like these people. Mostly Sarah thoough, because I grew up admiring Fox Mulder quite a bit. He replaced McGyver when I started getting into my teenage years.

Other than Mulder, Spike Speigel is pretty much a no-brainer. It might also have something to do with Cowboy Bebop being the first anime I watched. Oh, it also made me a fan of bebop in general I might add. Spider Jerusalem, Philip K Dick and Hunter S. Thompson are my personal holy trinity. I blame Internet Jesus for all of it, and will sacrifice my first born to him.

Now I sorta feel like writing about growing up... There was a metal period and a fantasy period as well. I also got really interested in movies after studying it. (Which is the opposite of what you normally do I suppose, but hey, it worked!)

Anyone else wanna share?

@Illogic: When I was in college, I grew huge sideburns like Wolverine's. Also, I played Dungeons and Dragons.

And I still dated.

why do I feel like Caitlin digitized her picture, not to look cool, but to make it hard for her friends to recognize her?

I kid, I kid. Welcome to the fold, folks! Please watch your step around the gravity wells and mind your head on the ouroboros.

@dirtybacon: Personally I digitalize all my pictures so I can't even recognize myself.

Security precautions against skynet, you understand.

Welcome aboard. Word of warning, though: Sarah, I will flirt with you endlessly. I mean, anyone who enjoys tardigrades, various forms of technological *punk, and Neuromancer is instantly cool in my book.

@W10002: don't blame him, it's just that he stammers, can't complete sentences, and his palms sweat uncontrollably when females are around.

we've all been there.

@Practice02: didn't you know that science fiction is a female dominated genre? We're only trying to reflect the reality of science fiction as it exists today. Also, pissing on girls on a female dominated blog? not a good plan.

@Annalee Newitz: yes, pissing on girls is much more of the Fleshbot realm.
