About Me
Name: Rebecca in real life. I go by Rivka online, though.
Age: 32
Height: 5'2"
Weight: About 115 pounds, give or take. I have started putting on weight in my "old" age.
Hair: A very boring, mousy brown. Usually in need of cutting.
Eyes: Hazel. But they often change color to whatever I'm wearing, which is rather nice :)
Birthplace: Michigan. Cold. Very cold.
Current Place of Residence: Southern California. CA is a wonderful place to live. No snow.
Marital Status: Married. And he makes computer games. That's all you get to know about him.
Job: I have a Masters in Library and Information Science, but I currently work as a web programmer.
Religion: I've been touched by his noodley appendage. Have you?
Things That I Like: X-men, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Sandman, Spiderman, old movies, home decorating shows, Robot Chicken, South Park, Penny-Arcade.com, World of Warcraft, board games that my husband forces me to play, spending too much time on the computer, cute guys, and my two cats.
Favorites:
Food: Processed cheese in almost any form. EZ Cheese. Macaroni and cheese. Cheddar and sour cream potato chips. Cheese whiz on corn dogs. Mmm....I'm hungry now.
Drink: Cherry Diet Rite. It's all I drink. Literally.
TV Show: Ever? Probably Star Trek, the original series (although Firefly is a very close second). Currently I watch Smallville, Lost, Heroes, and a bunch of bad reality shows (The Amazing Race, America's Next Top Model, Project Runway).
Movie: Lord of the Rings, of course! Others include Planet of the Apes (original), Soylent Green (no, I don't have a thing for Chuck Heston. Really.), Somewhere in Time, 12 Monkeys, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, Horatio Hornblower (TV movies. Ioan Gruffudd is a hottie), and a bunch of others I can't think of right now.
Actor: I tend to pick my favorite actors based on looks. So...here's my current "List of 5": Hugh Jackman, Nathan Fillion, David Boreanaz, Tom Welling, and Johnny Depp.
Actress: Few actresses impress me. I can tolerate Reese Witherspoon and Hilary Swank, and um...well, that's really all I can think of. And, I kind of have to admit to having a girl-crush on Eliza Dushku. She's hot, yo.
Music: Whatever I can sing well on Rock Band.
Book: I read almost constantly, and my favorites change a lot. The one book that always stays near the top is Stephen King's The Stand. Stuff I've read lately: the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin, the Sandman graphic novels by Neil Gaiman, and all the Harry Potter books.
Historical Figure: Hmm. Queen Elizabeth I, I think. She was a strong woman who oversaw a powerful nation, and didn't put up with crap from anybody.
Cartoon Character: Scooby-doo, without a doubt. I loved him long before he came back in popularity. And He-man is my second favorite. They need to release that on DVD.
Cereal: I've gotten so boring and healthy lately. Usually I eat Total, or Grape Nuts.
Holiday: Halloween! Milky Ways galore! And I don't give any to the trick-or-treaters, heh, heh.
Sport to Watch: I. Don't. Ever. Watch. Sports. Unless the Red Wings are vying for the Stanley Cup. I may make an exception then.
Sport to Play: You're joking, right?
Movie Soundtrack: Conan the Barbarian. Go ahead and laugh, but it's really awesome music. Amadeus and Braveheart are pretty good, too. And of course, the Lord of the Rings soundtracks!
Magazine: Entertainment Weekly, and the hordes of gaming magazines that people send my husband for free.
Comic Book: Anything X-men related. I own several hundred comic books, and I've only read like 10% of them. And don't forget Neil Gaiman's Sandman!
Store: I'm really not big into shopping, just for shopping's sake. The only places that can get me excited are the local comic book store, or Barnes & Noble.
Song: Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Or Aha's Take on Me. It's hard to choose.
Disney Movie: Beauty and the Beast, hands down. It's always been my favorite fairy tale. I even made a site devoted to it.
Disney Character: Hmm. I've always been partial to the prince from Beauty and the Beast. Reddish-brown hair, blue eyes...yummy!
Classic TV Show: Star Trek, of course. And don't forget Manimal.
Odds & Ends:
Sesame Street or the Muppets?: Muppets. Animal and Gonzo rock the casbah. I do like Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street, though.
Super Powers: Getting easily pissed off. And these questions are starting to piss me off...
Biggest Fears: Spiders. Heights. Water (can't swim). Dark alleys. Men who shout. George W. Bush. The return of 80's fru-fru bangs.
Pop or Soda?: I'm from Michigan. Of course it's pop. People stare at me blankly when I say that here in CA, so I've had to start saying soda. Sacrilege!
