Okay, I admit. I am actually a 40 year old man who lives in his parent’s [basement](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/avagoyle/TRROOM.jpg) and watches too much Star Trek. I only pretend to be a young girl on message boards so I can hit on all the boys without getting in trouble. Please forgive me. ☹ [This](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/avagoyle/pat.jpg) is the real me. Kimera is my [hamster](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/avagoyle/hamster.jpg) and Ava is my [mouse](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/avagoyle/mousexmouse.jpg). ---

Well, [this](http://sherpaguides.com/georgia/atlanta_urban_wildlife/wildnotes/graphics/earthworm.jpg) is me. [Here](http://myhome.naver.net/c65hoi5/c3/c33236.jpg) is my wife, and [these](http://newfarm.osu.edu/crops/images/earthworm.jpg) are our wonderful children. Sadly, we [lost one of the children](http://www.brucelinn.org/Images/birdnworm.jpg) last year. But we’ll get by. 😃 ---

I am, in fact, a 25-year-old heterosexual woman, married and living on a ranch in Montana. I have no familiarity with computers outside of being just proficient enough with a web browser to post to this forum. I am so busy with PTA meetings, flights to the Coast for extravagant parties, and non-profit work for Republican organizations that I have no time to be familiar with television programs or comic books. I am a member of the Church of Satan in long-standing (Hail, Azazel! Shuggoroth! Praise the Dark One!), and a moderator and avid participant in the livejournal anonymous forums, which I think are _so cool_. I also drink Pepsi. I regret any inconvenience this may have caused. ---

I can’t give you my real name, and I don’t have any pictures. But I can tell you that I won 25 gold medals in the Stockholm Olympic Games. ---

I’m not really an unmarried Canadian lesbian in her 20’s. [I’m actually a happily married middle-aged American](http://www.madonnalicious.com/images/2004/london_birthday_ns1.jpg). The whole fangirl thing, that was a cover. It wasn’t for free publicity, not at all. ---

I’m not actually a 20-year-old young woman, who loves to knit and is currently pursuing an English degree. No, I’m actually a [burly trucker](http://www.haltomcitycitizen.com/2-15-04/gary%20the%20trucker.JPG). It’s a pain in the summer, but as long as I keep the A/C cranked up, I’m cool. ---

Oh man, you got me. It’s also proven by the fact that I love RPG stuff & D&D & medieval stuff and can probably name a tank or a weapon or break down military tactics faster than several guys I know.
