The girl from Ten Things I Hate About You The first scene, where she’s sitting in her car, blaring death metal and glaring at the stupid popular twits – well, that was me eight years ago. Haven’t changed a whole lot, either. Just better music. Oh, but I can handle my liquor, thankyouverymuch. ---

At the moment I’m feeling like ‘The Third Gangstar from the Left’ in “Kill Bill: Vol 1”. Currently I look like a stretched out Jacky Chan, have the mental mindset of Terry Pratchett’s Magrat and try to be as prepared as Batman. ---

I wish I was like Kay Scarpetta but I am absolutely not like her. I also wish I was like Pippi Longstocking. I wouldn’t even mind being Nancy Drew. The sad truth is that I am really more like Bridget Jones. I would rather that not be the case. ---

Ya know, I’m gonna revise my earlier post. I’m only like Bernard Black when I’m pissed. Reading my other posts, I’m apparently Allie McBeal. And I can’t stand her! ---

In some, but by no means all respects, the lead character in James Blaylock’s The Last Coin. Or perhaps it is more accurate to say I related to that character to a more than usual extent. - Tamerlane ---

Well, I was once described (on the boards, by **garius** ) as the love child Granny Weatherwax and Mustrum Ridcully never had. So, I’m the fictional love child of two fictional characters. 😃 Otherwise I’d probably go with my namesake from the Discworld. Except for the werewolf thing. And the man who understands everything and is totally non-judgemental. ---
