Hi y'all. I am Caligula's Launderette, I go by CL, Cal, Kelle, Tabby, Tabs, Tabitha, Hyper SPEW Alien Monkey, yo you deaf white woman, I will literaly answer to most anything. I have another about me post, but I decided it was old and needed a new personal thingie. Some of the following wordings snagged from a friend.
...
Ooo, where was I, oh yeah talking about myself.... So I was born an impoverished British child living in a workhouse until I was kicked out and taken in by a group of good-natured pickpockets, or was that Oliver Twist. I always get that mixed up. Wait now I remember, I was born in Southern California, or as well home-citizens call it So. Cal. So yeah, basically I live in Mexico. Directions on how to get to my house, when the billboards are in Spanish and you haven't reached the border yet. I was immersed in swimming and sailing since I was a wee wain, once I even thought I was a dolphin, but that's another story. I have a pretty whacked out family tree, I am the daughter of my father's second marriage. So, from his first marriage he has two kids of his own (my sister and brother), and then five step-children. And then, then, my sister has twins who are three months older than me- Casey and Chelsea. So, yeah, that's fun. Casey, has only called me Auntie Kelly once, that was when he was drunk. And yeah that's fun too. So, back to me, shall we... I speak Spanish fluently - or so says my diploma from Mester (Spanish School in Spain), and really, really bad french, as in bad, as in horrible, as is deplorable french. I also speak some Italian, Japanese, German... I can understand Portuguese, and am pretty good at pig-latin. I can say one word in Dutch - Gotverdamme. That's fun. I supposed my mother pushed me to be a linguist from a young age, and that young age was about five.
So, something else about me, well I love to read, love to write, love watching movies and tv. Though I can be outdorsey if I want to be. I like backpacking, camping, horses, rock-climbing, exploring, sailing; things like that. By nature I am very spontaneous. I try to be funny when I can. I love my friends, cause hey you choose your friends, not your family.
When it comes to reading and writing I love just about everything thats good, both poetry, fiction, non-fiction... I am rather in love with sci-fi, fantasy, and historical fiction. I have a personal library with over 600 books. My writing is heavily induced by myth (mostly greek, norse, celtic), Poe, EB Browning, Sappho, Doug Adams, McKinley, Yeats, Kipling, Joyce, Soepboer, Gaiman, Dumas, Eliot, erm... my friends and fellow writers.
The author Lloyd Alexander first got me into writing. He is too cool. *grins*
I don't speak how I write, and that's a promise. *wink, wink* The downside of that, I think I'm coming off rather pompous in this. Oh dear, that's not how I planed it.
I have new neurotic cats Woodstock and Spooky. Woodstock is a purebread, orange persian. I love him even if he does have the attention span of a goldfish. Spooky is a norweigian forest who is afraid of her own shadow. I used to own a horse, an appalloosa mare Navajo. One day she ate half of my hamburger. So yeah a carnivorous pony. I have weird pets.
Now that's a Good Myth.
Any questions?
Yours, CL.
(I'll be pming you soon...
