In this inaugural post, I suppose I must introduce myself.
Lisa.
I cannot say that
every character by this name fits a stereotype, but I assure you, the majority
do. More often than not, Lisa is the extremely pretty and just
intelligent enough to be truly cruel villain of most girl-centered movies.
Of course, I refer primarily to dramas and romantic comedies.
While I don't
possess the first trait, I will lay claim to the second. I'm not
brilliant, despite many adolescent years spent trying to be. My wit works
either in writing--it's always easier to be witty when one has the luxury of
time--or if my internal filter short circuits. I try to stay away from
anyone I would like to remain friends with when this happens, as I tend to
become flippant, arrogant, and spiteful.
Despite these fits
of malevolence, I am not a bad person. At least, no one has told me so if
I am.
One thing I need
to take the time to make abundantly clear is that I am a geek. It's best
you know this up front, so when the odd Battlestar Galactica reference appears,
you will not fall out of your chair in shock. As much as I’d like to list
every movie, television show, and video game I will reference, you would
literally weep with boredom. Just know
that you have been warned.
I’m positive there is other essential information I should impart,
but I’m at a loss. It’s like when
someone asks you to tell them about yourself.
Your mind immediately blanks, leaving only the contents of a snapshot
biography that would fail even Wikipedia’s less than stringent submission
policies. I suppose all I can hope is
that eventually, I remember.
I bid you welcome with a shrug and depreciative grin, and
hope you enjoy my random rambles.
Lisa
