LJ Interests Meme

cats:
I’ve always felt an affinity for cats, aggravating my very not-cat-people parents. Supposedly, cats began gathering around the house around the time I was born, and it was somehow my fault. I’m sure I was feeding them surreptitiously from the crib. Happily, Katie inherited that affinity.
d&d:
I didn’t play ’til 2000, but I’ve been making up for lost time since then.
flirting:
Flirting can be a way of interacting with absolutely anyone of any age or gender. It softens exchanges, and says, “I like you and I’m not in a big hurry to end this encounter.” It doesn’t imply any commitment or sexual interest, doesn’t infringe on anyone else’s commitments, and is never improper.
home schooling:
The best educational choice open to us for Katie right now, and something I’m very glad we’ve done for the last few years. I wish we’d been able to do it from the beginning, as I’d planned, but that didn’t happen.
learned optimism:
If you can learn to be helpless and pessimistic, you can learn to be otherwise, right?
mike rayburn:
Incredible acoustic guitarist! You must see him live if you’re in the southeast! He’s a pretty darned good singer, songwriter, and comedian, as well. See http://www.mikerayburn.com/
polyfidelity:
A form of polyamory that involves more than two people, but is limited to however many people are involved. I’m very much a “slow-poke poly” kinda gal, and in practice I’m really more of a polyfidelitist than a polyamorist – essentially on the other end of the non-monogamy spectrum from the swingers.
sapiosexual:
What’s inside a person’s mind is more important in determining how sexy he or she is to me than how his or her body looks. Bodies are lovely, of course – but minds make the person.
steve miller:
Coauthor of my favorite series, the Liaden Universe novels, with his wife Sharon Lee.
web design:
I enjoy participating in the greatest vanity press the world has ever known. I’m not willing to rely completely on others to present my words, so I’m brushing up on my web design skills.
