“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” ‘  Luke 12: 18-19

Bonjour! I am Mary Sue! Nice ta meetcha!

I live in North Southeast Portland. Iwill often be identified by my pale skin peeking out from under a Joss Whedon Is My Master Now t-shirt. I vaugely helped with putting on the inagural Can’t Stop the Serenity screening in Portland, OR. Right now my life is consumed with Middleman, Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Adventures, Corner Gas and Eureka.

I have a BA in Social Science (specializations in Global Politics of the mid-20th Century and Public History, plus a minor specialization in Apocalyptic New Religious Movements) and a M.Ed. in Cross-Cultural Teaching. I’m currently working as a Buyer in a Big Ol’ Hospital. I shall let Joss Whedon explain my job to you:

Buffy: I’m going to be a buyer.
Merrick: Of what?
Buffy: I dunno. It’s just a job I heard of. Sounded pretty cool, you know? Buyer, buying, to buy… I like that.

I speak five languages, all badly.

I started out as a DCU girl, but after Identity Crisis and Batgirl’s ‘death’, I got pretty meh about the whole crew. While I miss Ted with a great burning loss (Edit 1/30/08: wait, he’s not really dead, he’s just one of the greatest heroes I’ve never heard of! YAY!), Jamie Reyes is a pretty damn good Blue Beetle. And I want to be Molly from the Runaways when I grow up, if I can’t be Spider Jerusalem.

I use LOLCats in business situations and have gotten two officemates addicted to the Kingdom of Loathing (where I go by the 3am-induced name of LoverPrimeNumbah). I also sail the Midnight Ocean as Loverprime, you’ll usually find me pillaging with my Midnight Maurader hearties.

I asked for Legos this Christmas and got a TIE Fighter.
