Another newbie joins the lineup

Pygmalion 10-05-2003 09:43 AM
Well.

My name is Karen and I'm a completist. When I develop an interest, I want to collect all the info I can, down to the end. Which is why I ended up here, thanks to the other great Big O sites that linked here.
This is certainly one of the largest!

I was spoiled for anime in my college years by seeing Miyazaki-sama, thereby rendering me unfit to enjoy most other works. Needless to say, I find Big O an exception. Why? The mystery, the relationships (reminds me of Doctor Who or Star Trek at its best), Roger's pragmatic heroism, Dorothy's sarcasm.

Outside Cartoon Network (which younger son loves to distraction and we are blessed with for too many hours a day), I enjoy Junkyard Wars, motorcycling, messing around on my farm, science and technology. It should come as no surprise that I score as "Norman" on the personality test. (My husband is Roger, of course; he's my paladin Big Grin .) I've been involved with science fiction and media fandom, but not recently. It's sort of like coming home to an entirely new set of faces. Wink FISAWOL*, I see.

My screen name is of course from the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. I am considering how this might apply to the R-D relationship. (Possibly more along the lines of George Bernard Shaw's play than the original myth.)

Auf wiedersehen!

And to think someone once told me I was "stupid for liking Big O because it was just another mindless mecha anime".

I tried to explain to him why it wasn't,but he wouldn't hear any of it. Frown

Anyways,it's always nice to see new faces around here.And once Schwarzwald grabs onto you,he's just like a dog humping your leg.Well,besides the larger than average tongue and the nervous shaking,it's best to just lie still until he finsihes.Or bash him up against the couch until he lets go.Stupid thing shouldn't have grabbed onto you in the first place!You told her you didn't like dogs,but what did she do?She went out and bought the horniest dog in existence!!!!!!!

Oh,sorry.Getting off on a rant here.Anyways,welcome. Pleased
