Profile

The name's Lex. Kind of like Cher. But with less plastic surgery.

I would first like to point out that I was Lex LONG before Smallville was even a twinkle in the producer's eye so, no, my name has nothing to do with that. It is in fact my real, honest-to-god nickname, as my given name is Alexis.

I used to hail from the BtVS/AtS fandom, where I wrote excessive amounts of fan fiction. After five years, I fell out of love with both BtVS and AtS, and I stopped watching. My breakup with Joss Whedon was the easiest of my life. But as there were no hard feelings when we divorced *grin*, I got back together with him so I could watch Firefly. *sob*

I was also an avid watcher of Farscape, X-Files, Xena, Gargoyles, JAG, Witchblade, Highlander, and Forever Knight. I'm also really digging X-Men movieverse right now, along with Blood Ties and Stargate Atlantis.

My home is filled with books, mostly paranormal romances, but with plenty of exceptions.

As for my personal life:

I am born, raised, and currently residing in northern NJ, in a suburb of Newark. And yes, I have an accent. I try to keep it down most of the time, but when I get agitated, I lose control of my vowels. ;->

I am known to the children in my neighborhood as The Cat Lady. I have, at the moment, six cats and one dog. They are my children, and are treated (and coddled) as such.

I am a lesbian, much to the eternal dismay of my mother, who prays nightly that I will wake up straight one morning. Hasn't happened yet, but hope springs eternal.

ETA: Okay, so I woke up a little less gay.

ETA2: Men suck. I had it right the first time.

ETA3: Okay, maybe not ALL men suck.

Current Crush on a Fictional Character: Susan Ivanova, Babylon 5

"Confirmed Survey 1. Upon arrival you will report for debriefing. And just one more thing, on your trip back I want you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 mantra. Ivanova is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recommendations. Ivanova is God. And if this ever happens again...
[shouts]
Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out! Babylon control out.
[to herself]
Civilians.
[looks up]
Just kidding about that God part. No offense."


"If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands."
