Nice to Meet You

A recent comment from Liyatle (friend of Snan's?) asks "Who are you?"

I decided it was a good question. I never introduced myself. Admittedly, that was logical, since 90% of my readers are related to me (whether by blood, marriage, or being former neighbors of Viggy's, which also counts). But still, I thought it'd be a good time to share some relevant information about me.

Name: 

ALIRSNAN. Also known as "hedgehog," in reference to my personality, which is small and mammalian. 

Age:

Still not 30, but only just.

Family:

The ever-patient Parental Units, my loving sister SNAN, the most excellent and ever-suffering Viggy, and children A, N, D, and S (all girls, a fact which never fails to shock at least one new person a week).

Education:

Let's not get into it.

Favorite food:

Popcorn, unless coffee qualifies as a food.

Favorite movie:

Even though I'm almost 30 - Finding Nemo.

Quote that never fails to make me laugh:

"Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't... nothing?"

Five-year goals:

Finish my math degree

Speak Russian

Have at least four toilet-trained children

Get a second toilet

Long-term goals:

World peace, under the iron rule of my despotic dictatorship.

Strengths:

High tolerance for noise and mess, ability to learn new languages, ability to pretend not to speak new languages in order to get out of unpleasant conversations, can chew gum and wash dishes at the same time.

Weaknesses:

Phobia of the-bugs-that-must-not-be-named, extreme case of Homework Aversion, complete physical and mental dependency on coffee.

I think that about covers it. Readers, feel free to introduce yourselves, too.
