Nice to see that someone else is my age amoung the slash fiends. I see you have an ebay store and sell jewelry. what is the address? My sister Maggie lives in Morocco now and sells Moroccan jewelry --she has a ebay store too, under the name of nedgma. She is retired there. When my domestic partner and I retire we are going to move there We couldn't possibly afford to live here on social security!
Snape is my obsession too. Lots of women who slash him seem to be in love with him..but Me, I identify with him. I have always been the one who was too smart and unpopular- and ugly. I was always fat and in high school I hated everybody. Now I try and be more spiritual and I try to love everybody but stil I have very few real friends, intentionally, and know very few people I really like. Maybe that's why I spend so much time in fandom. Thank God for the internet, where you can always find people like you no matter how weird you are.
My nane, herodias, comes from the character in Oscar Wild's play, and Strauss's opera, "Salome". I am an opera nut. She is cynical and practical, and funny--and Evil, of course. And my age.
You sound at bit like an Old Hippy. I certainly am. Nice to meet you. Do you have cats?
