retaining mystique while facing forward

Hi, I'm Nik, welcome to my party. I'm an east-coast girl in a west-coast world. I'm a coffee-slinger. Sometimes I sing while doing it. I do a lot of forum roleplaying and I'm married to pretty much the most incredible man on the planet. Think Christopher Turk from "Scrubs," but if he was a software programmer.

I love:
Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Community, Psych, Game of Thrones, Castle, Parks and Rec, Burn Notice, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Suits, Supernatural, Modern Family, Big Bang Theory, Happy Endings, How I Met Your Mother, Dark Angel, Scrubs, Friends and TO BE WATCHED: Leverage, Downtown Abbey

Time Traveler's Wife, A Song of Ice and Fire, House of Leaves, Harry Potter, The Song of the Lioness and pretty much anything Tamora Pierce has written, Neil Gaiman, Octavia Butler, Chuck Palahniuk...
