Bio
I r an engineer. To quote Villa Restal of Blake's 7 fame, "It's not just what I do, it's who I am." I design mechanical systems that make buildings nice and comfy and safe to live, work and play in.

I have a weakness for geeky scientists with stunning blue eyes and great chest hair (I married one and I adore one on TV).

I have been in fandom for many, many moons, progressing through Star Trek, Blake's 7, Doctor Who, War of the Worlds, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Total Recall 2070, Wild Wild West, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. I am a fannish writer and vidder, having written and vidded in a number of the fandoms listed.

I am generally serially monogamous in my fandom love, with my most recent passion being Stargate Atlantis, and in particular, one Dr. Rodney McKay, as portrayed by the ever-awesome David Hewlett. Alas (or not), with the (totally!evil!) canceling of SGA, I was left open and vulnerable to attack by other marauding fandoms, and have found myself sucked whole hog into House MD as of this past MediaWestCon. OMG, now I understand what my old TR2070 buds were trying to tell me about a few years ago. House and Wilson - gah! I am now trying to inhale five seasons of a show in a few weeks. Talk about, ahem, addiction. I can feel the fic and vids boiling in my veins even now! And Robert Sean Leonard has finally proven to me that rich chocolate brown eyes can be just as compelling and stunningly beautiful as the magnificent blue of David Hewlett (and now Hugh Laurie!)

I am also following Mythbusters with a passion and catching up on past eps there as well. What can I say - they do engineering and sciency stuff (and yes, they blow things up also)! So it's not really a fandom, right? And Jamie and Adam - well, they may not be traditionally beautiful, but they certainly are adorable! Science and engineering are sexy - as I always knew!

Still suffering dreadfully from the cancellation of Stargate Atlantis in its prime, I have reluctantly applied my open mind to the premier of the new Stargate Universe series, thinking I would be turning it off promptly. Well, I'm still watching, at least for now. Something about a dedicated, soft-spoken Colonel and a not-to-be-messed with compassionate (not to mention drop-dead-georgous) Field Medic. For now, we won't talk about the immature bratty self-centered scientist who makes SGA's Rodney McKay look like an angel, complete with wings and halo - and isn't that a scary image!

Finally, I wasn't looking for yet another fandom - I really wasn't. For years, I was a one-fandom at a time person, but yet, somehow, another has grabbed hold tooth and nail and won't let go. Yes, I'm talking about White Collar. Such wonderful characters - and finally, a lawman's wife who loves and supports him and is a real, developed character in the show, not just a plot device to cause him angst. My first OT3 has happened - Peter/Elizabeth/Neal, and a wonderful thing it is. Of course, Peter/Neal and Peter/Elizabeth are pretty gosh dern good also. Peter seems to be a common factor here, doesn't he? I just love his down-to-earth honesty, directness, sweetness and dedication. No wonder Elizabeth and Neal do as well.
