Wow, so they had you running all over the place, I take it? :/ That conference sounds so cool though, you're going into the special education field? Because I'm studying to be a speech therapist, and I want to work with special needs youth myself (originally wanted to be a teacher and then actually tried it for a year in college and decided working with that many kids at once was a no-go XD)
Maybe go sit with your feet soaking in hot water for a while? That helps my mom, who has poor circulation in her feet. :/
Books now!
I like the kind of "Benedict/Beatrice" relationship where the two partners enjoy verbally sparring with each other.
YES. SO MUCH YES. I am alllll about the verbal sparring and sarcasm and witty conversation. That's probably why I'm so fond of the Nino+Jun interaction in fic. :P And why a lot of my book choices are what they are. :P It's not verbal abuse, it's healthy exercise of one's mental faculties!
And no, I don't think it's weird that you like Mnementh when she put so much trouble towards making it clear that the dragons were sentient and have personalities. I'm really fond of Menolly's brown fire lizard trio. :D
Oooh, Sword and Sorceress! I've read I think two or three volumes of those anthologies, that was how I was introduced to writers like Mercedes Lackey and Elizabeth Moon. Entertaining stuff. I also liked the Chicks in Chainmail (http://www.amazon.com/Chicks-Chainmail-Esther-Friesner/dp/0671876821) anthologies edited by Esther Friesner. :D
I learned that 'classic' SF/F was very male-dominated early on when I would browse my library shelves, but the styles and content tended not to attract me very much, so I stuck with more of the stories involving women when I could. It limited me more, perhaps, but I didn't feel it at all. That's really awesome of your dad. So a whole family of SF/F geeks? :D?
