About
I’m Laura. Currently rusty_halo; formerly drinkthepoison(x). I am:
* A feminist
* A geek
* A fangirl
* An ethical vegan since 1996
I live in NYC and work as a web developer. I have two awesome cats named Lucifer and Angel.
I tend to jump from fandom to fandom. I’ve been into:
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I ran a fanfic archive called All About Spike and helped with Writercon)
- Doctor Who (I was into Doctor/Master and I adored Rose Tyler)
- Dorothy Dunnett’s Lymond Chronicles (I write lots of long rambling literary analysis)
- Farscape (quite possibly the best television show ever made, with one of the best female characters ever in Aeryn Sun)
- Supernatural (I’m all about Dean and Dean/Castiel, but I have major issues with the show’s sexism, racism, homophobia, ableism… *sigh*)
- White Collar, A Song of Ice and Fire (Jaime!), Life on Mars (UK) (best ending ever), Queer as Folk (a terrible show, but, Brian!), Profit, Due South, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, X-Files, and various others.
- I get less obsessively fannish about films, but some of my favorites include The Empire Strikes Back; The Legend of Billie Jean; The Terminator (Sarah!); The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; Once Upon a Time in the West; A Fistful of Dollars; For a Few Dollars More; Strange Days; Iron Man; X-Men 2; Fight Club; Blade Runner; The Lost Boys; South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut; The Princess Bride; Back to the Future; Raiders of the Lost Ark; Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang; Metropolis; The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari…
- Lots of bands. I’ve followed PIG, Chemlab, and Alice in Chains on tour, and I will eternally regret that I was too young to see David Bowie in his prime.
I don’t write fanfiction but I often post fic recs to my journal and my delicious.
I also run a site with my friends called SuperVegan. We have an awesome blog and a guide to NYC vegan restaurants. (Subscribe via RSS or add it to your Friends’ List at LiveJournal–![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif){kind=small}

About This Site
I started this journal on LiveJournal in 2003, but moved here in March 2008 due to LiveJournal’s many many failures. All entries are currently cross-posted to Dreamwidth, InsaneJournal, JournalFen, and LiveJournal. Comments are enabled at my own site and at Dreamwidth. I appreciate comments–anyone can comment on public entries without registering. Register to comment on locked entries.
If you’re interested in how it works, read my guide to migrating from LiveJournal to WordPress.
Note: all entries prior to March 22, 2008 are copied from my LiveJournal and InsaneJournal archives. Icons, moods, and music were lost in the move.
