This user is a fan of Star Wars episodes IV, V, and VI as they were originally released.
I'm a museum guide as my main means of employment. I was born in California, have lived in Nevada and Oregon, and currently live in Glendale, California. So that you may know where my biases are (if any express themselves), I was raised Roman Catholic, but just consider myself a Monotheist at this point. I politically am a progressive Democrat. Ethnically I am a European mongrel with my major components being Irish of which I am 3/8ths and Polish of which I am 1/4th.
I have two cats; Carmen, a black cat, and Squishy a tuxedo cat.
Work that I've done on Wikipedia
On 21 December 2006 I used Google to translate an article about Francesco Lana de Terzi from German to English, then cleaned up the grammar and used the appropriate synonyms to make it flow better in English. The article still needs work. I correct spelling and grammatical errors when I see them. I also have made links inside articles when it appears to be appropriate.
Political spectrum
The results of my political spectrum test: Economic Left/Right: -7.00, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.85[1] In other words, I'm very left wing with some serious libertarian leanings.
