"'allo again," I say to all in here as I dust myself off of a thick layer
of shadow stuff that's accumulated yet again.. "Methinks news is a monster
that I shall never be able to fully tame.. *sigh*"   Anyway, I noticed a
lot of old and new folks putting up little lists of information, so I thought
I'd be one of those horrible people who does the silly thing of jumping on 
the bandwagon.  What follows is.. me.. in a way.. ;)

   Name:  Jody (Joseph) Aaron Bean
    DoB:  29 August 1972 (that makes me a virginal metal rat, no?)
  Place:  Ann Arbor, Michigan (for the first 6 months)
          Then Dallas Suburbia...
           ..and now Austin (for the last two to three years)..
Physical Info, and all that..:
    Light Blue Eyes, Dirty Blonde Hair (almost collar length, sort of wavy),
    Fairly Pale complexion, Moustache, about 5'11" and 143 pounds, Male, and
    I sometimes think I look like a 16th century Frenchman (or at least all 
    the pictures I've seen of their faces..)
What really makes me though.. (likes, dislikes, habits):
   Likes:  Good food (Southern Italian varieties, Tex-Mex (Fajita, Pico de
         Gallo, Chile Rellenos, and a good chunky zesty hot sauce variety),
         Chinese (with lots of veggies preferred), Salads.. green stuff.)
        Folksy music (ranging from classic ballads and lullabies to classic
          rock to indigo girls and some alternative styles..  basically things
          where I can pick out the words?)
        Plays, Alternative Movies (Anything which allows me to suspend the 
          disbelief very easily I will tend to like)
        Good Books in the active tense which present novel ideas or old ideas
          in such a way that they don't seem like repetitions of what I've 
          seen before...
      Basically, there's a lot of stuff that I like, as long as it doesn't
      fall into the next category of:
   Dislikes: Senseless Repetition.  Ennui.  Things that make me feel unaware.
   Habits: I'm taking to comparing myself to a stray cat these days.. I like
       to wander an awful lot, I tend to enjoy filling my time with activities,
       and I'm always willing to try something once..
   Activities of choice: Games, Puzzles, Acting, wandering..
   Other stuff:  I don't know.. I usually don't like to try to say a whole lot
      about myself, I'd prefer people picking up on details on their own, since
      it helps provide me with a better perspective of who I really am..  I'm 
      not overly talkative about most things, although I like to reply a whole
      lot to stuff that catches my eye and gets me thinking..   I've been doing
      a lot of thinking these last couple of years, and I don't know what to 
      make of all the thoughts..  Basically, I'm jody -- I'll put in my two
      cents worth on occasion, but usually I'm probably off in the background
      probably doing something totally unrelated. 

  Story that comes to mind right now:  The Cat That Walked By Himself, by 
      Rudyard Kipling.
