I didn't choose Geneva; my dad got a job in the Geneva area and I was still in high school at the time.
I am fluent in English, Franglish, Chinglish, and Spanglish. My Mandarin is sub-standard, and my French would be all right if I didn't mangle the accent so badly 60% of the time.
I love mid-afternoons to twilights for the sunshine, and late late nights for the partying.
I'm a big fan of fantastic work. Not as in "WOW! THIS IS FANTASTIC!" but more like somewhat larger-than-life. jrenken introduced me to the works of Matt Ruff, and for that I am forever in his debt. I'm a big fan of Dave Barry (I used to read his column when we got the International Herald Tribune), and his two novels (Big Trouble and Tricky Business) were great. Then I picked up Neil Gaiman's American Gods on my last trip to the States, and now I thirst for more of his work.
