| Bio: | Yendi
desert dwelling sand-snake. Its bite is so subtle that few animals (or people) will realize they've been bitten until, a few minutes to an hour later, the victim collapses - represents subtlety and misdirection. (from Dzurlord)
Yendi coils and strikes, unseen. (from Jhereg)
Pel is a Yendi. One never knows what Pel might say, what he might do, what he might say he has done, or, above all, why he would say or do what he said or did. (from Five Hundred Years After)
How many Yendi does it take to sharpen a sword?
Three. One to sharpen the sword and one to confuse the issue. (from Yendi)
Please don't feel any obligation to add me as a friend just because I've added you; if you don't find me interesting, that's your right. :-)
On the other hand, please don't hesitate to add me if you want to read my posts. I've never quite understood folks who are get upset when people add them without "permission." And my fragile little ego gets a boost from knowing that I'm not just writing into the void.
If you're joining my LJ, I'd love it if you went to my post at http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=yendi&keyword;=Usernames&filter;=all and answered the question there, as I'm always curious about LJ usernames.
Also, please feel free to fill out the AIM/Yahoo username survey, so I can know to add you to my buddy lists. It can be found at http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=yendi&itemid;=227592
As for the quick mini-bio, I'm a computer/academia geek living in Atlanta and working at Emory. I live with my fiancee ![[info]](http://library.vu.edu.pk/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi/000100A/http/web.archive.org/web/20041102011642im_/http:/=2fstat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) shadesong, as well as her daughter Elayna (my stepdaughter in all but the legal sense), and two cats, one a crazy but lazy Chocolate-Point Siamese, the other a crazy and hyper short-hair.
If you feel like being nice to me, I've got a wishlist full of stuff at Amazon.
I also maintain the community ![[info]](http://library.vu.edu.pk/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi/000100A/http/web.archive.org/web/20041102011642im_/http:/=2fstat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) damnation_alley, for fans of Roger Zelazny.
The following is a list of non-LJ based weblogs I read (mostly celebs, not folks I would mark as "friends," even in the LJ sense). It's here for my own easy access, but also provides some good reading (and if anyone hears of a good RSS feed for any of them, please let me know):
