And in the country, with all of the dust, I can imagine a good 'ole scuffle actually turning into dustups.
'Oh, my sweet summer child?'
O, I'll be a-borrowing that!

And speaking of country. How about Grayson truly embracing it's heritage and going back to cowboy boots, spurs, hat and a side-shooter, a holster with pulser.
The women carrying hidden pulser dillingers and vibro blades. Now that's a plot!
Geographically, I'm from the American Midwest.
Fannishly, I cut my eyeteeth in Tamora Pierce for a year or so, then at fourteen jumped into the (very scary for fourteen-year-old me!) Harry Potter fan community. This was just after the release of
Order of the Phoenix, so things were still very hairy in there. I spent a few years there, then the 2009
Star Trek film (which I loved, so don't start) came out, and I joined in the madness there on LiveJournal. (I'm pretty sure "oh, my sweet summer child" comes from the LJ days.) After the furor from ST died down was when I really started getting into SF - I'd previously been more interested in fantasy - and I started watching
Stargate,
Babylon 5,
Battlestar Galactica, etc. This is also when I discovered HH, interestingly enough. Then LJ pretty much died when everyone jummped ship for Tumblr - I held out for awhile, but eventually made the switch as well, and that's where I am now.
Didn't expect that when you asked, did you?
