Assorted personal trivia

• I have been a sysop on the English-language Wikipedia for four years, though I'm not as active as I once was.
• I am finally switching mains after three years of playing a mage: starting in Cataclysm I will be focusing on my prot warrior first. My other max-level characters include a prot paladin, a bear druid, an enhancement shaman, a disc priest, and a second prot warrior (of the opposite faction).
• I have an unhealthy relationship with my Xbox 360 (who doesn't know I'm seeing a Wii on the side). I still own and play my older Nintendo systems, including the original NES with a functioning Power Pad. Some of favorite computer/video games (other than WoW) include King's Quest, Mass Effect, The Legend of Zelda series, Ultima, Dragon Age: Origins, and Gabriel Knight.
• I am trying to learn how to play the guitar, if by "trying to learn" one means that I occasionally pick it up and strum the handful of chords I know. Honestly, I play Rock Band more often than the actual guitar.
• I believe I am 4.8 standard deviations above the average height for an American female. In layman's terms: I'm really, really tall.
• I like orotund words and etymologies, and I enjoy any opportunity to reference my "worthless" education in religious studies, classics, and philosophy.
• I delight in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien and Joss Whedon.
