I am deceptively little and cute and sweet. It gives people who try to mess with me a false sense of security, which ultimately works to my advantage. ;)
You know what really cracks me up? This past weekend at the sci-fi convention there were a number of people dressed up as fantasy "warrior princesses" and fantasy "warriors" and carrying actual swords (which they were required by convention security to keep sheathed at all times). And I *know* that the vast majority of these people with their swords and knives and stuff wouldn't be able to handle one of those weapons in a real life situation to actually defend themselves if their lives depended on it. But I could, and I have -- with no reservations whatsoever about using a knife (or any quickly improvised weapon) to defend myself and cause maximum damage to the other person. Not that I've had to do that on more than a couple occasions in my life thus far, but it still cracks me up when I see some people acting out their badass fantasies at these conventions. ;)

Sounds like you were surrounded by a bunch of travestied bozos at the convention :) Knives, improvised weapons and killer minpins notwithstanding, I think your most lethal weapon is your wit:)

"...though I've never had the advantage of having seen a picture of you..." You've have seen a photo of Nephele : she looks so much like me that I sometimes call her Mini Me. To asses my potential ferocity, picture a 9-fold male version with a well sharpened Montblanc pen and a couple of years experience with Aikido. Dont forget my bloodcurdling sidekick, Rover :P
