Friend-locked... Well, sorta.
I've been toying off and on with the prospect of f-locking my LJ, and finally made a decision to do a partial-lock. Stories that I've written (original and fan fiction) for other comms on LJ and Dreamwidth are left unlocked, along with my silly Writers Block responses; most of my day-to-day life jottings and writing brainstorms are now on lock. If you'd like to be friends, leave me a comment!
Oh, and a little more about me:
I am unabashedly nerdy, obsessed with fashion and period dramas, and a voracious reader. I am also an underpaid/overworked graduate student in sociology who is currently slaving away on a master's thesis. I often flail over (1) the challenges and pitfalls of research and/or (2) the awesome progress that I am making, and the cool intellectual discoveries that I have stumbled upon.
I like, in no particular order, the following: music, fountain pens, video games and comic books (Bioware owns my soul, methinks, and the X-men are amaaaaazing), cooking fancy meals for myself, sunbathing on my deck, shoes, cocktails with my nearest and dearest, cats, dark chocolate and red wine, anything purple, and things that sparkle. Did I also mention that I like shoes? ;)
I am known to abuse parenthetical asides (but really, I have so many tangential ideas that it is difficult to keep them to myself), cry at the simplest things (Sunsets. Disney films. Fuzzy kittens. The title credits of Ever After), drive too fast and listen to my music too loud.
I use my LJ to blab about my day-to-day life, and while I try to limit the number of invective-filled rants and emo sob-sessions, my self-control gets away from me at times. I do, however, attempt to employ LJ-cuts whenever possible. I also post my forays into fiction-writing to my journal, and discuss my writerly inspirations, challenges, and ideas. I love reviews and constructive criticism, so if you feel moved to offer either, I would be incredibly grateful.
I lament the limited scope that the 'about me' blurb offers, so if you're curious about anything, just ask!
