I am an unabashed fangirl and am wont to squee over shiny distractions of the fannish sort. I've collected a LOT of fandoms over the years, although since I am not the most active of fans and mostly lurk, I limit them to "fandoms of whose canon I am knowledgable, and in which I have extensively read fan fiction." These include, but are not limited to: Xena, Tolkien, Laurell K. Hamilton, House M.D., Harry Potter, Labyrinth, Buffy, Star Wars, Star Trek (TOS and NextGen only), X-Files (not in years, though), and Jane Austen. I am liable to ramble on about any of the above at a moment's notice.

I frequently post reviews of whatever book I am currently reading (or re-reading), and occasionally film reviews too. Thanks to my hopelessly gnatlike attention span, I am always in the middle of at least a dozen books. I also wax squeeful over any number of 'ships, and go through crushes like a serial killer goes through victims. I rotate my Crush Harem every once in a while, y'know, for variety.

I alternate my time between hunting down absurdly low discounts on used books and entertaining Tai the gay cross-dressing goth Pekingese, who really ought to serve as a goodwill ambassador for toy breeds to prove that they aren't all obnoxious yippy ankle-biters. Even sworn toy-haters (and dog-haters in general) love him. He is the Galadriel of dogs...all who meet him fall under his spell, and are never the same again.

Pets are a frequent topic of conversation here, especially the aforementioned Tai, and hamsters. I can and will endlessly wax hamsteric at the slightest provocation. This has been an ongoing obsession since I was eleven years old, and is not likely to stop any time soon. I adopted Sir Percival, a flame point Ragdoll and the mostest beautifulest cat in the WORLD, from a shelter after some asshole dumped him in a field. For Christmas Shade surprised me with my first-ever Chinese hamster, a little girl named Astrid. I also have two bettas: Snitch (male) and Quaffle (female).

I badly, badly want to move to England at some point in my life, both for the shiny shiny accents and the numerous hamster clubs and shows. Yes, I would move to a separate continent ACROSS THE GLOBE for a three-inch rodent. Also I am one of Those Girls who goes simply dotty for men who don't pronounce their Rs.

I am a Virgo with a Scorpio Moon, Cancer rising, and five stelliums in Libra. Therefore I am a nitpicky, emotional paranoiac obsessed with balance and aesthetics. I am also a psychological hypochondriac who is frequently convinced that I am a textbook case of whatever it is I've read about lately. So far my official diagnoses include Attention Deficit Disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, and Avoidant Personality Disorder.

I recently moved out of the house I shared with my mother, and am now living with my best friend, his cats Shadow and Yvaine, and his puppy Cricket. It is awesome and I highly recommend it to everyone. (Especially the puppy.)

While I update this journal with more or less regularity, I am terrible about posting in other peoples' journals, and am even known to neglect responding to posts here. If I haven't posted in your journal, be assured that if I have friended you, I am reading your entries.

In regards to The Friending Issue: Meh. If you want to friend me, go ahead. If you want to tell me when you do so, go ahead. If you want to not tell me, feel free. I may friend you in return, and I may not. It depends on who you are, how you write, my current mood, and what I ate that day. Nothing personal, you understand.
