I'm an ambidextreous, atheistic asexual. I blame this on me being such a big fan of compromise... and alliteration.

Now 39 (how???) chronologically. Mentally, it varies from 5 to 90 depending on my mood and physically I think parts of me (definitely) hit 80 a while back... I'm a Friday child - in that they made me on one five minutes before closing time. Inside you will hear me bitch and moan about various things wrong with me as I am actually disabled now and steadily getting more so over time as the string and wet newspaper keeping me together falls apart. Fear not though as it's still less than those in Real Life have to put up with.

At college I studied rocks, stuff we do to rocks, stuff making up rocks and computers, just to be different. I'm went to Cardiff and read rocks and the end of the world then to Birmingham to play very advanced spot the difference. I'm a big fan of the apocalypse and am not doing Environmental Geoscience for the people aspect of things. I really like my subject - so much so that I will get distracted by walls (especially bank walls) occasionally. Of course, now that I've been banned from field work do to my being nothing more than a mobile disaster area I'm trying to focus more on the lab side of my subject. Actually, pollen and soil? Really kind of interesting.

I try to have deep thoughts about life, the universe and everything but inevitably tend to keep these to myself and instead fill up my journal with complete inanities as is proper. At some point I will get the more serious stuff down... probably at stupid 'o' clock in the morning in one of my bouts of god-knows-what-induced insomnia. The fantasy-land culture describes my philosophy on life as Nyathe: the concept that fate will do whatever it likes but while there might not be anything you can do to change that it shouldn't stop you trying. It at least keeps my life eventful and gives be decent, if sometimes unbelievable, stories to tell.

I read, widely and voraciously and illiteracy is my greatest fear. Well, that and the stone angels which live in the park as a result of a) Doctor Who and b) my meds. I try to stick to various cult genres, sci-fi, fantasy and such, but I am a massive lurker in my fandoms and have probably spent more time reading fanfiction than some people spend reading period.

I get obsessed with whatever games I'm playing at the time and will slowly start to turn into my characters in Real Life. Even to the point of answering to their names. I'm less worried about this than I probably should be.

I write occasionally; same with drawing. It's all very sporadic but when my stupidly over-active imagination actually pulls its finger out and lets me get stuff down on paper/pixels I get very distracted and unable to do any form of actual useful stuff like notes or coursework.
