| Bio: | My passions and interests tend to the fascinatingly arcane and useless. I have a wonderfully useless Classics and Anthropology Linguistics English Language (mmm, Old English!) degree from Victoria University in Wellington, with touches of Greek and Latin on the side. Dead languages are so very fun, oh yes. Last year, I did Honours in Medieval and Early Modern European Studies at Auckland University, which allowed me to add Old Norse (aka Medieval Icelandic) to my list of languages. I spent most of this year not-working on my Masters before facing the fact that after six years of studying I'm burnt out...for now. I fully intend to return to post-graduate study, and in the meantime, I'll be a student of life. Or just someone who exercises her library card a lot.
When I'm not at reading or spending too much time on the internet, I earn myself a bit of money by working as...actually, I'm not sure what I am. I'm an office administrator, or administrative assistant, or paraconsultant, or temp administrator, depending on what day of the week it is and what needs doing. In short, I work part-time at a recruitment agency with a fabulous team and lots of interesting things to do.
I think of myself as being relaxed, down-to-earth, possessing a good sense of humour and open-minded. Except when it suits my purposes not to be, of course.
I am a fandom slut. I have long since cheated on my original fandom (Xena), and moved into the myriad of things listed in my interests. I have written fanfiction. Some of it is very bad. Some of it is very bad on purpose.
Currently, I'm mostly into Stargate Atlantis and Supernatural. I'm enjoying watching: Doctor Who, Torchwood, America's Next Top Model, Dead Like Me, Brimstone, House, Nip/Tuck, Eureka...and so on and so on.
You won't find psychodrama in my journal. You'll find random ramblings wherein I recount my days in great detail and talk about what's on my mind. Sometimes, I'll post links. Or even qizzes, if you're really lucky!
The title of my journal is "wundenlocc" which means 'curly haired' in Old English. (wunden=wound, locc=lock. Like Goldilocks, y'know?) The second part, "bydand" is Scots for 'remaning', my family motto.
I am a citizen of this micronation. I got voted in and everything!
