Nitwit. Blubber. Oddment. Tweak.: add_me

Aloha~ I did this a little while back, but I'm gonna shake things up this time 'round. :)

(almost) Twenty-five-year-old Australian girl. Full-time Uni student (undertaking a double major in Creative Writing & French, and also a concurrent Diploma of Languages in German).

I've been on LJ since 2002, when I was a fresh-faced sixteen-year-old. I was very much into the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings fandom at that point, and it isn't until quite recently that my LJ has become a place for me to actually talk about my life and my aspirations, and to vent about things that frustrate me. I used to think that posting about fandom was the best way to make friends on LJ. Whilst I still think this is true in some aspects, I'm not looking for someone who will only interact with my fandom posts. I would like to develop a rapport with the people that I add to my journal; after all, we're allowing one another to view our most private thoughts. ;)

I still post a fair bit about my fandoms (Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones). If you're not into fandoms, that is totally cool with me. :) Just be aware that sometimes my journal can be full of nonsensical ramblings about movies/television shows. I try to keep the fangirling to a minimum, but every now and then she rears her head. ;P

I post a lot about my everyday life, which can sometimes include stuff about my family and some of my close friends. More often than not, I try to keep posts about IRL friends to a minimum (after all, my journal is about me, not about them), but you will often find posts regarding my family. My mother is the eldest of eight children, and I have sixteen cousins on her side of the family. So, yeah, a post about my family is unavoidable, as I've grown up around them. :) :) I also spend a lot of time thinking and over-thinking things, and sometimes ranting about the aforementioned things. If you're offended by rants, please don't add me. I tend to get pretty heated sometimes, and usually once I've said my piece I pretty much just move on. But yeah, if you feel like that's something you might like to avoid, I would suggest not adding me. ;)

I'm learning both French and German at the moment, so sometimes I try to write posts in either language (more so French at the moment, as I have more learning experience with it). Please don't feel like you're being excluded from a post if and when it's written in a language you can't understand. I don't generally write anything of particular importance when I write in French. My vocabulary is somewhat limited at the moment. :P It's just so that I can practice and put to use some of what I am learning. :)

I have two cats that I adore beyond words. ♥ So I often update about them, and sometimes even post pictures. :) :)

I adore books, and up until recently I worked in a bookstore (long story, but basically lost my job because the company I worked for went bankrupt). I much prefer horror and sci-fi/fantasy books, but I'm also pretty keen on literature and young adult. Some of my favourite authors are: Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charlaine Harris (guilty pleasure), Poppy Z Brite, Markus Zusak, and Emily Bronte. I'm also currently reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series, and I quite like it. So, I guess you could add George R. R. Martin to the list. :)

I believe that human beings are all equal, regardless of sexual preference, gender, ethnicity, or religious practice, and it really gets my goat when someone says otherwise (be it a religious faction or an individual). I consider myself a panthiest and a humanitarian. I respect people who have faith and practice it regularly, but I don't always agree with religion. Also, if you're racist, homophobic, or don't believe in equality, we probably wont get along at all. ;( We're all human beings. Peace, love, and happiness. ;P

Creativity, hell yeah! :) I like photography. I'm not amazing at it or anything like that. I tend to take more pictures of my cats than anything else. But I do try to get out and photograph stuff if I can. Sometimes I like to post those pictures on my journal. :) I tried to get into painting once, but the paintbrush bit me. D: I also do a little bit of writing. Every now and then I might post some of it to my writing community. I tend to be a little bit self-conscious about my writing, though. So if you're willing to offer concrit, you're my best friend. Anything other than makes me a sad panda. D:

I'm also a little bit odd. I have a really whacky sense of humour (I blame Monty Python for that). I've often thought that my brain works very much like a movie reel, in the sense that everything in my life turns into a ridiculous scenario. If you've ever seen Scrubs, J.D. is pretty much the epitome of the way my brain works.

I think that is pretty much it, in terms of the basics...? If you have any questions, feel free to ask. :) Also...

Please don't add me if...

You rarely update.

You're never ever going to comment.

You think the fact I'm scared of bananas is hilarious, and you would chase me around my house with one. (GRR!)

Your posts are always negative. D: Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, k? ;)
