| Bio: | I don't think there's much I can reveal here that won't be gradually revealed within. True, much of my journal is locked, but if you add me I'll likely add you back. And it takes a lot to get me to take someone off my reading list.
I will note here that I do have strong opinions. I am not going to sugar coat anything. I never have. Not that my journal is all grim stuff - at least I try not to make it all bloody grim, which isn't easy a lot of the time for your average girl who could be her own chapter in the DSM-IV.
I freely admit to being stubborn, strong willed, hot-tempered, irritable, emotional, self-loathing, hypersensitive, shy, and socially awkward. But the medication and therapy are helping.
I also admit to being pedantic, intellectually snobbish, sarcastic, and cynical. The medication is not helping those things, but that's okay. I'm told it's part of my off-beat appeal.
According to one observer of my diverse interests, "Anyone who lists both Pink Floyd and Palestrina can't be bad."
That's probably one of the best compliments I've ever received.
Warning: I do write fiction. I will occasionally post excerpts, but with sufficient warning and always under a cut tag.
I have also caught the BPAL bug. I do post reviews and other material relating to the procurement of their products. This is also always posted under a cut tag.
This journal is intended for adults only. If you're under 18, move along. Nothing to see here.
While I do not sugar coat my opinions, I do try to be considerate to my readers. |
