Copied in form my blog.
A 23 year old living in Perth, Western Australia usually seen in front of the internet or driving my magna with music up way too loud.
I fall in and out of obsession with varying things, at the moment some of my obsessions include, terrible 80’s music, motorcycles, gardening, reading (and watching) speculative fiction and knitting.
I’m also at various other places and sites including the lj litrix and gretel and dw gretel. I’m also greteldragon on twitter.
Identifying features that you may hear me mention, all in nice neat bullet points:
- After several academic ups and downs, I’m completing part-time studies towards a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in geography, which I love to pieces, but I’m not particularly brilliant at
- I’m apparently a chronic pain sufferer, after getting hit by a car riding a Kawasaki ZZR. This is the reason why my study is currently part-time
- I’m a country girl at heart, despite currently living in a city of 2 million people
- It’s not an exaggeration to call me angry and/or grumpy, I often rant about many important subjects including why I hate cyclists, stupid people, twilight, cages and cities. I find its amazing how relaxing an angry rant can be.
- I’ve been vegetarian half my life and I’m 23.
- If you don’t like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Guns’N’Roses or The Clash, you probably don’t want to be in a car with me.
- I have a cat called Diesel (seen in my default user icon) and my family has a dog called Devil. Both are a bit silly, but loved anyway
- I love gardening, but I’m not very good at it.
- I love speculative fiction, I used to just read millions of books, but more recently I’ve become obsessed with comics and what movies and tv series can show. I now have a lot of comics, and get stupidly carried away when talking about Batman.
