About

Ask me things!

Twenty-something English graduate student in Alaska (ask me about it! I've lived here most of my life, including five years in Barrow, the northernmost community in the US) who seems to be in a holding pattern waiting for life to start--rather, less "waiting" and more "omg so busy I must be out of my miiiiind," repeat ad nauseum. Writer, reader, wannabe novelist, hopeful cynic, traveler (up to 15 countries! *fist pump*), Ravenclaw, Browncoat, Whovian (Ten will always be my Doctor), member of way too many other fandoms, proud geek and gamer girl, etc. (favorites so far include the Mass Effect, Portal, and Fallout series, and Red Dead Redemption). Politically conservative-to-moderate feminist (yes, it's possible). Living with clinical depression since at least 2004. Somewhere around the demisexual end of the asexual spectrum. Possibly a vampire.

You can find me in multiple elsewheres, in varying degrees of regularity: in my writing journal, mostly for fanfic and fanmixes; last.fm; and Twitter (same username for Echo Bazaar, where I misunderstood the character creation for some reason and picked the wrong gender), among others. I'm thestarvelingcat on PSN, which is mostly only relevant if you want to find me in Red Dead Redemption multiplayer, and 100indecisions on Steam, as well as at Playfire.

I also run F Yeah Fireflies and F yeah Raspberries, which are...pretty much what they say on the tin, as well as another one for one of my novels-in-progress, and I co-run the Red Dead Redemption blog the gunslinger's lament.

aubade asked: Oh, that's a shame. :( I have a high-heeled pair of Oxfords that just fit my feet weird, they kind of slip out? But Fryes are generally super, super comfortable, and last forever.

Well, I’d probably have better luck if I was willing to pay more than $20 on a pair of shoes. >_< I just…really don’t like paying a lot of money for a single thing, and with shoes I feel like I just can’t know whether they’re going to be comfortable. All the shoes I buy feel okay at the store, after all, and then I discover, well, being on my feet for more than the few minutes I had in the store isn’t much fun. I should really just buy some from Nordstrom, apparently they take stuff back no matter how long it’s been and how much you’ve used them, so at least I wouldn’t have to worry I’d drop lots of money on something I wouldn’t want to wear. I just…really don’t like spending lots of money on a single thing. >_<
