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.

Photo of the Day: Geeky girl graduates from college in full Stormtrooper gear.
From Stuff.co.nz:
Manja Pieters, 36, is one of 1360 Canterbury University students to graduate this week, and she paraded through central Christchurch in the costume yesterday before receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, majoring in film.
“I have graduated a few times before and I thought, `This is my final time – I’m going to go out with a bang’,” she said.
“I also wanted to bring a few smiles to people’s faces. It’s been tough, with the recession and redundancies.”
The marriage material is strong with this one.

Having been through graduation a couple times myself, all I could think when I saw this was “Oh wow, she must be dying of heat in there.”](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1alayqzYy1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
