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.

Yeah for real. I thought I’d have it all together at 20 cuz 20 was like… OLD. And I’d go to college with my old 3 best friends from 3rd grade and we’d all live happily ever after.
Maybe I’ll have it together by 30…. or I’ll have to reblog this again then… if tumblr is still here lol

My friends have heard about all they care to about Charlemagne and his son and grandsons, as well as a fair bit about how much I dislike typing Charlemagne.  (I speak English and Spanish, so French spelling is sometimes physically painful for me, but I love the Franks too much to care!)
Please check out my tumblr: loveadvicefromanhistorian.tumblr.com  (I think you guys might like it…)

Anyone who’s been on my Tumblr for longer than a very little while probably knows that I wrote a bajillion pages on Twilight and rape culture for my master’s thesis and I still won’t shut up about it.

Sunday’s outfit, with bonus background pug. I feel like maybe I thought this dress looked better when I tried it on at Value Village.

Look what came in the mail a couple days ago! I entered the prize giveaway last time Rockstar did a multiplayer event in RDR, and I got an email saying I was a potential winner but I didn’t know I was actually getting (the advertised prizes were things like a customized RDR controller and RDR t-shirts, but it didn’t sound like I was getting those). So: here it all is. Rockstar stickers, Rockstar shirt, and RED DEAD REDEMPTION CARDS HECK YES.

GUESS WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY. YES IT WAS THIS. He is currently sitting next to my computer, staring at me, and I grin every time I look at him.

Also! Wheatley with in-progress Chell doll! Blue Sky Chell in this case, because duh but also because I need to make the Aperture jumpsuit and haven’t yet. I only did anything with her today, so that’s what I had on hand, which is more or less what she wears to rescue Wheatley…except no long-fall boots because I need to make those too. >_<

What I wore to church for Easter: another experiment, and I’m not…totally sure what I think. See, the second layer is a dress, not a skirt, and just wearing the two dresses on top of each other (second picture) meant that not enough showed, but trying to wear it lower was difficult and maybe showed too much. Since they’re different cuts I think the layering works better here than the last one I tried, it would just be a lot better if it was an inch higher or something.

Church outfits from last week and today, respectively.

Today&#8217;s church outfit, which is pretty great, if I do say so myself. The coat and dress are both Value Village finds, naturally.
