Me = academic librarian, self-described lefty-liberal agnostic, occasionally accused of being an intellectual elitist, which I generally take as a compliment. I do theatre and improv when I get the chance, backpacked through Europe for a summer after college, am a crossword junkie, and read just about anything I can get my hands on. I'm a total extrovert and pretty opinionated, and sometimes need to rein myself in when a heated debate gets going.

I rather like the macabre in a lot of things, but oddly enough I also have a ridiculous romantic/sentimental streak. Travel is a fundamental goal in my life, and I would like to see just about everywhere in the world.

And I keep waiting for great things to happen, then realize they already are.

Message from the Management: My LJ is currently not Friends Only and I'd like to keep it that way, as I'm pretty open and like meeting new folks (which is kind of the purpose of the LJ). So friend me if you choose, or lurk if you must, just please refrain from all forms of stalkerness and asshattery. Merci!
