"Read at your own peril if your life intersects with my own." - Tsarina
Quick Guide to Me:
* Touch with permission...and then touch often.
* Honour my inner Bambi. She's naive and painfully literally minded.
* I will discuss just about anything with just about anyone. Very little is off-limit, as long as you approach the discussion with respect.
* I have no tolerance for behavior that is rude, ignorant, hurtful, or needlessly snarky.
* My journal = my world. I reserve the right to delete rudeness within my journal. A well-stated rant, however, may be left intact and scored appropriately. (And I do take bribes.)
* I speak, think, and type very quickly. It can make me very impatient with other people. I'm vaguely neurotic, frequently manic, often obsessive (especially while doing research), and frightfully empathic. I'm very nearsighted, very shy, and very very loyal to my friends. I sneeze and laugh loudly. I sleep soundly. I'm animal-focused. I love passionately. I am striving to become strega.
