Things I post about
My educational experiences, my television viewing, the things I am writing, my complicated emotional life, historical/literary things I think are funny and/or interesting. I talk a lot about the voices in my head, my mental health, and being plural in general. My academic work largely focuses on the cult of the saints, women in Anglo-Norman & Angevin England, 12th century warfare, early Irish Christianity, and the historiography of the middle ages. My non-academic reading list includes J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Catherynne M. Valente, Susanna Clarke, and Anna Akhmatova.
Things I Don't Post About
Much of my religious/spiritual/emotional-not-related-to-my-headvoices musings, most of that goes in balancingbooks, which functions primarily as a catch-all for impressionistic prose about real life. Poetry goes in aventuren. Fanfiction & stories go in karigans_fic. Headmates & associated nonsense is at thetowerhouse. karitweets is all of the above, 140 characters at a time.
2011 is the year of:
finishing my BA (writing my senior studies project on women & military power in 12th c. England) and getting into graduate school. Managing my mental health through natural treatments. Lord of the Rings is one of my predominant fandoms right now, as is The Chronicles of Narnia. I am travelling in my home state a lot and visiting friends.
