A Proper Intro Post

[gatty]

Now I have successfully dealt with my major academic requirements for this week, I thought I'd do a proper intro post for all my new friends! Can I just say how lovely it is to see you all on my flist - I actually had to go back two pages to catch up this morning! It's be years since I've had to do that

Damn I envy you for all the travelling! I've travelled some (mainly when I was younger with my parents, and during the recent years I've spent a lot of time in the UK), but I wish I could do it more often and - farther.

My Tumblr is Synekdokee, in case you hadn't found it yet.

Travelling is fun! But exhausting and money draining. And after a while, lonely. My only travel advice would be: don't go anywhere if you don't have a home to come back to. That shit's depressing yo.

I have the same ID on tumblr and I'm lyryk42 on twitter. Will add you when I login there next; like you, I'm too busy basking in the glorious activity that is LJ today!

OOOOH, Sarah Waters! And dissertation on liminal space! I like you very, very much already. :-DDD

[gatty]

Hurrah! Will follow you on tumblr asap. Apologies in advance for the huge relentless pile of Tolkien squee my tumblr is atm.

Liminal space is the most fun, it's an excellent way of saying f you to a huge pile of critics at once.

My name is the same on Tumblr. :)

o7 duly noted :D

I apparently decided talking to you on - what - two lj entries and tumblr? wasn't enough and jumped in for a third :D

No, but really I just wanted to say that I think it's so awesome that you're aiming to write for a living. I'd love to be able to do that as well, but I'm not quite that creative. Also, I totally hear you on the language dork thing. I basically just want to spend my life learning languages.

kjhdkfgd I think I've lost track of all the different comment threads we have and replying to them. I'm proud that within days of the meme I have co-opted a brain twin. I need to write more Hobbit fic. People need to hear about our elves (we are geniuses did no one mention this).

[desecrets]

haha I've lost track too. That one dialogue was basically just a beautiful trainwreck, I kept wondering when it would stop and it never did (currently I think the ball is in my court). And yes, you need to write more Hobbit fic. This is truth.

[gatty]

That conversation is beautiful I think we need to post it at some point.

Travel bug (and language bug) is awesome, let me love you <3 Your academic works sounds great, as well, I'm looking forward to your updates on that (if you do them).

Your tumblr looks fun (your link is the wrong way around, just fyi) - I'm peoplearelikesuns.

My recent icon favourites are numenor, wildpages, ayyur, bittergraced.

Ooops thanks have fixed the link. Thanks for the icon recs! Will check them out :D
