31 posts in 31 days or something...
So since I never ever write anything these days, I thought I would snag the 31 posts challenge and try to reinvigorate myself and maybe even post more productively
Day 1:
First of all, excuse my beauty, and the grimaces due to the slicing action of tiny rattie claws. So that's me, and my wee ratters (Fili on the left, Kili on the right). At some point in the last two years I became a rodent lover (my leaving gift from my last job genuinely was a photo of a wet beaver - Castor fiber to be precise.) And yes, I do have a mullet to rival Tom Boonen in the early '00s at the moment.
Since you should never work with children or small animals, I decided to work in zoo education. I actually love my job (honestly!), despite having devoted my academic career to studying primates and ending up working predominantly with my least favourite ones (that would be humans). I'm happy to finally be settled on a rewarding career path after many a false start (I am still undecided whether to admit to being in my 30s or simply to celebrate an annual 29th birthday)
I have been on LJ for nearly a decade now, which seems an awfully long time and is part of the reason for posting, I don't want the place to die out altogether as it's become something of a habit. Of late I am mostly using it to pursue fannish interests (aren't we all?) which include an (un)healthy interest in lycra sports of various kind (I don't just have a performance fabric fetish, I promise) and a love of many kinds of escapist literature. When I was a small child my mother thrust me into the arms of Lewis and Tolkien and she wonders why I still read so much SF/F. *sigh*
I do write creatively on occasion, but it's not just my journalling habit that has been neglected. I am trying to rectify this by enrolling as a continuing ed student in creative writing... one class session in so far, we'll see how it goes.
So for those of you who already know me a little, hi again, long time no see, maybe you didn't know all that.
And for those of you who don't... hi as well, because I'm taking a step back in time and *gasp* making a public entry.
At least I remember how to do an lj-cut. I think.
