What can one objectively say about themselves? If you want to know something in particular, ask.
But, to give you a little taste of who you're getting mixed up with... I'm a married female in my early 30s, living in Europe for the foreseeable future. I love photography, and traveling, and try to do as much of both as I can (combined when possible). I am an introvert, with social anxiety issues, who enjoys (and needs) her time alone. I've been doing the online journaling thing at one place or another since 2002. I love books, and have, uh, a lot, and want zillions more. I am a movie buff, especially horror, and essentially a horror genre buff as well. George Romero is <3, and I'm fortunate enough to have met him once. My taste in most things is incredibly eclectic (music ranges from pop to rap to scat to oldies; books cover all areas save chicklit/romance; movies range from classics to horror to musicals to action to comedy; and so forth). I am reserved, and crazy, quiet, and goofy, a geek/nerd/dork, and proud of it. I am stubborn, but open-minded. I despise ignorance and bigotry. I have rediscovered my love of cooking and baking. I love writing, but keep failing miserably when I try to write with penpals. I am a walking conundrum, and the only way to find the girl beneath is to get to know me. In the words of the immortal RENT cast, take me baby, or leave me! ~_^
I'm always happy to have new friends. ^_^
