About Me


I'm Otana, a 28 year old British woman living in Southern California, just outside of Los Angeles. I grew up in London and made the move here in July '05, so far with no regrets. I'm in a committed relationship with [info]manawolf and love her dearly; she is my world. We live here with our three cats, Roto, Pisaro and Sonar, our roommate [info]wodhaund and her two cats Oryx and Halen. Our house has been named Chez Fishtank and we are the Guppies.

Right now I'm serving on the Board of Directors as Secretary of Los Angeles Friends of Tibet. We're an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that gathers funds for displaced Tibetans in Dharamsala and around the world, shares knowledge of the Tibetan culture and raises awareness of the current political situation surrounding Tibet and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. I'm a Buddhist with Mahayana leanings, and I occasionally head on over to Dharma Punx to sit. I am very inexperienced in my study however, and I have a lot to learn.

I have a lot of interests, too many to cover here. I'm a huge X-Men: First Class and Jak and Daxter fan and spend a lot of time hanging around in [info]carpebrewski and [info]capslock_jak, adore Dragon Quest, and I am a Xiyouji (Journey to the West) fangirl. I enjoy writing and casual roleplay, and I was a moderator at [info]ms_elegante and currently play at [info]luceti. However my main passion is cooking. Over the last few years I like to think I've gotten pretty good at it, and I really love hosting parties with my friends so I can feed them.

Why Friends Only


Stalkers are crazy people and who knows what their motives are. I locked my journal down a few years back to block one particular stalker, and could never be bothered to go back.

Friending Me


Go ahead! Drop me a message on my public post and I'll add you back as soon as I get it; if you don't let me know you've friended me, I'm unlikely to notice. ♥
