riverdresses | (no subject)

I did promise you all an introduction post one day, did I not? Well, here it is! I hope you can find some enjoyment in reading it, I'm never very good at talking about myself.

A B O U T ♥ M E

Girlie

My name is Elizabeth, though it's not the name I was born with. I came into this world eighteen years ago on February 6th, 1989, as an Elena Christine & not as an Elizabeth Rogue. I was born here in San Francisco & I've lived here all my life. I've never traveled outside the country, though as a very young child I lived in Oregon & Sacramento. I've been up & down the state, but never actually out of it. I've got one half-brother who currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife & my adorable little niece. I'm currently taking a year off school so I can try to figure out what I want to do with my life. I hate school deeply, incidentally, but I like learning new things. I just never had the aptitude for traditional schooling. When I do go back, I'd like to pursue my goal of writing or working in parapsychology. Psychology/Psychiatry & Archeology are also three other areas I might consider working in.

I read a LOT, & I also write a lot. I'm shy about showing things I write to other people, unless I'm extremely comfortable with them, so I rarely post things I write anywhere. I don't read quite as much as I did before, but if there's a book nearby, I will leaf through it. Books help me relax, especially books on space, for some reason.

However, I do have a zine! A perzine, actually, called riverdresses. I'm currently working on my second issue.

My mental health is hard to explain. I've been diagnosed as clinically depressed & I've been taking various antidepressants for almost five years. I take Prozac now & it seems to work the best, usually. I don't really like to talk about these sorts of things, so I'll just leave this where it is.

I'm also bisexual. Happily bisexual by the way, & have been for half a decade! I'm single right now, but I've got plenty of fictional boyfriends & girlfriends! ::giggles::

& I do think this is the time to explain that I am a hopeless, hopeless romantic. I love things very hard when I love them, & I adore romantic things, as long as they aren't cliche & unimaginative. Also, I am incredibly abstract, in almost everything I do. I talk in a very nonlinear fashion at times, I write in an extremely odd way when I'm working on original works, & generally, I can be very, um, strange at times if you don't know me very well. (those who do have learned to put up with my oddities, teehee!)

I also am very impractical at times. Practicality all the time? BORING!

I also hate capital letters. & punctuation. but that is because I am a silly silly girl!

I'm also extremely random & TOTALLY CAPSLOCKY AT TIMES. Sometimes it's in bursts, other times it can be through A WHOLE DAMN POST, IF I AM SO INCLINED. But I like capslock!

♥♥♥ I adore so many things, I can't even remember them all! Some of my favourite things are cupcake aesthetics, hypercute & hypersweet ways of life, Japan & its culture (both pop & traditional), designing everything I can possibly think of, adorable pink things, riverdresses, geeks, faeries, Hello Kitty & her friends, strawberries, really, really long MSN conversations, staying up late no matter what, space art, post-apocalyptic art & media, the more macabre side of Victoriana, the supernatural, ghosts, photography, history, scribbling everything everywhere, downtown San Francisco in December, playing dress-up, tea parties, insane little girls, incense, guerilla art, candy & everything sweet, stationary, Sailor Moon, manga, Courtney Love & everything she does, riot grrrl, cosmic creamy space pop, faery wings & faeries, magick, everything written by Neil Gaiman, the sea, dancing in the rain, living in my head, dancing, reading about quantum physics & realities (my newest hobby! Quantum physics = OMG SO FASCINATING, SRSLY.) & a lot more that I can't even think of!

✄✄✄ I don't like assholes, sarcasm, people so firmly grounded that they can't entertain the possibility of otherworldly beauty, having to get up early, being roused out of good dreams, mean people, practicality & being practical, reality, crappy internet connections, malfunctioning laptops, dial-up, eating meat, hiatuses for my favourite shows & wank of any sort.

Fandom

I've been playing around in online fandoms since I was thirteen. I generally try to be active in one fandom at a time, because if I spread myself too thin, I get burned out easily. My current active fandoms are Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG-1, Supernatural & Firefly. I'm VERY, VERY easily pulled into new fandoms, however - I have no willpower & if it's slashy & pretty, I'M THERE. I've also got a ton of smaller side fandoms that I'm barely active in, so I usually don't mention them in things like this. I'm a solid slasher & femmeslasher, but I do like het & will always respect your preferences. I really don't like fandom/LJ drama, because it is just. so. pointless, half the time, so I avoid it.

Questions?

Ask away! I won't bite, I promise!
