...is many things, and is not many other things. If you are wondering whether she is some particular thing, ask. She tries not to bite without your express permission.
She has also just discovered the joys of writing about herself in the third person. It is doubtful that this phase will continue for long, for she is also fickle as all get-out. Except when it comes to London: she loves it fervently and will be moving there this year has just moved there been living there for almost ten months now, continuing the love unabated.
In this journal, she is very frequently a squeeing fangirl, though mostly with a brain. She is not particularly politically interested, but all for the girl-touching as well as the boy-touching, so that should give you an idea or two. She is also a photographer, a frustrated writer, and has a thousand ideas of what she wants to be when she grows up, but not one to settle on. She has a penchant for self-examination in excruciating detail; there will usually be some sort of warning on entries concerning such.
Whatever the topic, she does tend to go on a bit in a wordy manner, although she realises that brevity is the...something of wit, only she's useless at it. Another thing she's useless at is remembering quotes correctly (sometimes even at all).

Her current moodtheme is Florals by ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) girlboheme @ ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) frostianmoods and can be found here.
Unless noted otherwise, icons and layouts are by yours truly. Credits for brushes, textures, etc. can be found in this resource post.
Friendification is encouraged by all means. A comment when you do would be absolutely darling, because she tends not to check her userinfo often and might miss it. She will almost certainly add you, too, because she'll wonder why on earth you added her likes getting to know the people who read her journal.
Although she doesn't comment a lot, she reads everyone and everything on her flist, down to the last meme (because people do memes when they're tired or bored and they slip up and spill stuff they'd never write about otherwise and you never know when you need blackmail material). However, she is also aware of and proficient in the use of the scroll wheel as well as the back button. Meaning, the devil she'll complain about whatever you choose to post in your own journal.
LJ Cuts will be used in this journal beyond a certain (arbitrary and varying) length of text, more than at most two or large pictures, and for any and all spoilers, however minor and no matter the age of the material.
If you post spoilers (especially for anything on the telly in the list below) outside an LJ-cut, she swears by Mal's pretty floral bonnet she will end you. She is a lazy git in general, so she might not quite send the Hounds of Hell after your inconsiderate arse, but she will very likely take you off her list. If you find yourself riding in green fields with the sun on your face forgiven for an un-cut spoiler, rest assured that she must love you like whoa.

co-maintainer (mostly for prettifying purposes) of obasc and sobfas, for all your obscure brit actor needs.
Many of her pictures can be found here and there. Most will also have been posted on the journal, accessible through the photos and photography tags. (One day she will get around to deciding on one tag and stick to it...)
midshipgirl is the Journal Of Organised Randomness, where she dumps the occasional spoiler-dripping film diary; wish-, track-, and other lists; poems and quotes; the odd piece of fanfiction; surplus icons.
julchen is the journal kept in the native tongue, which has been on hiatus for a long while, but may start up again at any point. |
