Profile

This journal is about two-thirds fannish and one-third personal. I try to emphasize the fun side of life, because I agree with House: "Everything sucks. Might as well find something to smile about." (from episode 2x16, "Safe")

I'm divorced, not looking for a relationship, but not opposed. I'm gray-ace, so I don't expect a connection to happen, but life offers unexpected blessings sometimes.

Friending policy: I rarely lock posts (usually just ultra personal or work-related ones), so I don't automatically friend back. All recs posts will be unlocked. I don't filter, so it's hard to keep up if my flist gets too big. If you friend me, I'll visit your LJ until I get to know you; I friend based on the fannish content of your LJ and the number of fannish interests we share, plus general vibes I get from your journal. I tend to favor my current obsessions, which at the moment are Marvel Movieverse, Person of Interest, Sherlock, and Teen Wolf, with side of comics and a dash of sci-fi TV fandoms. I'm multifandom, so there'll be forays into other fandoms as the spirit moves.


I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating

Your hands once touched this table and this silver,
And I have seen your fingers hold this glass.
These things do not remember you, beloved,
And yet your touch upon them will not pass.
—Conrad Aiken

Melancholia
the history of melancholia
includes all of us.
