A Possibly Useful Post
Hello, new people from friending meme!
I feel like I’ve reached some kind of critical mass where no really, I can’t assume that people know certain things. (For a long time, a fairly high percentage of my internet friends were also RL friends, who knew things like my RL name, for example.) So, here is Actual Information Post:
*40-yr-old, white, cis woman, married to Wife for 3 years now. I answer to 'Thia' in RL. Here is a link to a photo of me with the wife: I'm the redhead on the left.
*Living in Atlanta, GA area for a year and a half so far, after never having lived outside of New England before that. (Move was because of Wife, who is getting her PhD down here.) Culture shock is still occasionally a thing.
*Two cats: Wife's cat, named Fluff for obvious reasons, and my cat, named Mariposa, who is a purebred Siamese and an adorable little neurotic fuzzball. Fluff is not a purebred anything, although given her fondness of flopping in front of people and requesting love, we think she might be part Ragdoll. Wife would like to get a dog. I have promised that once we have a house, or at least a place with an actual yard, we will see about it. EDIT: Wife, having now seen this entry, wants it known that her cat's actual full name is Fluffanutter - like the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich, to go with the cat's colors - and not just Fluff, "because I'm not that uncreative."
*Politically liberal, religiously Christian, do not tend to post a lot about either one. Occasionally post about my church, but more about the social dynamics therein than anything religious.
*Now working as admin at large university, referred to here as Hogwarts. Previous job was for the federal government. (No really.) I try to avoid posting anything detailed about my current job, due to a healthy paranoia about who might be reading: I don’t think any of y’all are Hogwarts students, but you never know. Also my actual job is not really all that exciting, beyond the occasional WHY IS THE SYSTEM NOT WORKING or AHHH NEED TO PROCESS ALL THE THINGS.
*In fandom since college introduced me to the Internet and Other People Who Like My Shiny Things, for certain values of ‘in fandom’ that do not currently involve much visible fannish activity. Still have Shiny Things, both old and new, and will still happily talk about them.
*Writing original fiction - if you would like in on the 'actually seeing said fiction' filter, let me know. Otherwise, writing blather gets tagged as [writing] in the subject line.
If there’s anything else...feel free to ask! If possible, I will clarify.
