About Me: I'm a twenty-two year-old Creative Writing major. I'm ginger, asexual, autistic, and astigmatic. I also have brachydactyly type D, which is an impressive-sounding way of saying that my thumbs are shorter in comparison to my fingers than they ought to be, a la Megan Fox. As for my personality, you know those people who are very intelligent and full of interesting information but lack anything resembling common sense? That's me. I can tell you Bruce Wayne's middle name (Anthony), but I can't make change in my head and I frequently trip over my own shoes. I have a livejournal account here, a blog here, and a Tumblr here.

About Asexuality: Contrary to arguments I've heard to this effect, asexuality doesn't mean afraid of sex/commitment/men. It doesn't mean I'm a repressed lesbian, that I was abused, or that I just got out of a bad relationship. It puts me in the one percent of the population that identify as feeling no sexual attraction whatsoever. I also identify as aromantic asexual, meaning that I don't feel romantic attraction either. Could I find the right person some day? Maybe. I'm not discounting the possibility. But I'm not searching for a partner either, nor do I feel the desire too. For more information on asexuality, check out the Asexuality Visiblity and Education Network at http://www.asexuality.org. I'd advise you to avoid the AVEN forums, though, because there is much racism and cissexism there.

Favorite Books: Catch-22, A Clockwork Orange, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Stand, JK Rowling's Harry Potter series, Battle Royale, The Sandman, Speak, The Paper Bag Princess (brilliant picture book that's been taught in feminist literature courses), and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, among many, many others.

Favorite Flicks: Star Wars, Inception, Breakfast on Pluto, The Princess Bride, Mary Poppins, Wall-E, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Back to the Future Parts I and II, Watchmen, and the latest Star Trek. Once again, among many other films.

Favorite Music: This one's tricky. I don't like particular bands or genres so much as particular songs. But if there's one "style" of music I'm very fond of, it's lyrical dissonance. That is, when the mood of the music and the mood of the lyrics are two very different things. For example, "Carol of the Bells," which is all about having a merry Christmas but sounds like horror film music to me, or Suzanne Vega's "My Name is Luka," which is an upbeat-sounding song about child abuse. Artists that I am particularly fond of include They Might Be Giants, The Beatles, Alanis Morissette, Suzanne Vega, and Jonathan Coulton.

Favorite Authors: Stephen King, Dr. Seuss, JK Rowling, George Carlin, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Phillip K Dick, Beverly Cleary, Anne Rice. Among others, of course. I'm a librarian's kid, so I've read a few thousand books over my life.

Favorite Actors: Julie Andrews, Heath Ledger, Leonard Nimoy, Cillain Murphy, Morgan Freeman, Nicole Kidman, Michael Caine, Helena Bonham Carter, Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Zachary Quinto, Clark Gable, Christian Bale, Vivien Leigh, Aaron Eckhart, Mark Hamill, and many others.

Favorite Arists: Edvard Munch ("The Scream") and Salvador Dali. I tend to like minimalism or impressionism. And general weirdness.
