This profile may or may not be updated on anything closely resembling a regular basis (e.g. I had an account for two years before writing a profile) . . .

I graduated from university recently with a Biology major . . . and a minor in English literature. After working at my town's independent bookstore, I realised something--I wanted to be a librarian. Presently, I'm in library school and trying not to go completely mad. I'm not an author--I mainly signed up for an account so I could keep track of my favourite stories and authors, as well as review.

Doctor Who is my current main fandom (or possibly obsession, depending on how you see things). Eight is "my" Doctor and I 'ship Eight/Charley as well as Eight/Grace. (For the new series, I 'ship Doctor/Rose--mostly Ten/Rose and Eight/Rose). Ian/Barbara is my Classic Who 'ship. Because they both WIN.

X-Files has sneaked up on me a bit--I only started watching it recently and haven't quite finished the series yet . . . but it has firmly set itself up as my secondary fandom nonetheless. I 'ship Mulder/Scully, think Skinner is AWESOME, and want the Lone Gunmen to meet Abby from NCIS and Hogdins from Bones (I refuse to believe a certain s9 episode happened)

My other fandoms (and 'ships) include CSI (Grissom/Sara), Phantom of the Opera (Erik/Christine, but kind to Raoul--mostly the ALW- and Kayverses); House M.D. (House/Cameron); Torchwood (Jack/Gwen); Pushing Dasies (Ned/Chuck); Moonlight (Mick/Beth); Jane Austen (the canon pairings); Harry Potter (Remus/Minerva, crackish as it may be); Bones (Booth/Brennan and Angela/Hodgins); NCIS; and Firefly (canon ships, though Simon/Kaylee is my favourite).

A few of my favourite quotes:

“But I don’t want to go out among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be.” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here”
~Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

"I want to think quietly, calmly, spaciously, never to be interrupted, never to have to rise from my chair, to slip easily from one thing to another, without any sense of hostility, or obstacle. I want to sink deeper and deeper, away from the surface, with its hard separate facts. To steady myself, let me catch hold of the first idea that passes . . . Shakespeare . . . Well, he will do as well as another."
~Virginia Woolf, "A Mark on the Wall"

"The average life is full of near misses and absolute hits, of great love and small disasters. It's made up of banana milkshakes, loft insulation, and random shoes. It's dead ordinary and truly truly amazing. What you've got to realise is it's all here now. So breathe deep and swallow it whole because take it from me, life just whizzes by."
~Eugene Jones (Torchwood, 1x09 "Random Shoes")

"Mind you, I quite like hope. Hope's a good emotion."
~The Doctor (Doctor Who, 28x13 "Doomsday")
