Hello! There's not much you need to know about me--I go by Vega here and on Livejournal, where I spend most of my time, but feel free to call me Emma. I'm a university student living in Halifax with way too much time on my hands, which means that in between trying to puzzle out the Russian language and European history, I watch a lot of television and read a lot of comic books. What can I say. I'm an unrepentant shipper, and an incurable romantic. Do pop over to my LJ and say hi; I also have a writing journal linked there where a lot of smaller pieces get posted in addition to what I write here. (And I would recommend that you read posted fic there; I tend to edit and format the things I post to LJ much more finely than here, so it's a fair bit more polished. But, hey.)

man is least himself when he talks in his own person. give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
