My need to do something else other than the something I should be doing, has led me to write a load of twaddle that no one cares about in the form of a conventional profile page on fanfic net.

Let's see, I'm a maths and economics student, which means I spend half my time trying to get my brain cells to do calculus, the other half drinking in order for my brain to forget calculus. It works nicely. While I'm not battling maths, I do rather like writing, which occassionally leads me here to read and, once in a blue and purple spotted moon, post fic of my own. I'm rather a fandom dabbler, I don't attach myself too strongly to one in particular. Although, that said, I do seem to have become somewhat of a Victor Hugo fan girl of late.

FICTION PRESS: http://www.fictionpress.com/u/666759/Scorpicus - albeit there exists only a few, rather over long, poems on my account.

To surrender to convention, I should at this point start making redundent lists of favourite things.
