I've been trying to think of a good way to kickstart this blog. To cut a long waffling story of nothingness that will waste precious minutes of my time and bore you senseless, I came up empty. So I decided to just go ahead and write.
So, this is me. Writing.
I suppose I should introduce myself but to be honest, I think you can figure it out as we go. Let's face it, most readers of a blog in such infancy as this are going to be people who know you, right?
But hey, just in case I ever reach dizzy heights of followers, what do you need to know?
Well, I'm a geeky girl who likes science fiction, fantasy and role-playing games with a big love for books, especially Shakespeare and Austen. Yes, I know my conversational style is more than a bit 'American' but a lot of colloquialisms are and you know what, I grew up watching Buffy so this is who I am and anyone who doesn't like it probably shouldn't be reading this. Sorry, but that's the way it is and I am nothing if not honest.
I'm a bit of a grammar-nazi and a feminist. Disclaimer: feminism does not mean men-bashing or female superiority, it's about equality. Which women do not have. Granted, we have it an awful lot better in the western world than in other countries but it's still not perfect and why on earth would you give up on something so important before it's perfect? If you need more convincing, I will probably do a blog dedicated to the issue of feminism but in the meantime, watch this. As a feminist, I do not eschew all things feminine. In fact, I revel in a lot of them. Some traditionally 'female' attributes are outdated but giving up all things for fear of being girly is just oppressing yourself. I love romcoms and my favourite colour is pink. Reasons? Well written romcoms explore characters and emotions and I love watching, reading and writing about human behaviour. The colour pink just makes me happy. No one has ever told me to like these things or expected that I should, (being a perverse creature if someone had told me to like something, I probably would have done the opposite) I just do and I am not about to change because of what other people think.
Perhaps this is a little heavy for a first blog but hey, things surprise you when you go with the flow.
