So Here We Are - An Introduction

[lea_hazel]

These days I go by Hazel most of the time.

I'm 28, bisexual, and androgynous; I use female pronouns.

I study biology and psychology; right now I'm halfway through the semester.

Some days life gets me down and I post about it. I don't self-censure. Make of that what you may.

One of my aspirations is to write an original fantasy novel. It's not going too well.

When I post something long, or something that I think most people won't want to read, I courtesy-cut it. This is Law in my journal, because I post about such eclectic subjects.

I have many, many fandoms. Often I will forget to list some of them. Now and then I'll pick up a new fandom with the force of a very enthusiastic gale. My squee is legion, but I also try to look at everything with a critical eye. Maintaining balance between the two is important to me.

My tv tag houses posts about TV series that I like, but haven't gotten deep into, fandom-wise. Nested under it are a number of tags for shows I got super into, or thought I would. For example, Community, which is due to return soon. I may end up posting about it again when it does.

My science tag contains nerdy squealing about how awesome and weird the natural world can be, and how awesome and weird it is that we can learn stuff about it by using our brains. A bunch of nested tags there, too, mostly to indulge my need to come up with funny little tags.

My queerdom tag houses an eclectica of subjects about LGBT politics, bisexuality, gender identity, gender fluidity, androgyny and whatnot. Not everything is political in nature, except in the sense that identities become politicized etc.

My internet tag is a way for me to marvel at the bizarre and wonderful space that is the interblags. Or intertubes. Or whatever.

My video-game related content is split between the games tag, where I mostly talk about various Dragon Age iterations, and the older, slightly neglected simming tag, where I blather about my families and towns on The Sims 2 & 3.

When I'm impressed by something edible that I've made I post it into the cooking/baking/food tag. I tend to slap together hasty recipes and never refine them, though.

The most populous of my reading tags is the books: fantasy tag, because fantasy is pretty generally my jam.

My scarcity on Dreamwidth can be largely explained by my Tumblr anthologyofwhat.

The name was copied over to anthologyofwhat, where I post tiny updates, usually things that I think are funny.

A subset of my fanfic which I have deemed marginally acceptable can be read at lea_hazel.

If you think you might know me from somewhere else, ask me. I've had a lot of accounts under various names over the years.
