[callisto]

Hi, I'm callisto!

I'm a queer twenty-year-old liberal agnostic Jew, currently taking time off from school to figure out what to do with my life. I have more interests than I can keep track of. If the world were perfect, I would spend all my time studying foreign languages.

I have a weird schedule, and tend to keep fairly unpredictable hours. I like dogs better than cats. I'm a vegetarian, in the process of transitioning to veganism. I love to bake, but am crap at all other kinds of cooking. I suffer from social anxiety, which unfortunately does bleed over into my internet life, but I'm working on that.

When it comes to fandom, I stay mostly on the sidelines. I used to write fanfiction, and I would love to start doing so again, though I am severely out of practice when it comes to writing. I flit from fandom to fandom faster than you can blink.

I don't watch a lot of television these days, but some of my favorite shows include Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Xena: Warrior Princess. I recently watched the pilot episode of Glee, which I thought was adorable.

I'm not a huge movie person, but I've been known to fangirl over Star Wars, and I love everything Baz Luhrmann has made. I'm also a big fan of musical theater of all kinds.

Happy Tuesday!

Respectful acknowledgements to ar. I liked your profile layout. I hope you don't mind that I've borrowed it.

A little about me: I love books. No, really, this is the first thing you need to know. If you DON'T like books and reading-- and if you don't like the SF/F genre -- I would highly recommend not bothering with the rest of this.

That said -- I'm not sure what ELSE to say. I work as a graphic designer, sometimes as a freelance artist, and have a degree in art and animation. But I'm currently in school for English and Editing, attempting to get my second Bachelor's so that I can take it on to the Master's level. It's slow going, though. My dream job is to be an acquisitions editor for an SF/F publishing branch.

I write book reviews as a hobby. I also write, in general, with my best friend, though at present we're both a little lacking in motivation (I blame school for that). Otherwise I enjoy talking about my favorite shows, fandoms, and movies. Presently, those would be Psych and Star Trek. By next week, I expect I'll be excited about Burn Notice again, too. And I plan to watch the entire Monster anime series again, which will probably send me into paroxysms of joy.

I play World of Warcraft and can be quite geeky. You have been warned. However, you can rest assured that I'll never go off on a tear about what kind of hardware I'm using -- that's a bit beyond me. I will, however, get quite excited about things like the Sony Reader or WACOM tablets. =3 Painter is my favorite piece of software EVER. If only I would use it more often....

I have two cats and love them very much. Even when they get tangled in my knitting yarn or lie on top of my Go games. I write letters -- yes, REAL LETTERS -- to pen pals in the States and all over the world.

Random facts about me: I love sushi and Indian food, and I have all of the Babylon 5 micro machine sets. XD I also own over 2000 books. My favorite color is red.

Languages: Aside from my native English, I've spent quite a bit of time studying Spanish. Unfortunately, I have no one with whom I can practice speaking or writing it, and my skills are deteriorating rapidly. :( I'd also like to learn Japanese. Ironically, I DO have someone who could help me practice that, if only I could manage to get beyond the basics.

( A few of my favorite books, movies, tv shows, etc.... )

Hobbies and Other Things: Reading, writing, drawing, playing Go, knitting, tarot, and a slew of other things, really, but these are the top ones at the moment.

What I tend to post: I tend to post about things that are happening during the day in addition to updates at my other journals, book reviews, articles, and fun incidents. During the university semester I'll also post about my classes, both for fun and because if I don't, it'll stress me all to pieces. Sometimes I post to-do lists, photos, etc. I also tend to talk about fandom things, etc.

Other journals: I also run book_reviewsand co-mod at reversepolarity.

Warnings: I occassionaly have LGBT or adult content on my journal, so if that's the kind of thing that offends you, I wouldn't recommend friending me.

Friending Policy: I'm pretty easy going, but I do like for someone to tell me/ask me before they friend me (as my journal is locked), just as a courtesy. I like talking to people, but I also like for people to talk back to me, so friends who will actually respond to me on occassion are especially welcome (I will return in kind!). I'm not biased when it comes to age, only to maturity levels. Though most of my present friends on DW are about the same age I am.
