I'm a polyglot anatomist who writes novels and has too many hobbies :)

Hi, my name is Richard, I'm 22, and live in Perth, Scotland. I just moved to DW from LJ and am looking for some friends here.

I graduated anatomy last year, and this is a major interest of mine; I'm interested in the sciences in general. I am also a writer; I'm working on my second novel, and write poetry and lyrics on the side. Other interests include learning foreign languages (working on 11!), coding, crochet, geography, and ancient history and mythologies.

I don't really have criteria for the friends I add, but I do like to connect with someone beyond us simply reading each other's entries. That said, I don't expect (nor give) comments superfluously for their own sake, but it's nice if we interact more than a couple times a month!

The things I write about are mainly my day, my hobbies, and my musings. Just so people know what they're in for: I have lupus, so I do write about it, but I try to keep positive about my health, and have been told I write very optimistically about my disability. :) I am working through the 5000 Question Survey as a nice way for others to get to know me, but also for my own self-analysis. Occasionally I put up photo posts (under a cut if more than four or so).

Impressive! I speak (and sing in) Russian better than read or write in it, and mostly struggle with German. Wow! I don't know very many European languages besides the whole Latin/German/Greek/Russian thing. Maybe a little French, not at all confident in Spanish.

Well, this is only useful if you actually talk with the other person.

You learn to live with it.

Ooh, she is? :D I feel bad claiming Classicism cos my University's Classics department is about as dead as Latin is supposed to be. I think their "science" is a loose interpretation of the word.
Science comes from sciens [scientis], the participle "knowing [of knowing]", you know!

ETA: Oops, I got excited and hit comment before I was done. Thank you so much! And the Facebook thing, too. Talk with you more later!
