Enter Elomaran, distracted
I've been called a lot of things in my life, but at least no one ever called me boring. When I was a kid the others said I'm crazy, and listening to them could have saved me a lot of time with the doctors, because it took them years to find out that I am, in fact, crazy. Usually, this doesn't bother me very much, because I'm used to it, but sometimes it strikes me down like thunder. If you subscribe to my journal - to which you all are cordially invited - you'll have quite a lot of me ranting about my mental health or the lack of it, so be warned, if you'd rather have blue skies and fluffy bunnies, I may not be the right person for you. But I have guinea pigs. Very cute guinea pigs. So really, it's up to you.
In spite of not being boring, I work in a profession that to some has a very boring reputation (it isn't, really!) - I am a librarian. So, I've got glasses and for many years wore my hair in a bun - being unemployed I thought it was best if at least I looked like a librarian, but I had the hair cut when I got the job I'm with now, working for the library of a large polytechnic university in Germany. If you've wondered why my English sounds a little funny at times, that's why, I've been learning it for 25 years now, still, it's foreign for me. My blog, though the entries are in English, has a German title, Flieder & Zwiliecht meaning Lilac & Twilight - not to show off, or to sound mysterious, but because I don't want anyone to think this blog could be related to the Twilight franchise, which it isn't.
I haven't even read the books, and I'm not much of a fangirl for anything else, either, you won't find anything fandom-related with me nor any fanfictions - I am a writer, and proud of it, and I've got my own stories to tell. I write fantasy, but with a twist - being legally insane myself, I'm fascinated with the abysses of the human mind and soul, and there's a lot of madness in my stories, addicts, outcasts and outsiders, I have no interest in writing about ordinary people, or reading about them either. In spite of all my ambitions of being published, I am not, at least not yet, but I am working hard for it, trying to write 500'000 words in 2011.
So, I blog about writing, about my mind, about things I like and things that bother me, I am a geek and a freak, and I'm not boring. Promise. Will you add me?
