Bio

about
i write zines. i love cats. i like to send and receive snail mail, especially postcards. i am starting to play dungeons & dragons, the side-effect of having a dungeon master as a brother. i listen to indie pop a lot, but i also like big band and punk very much. i collect blythe dolls. i blog. i read a lot of different things, mostly fantasy/sci-fi or young adult novels. i love fairy tales and folklore more than anything else. i work in a bookstore.

this LJ used to be very personal, but now i'm in the process of (very slowly) moving the personal content to a blogger account, while keeping this LJ for literary/folklore stuff. it's custom-friends only for my friends group "litfolklore". if you'd like to see scans from fairy tale books and/or read my thoughts/rants/essays on children's literature and fairy tales, then ask me to add you. otherwise, you're better off reading my public blogs on blogger.

personal stuff will still appear here now and then, but those will probably be readable to one or two people, so it doesn't matter.
