Is this thing on?

So, here I am, on Dreamwidth. It's pretty shiny.

It occurs to me that this is probably a good time to reintroduce myself - to any new folks I'll meet here, and to the people who've had me on their flists for months or years and can't really remember where I came from.

• I'm thirty three, female, Australian/British. (Born in and live in Australia, but I hold dual citizenship.)


• My first degree was in genetics, but I haven't worked as a scientist since a road accident in 1998 left me with some long-term mobility issues; I can't comfortably sit on hard surfaces (like lab stools) and I can't run in the event of chemical spills.


• I'm a long-time geek; I've been playing roleplaying games regularly for more than half my life. We're currently playing Shadowrun.


• I used to write for roleplaying games as a freelance writer - I wrote for Shadowrun, White Wolf's Demon: the Fallen and a bit of general World of Darkness stuff, as well as some one-offs for smaller publishers that never saw the light of day. I stopped when burnout and fairly serious depression caused me to flake on a few jobs; I burnt a few bridges and let people down, which I still regret, but I only rarely miss the actual job.


• I'm a computer gamer; at the moment I'm playing WoW, and have been for four years. I write a fairly popular WoW blog for holy paladins called Banana Shoulders.


• I'm currently single, and not looking for a relationship at the moment for health reasons (long-term complications from the above-mentioned accident). However, it does get rather lonely sometimes, and I'm looking forward to being well again.


• I am a terrible procrastinator, easily distracted, and prone to on-off depression. As you can imagine, I don't get much done a lot of the time :)

So that's me. Hi!

From the brief poking around I've been doing, there do indeed appear to be many shiny things about DW. Already having a blog, a fandom journal, and an RP journal on three different servers makes me uneasy about opening a fourth front. Inertia and the depth of roots makes me loath to abandon LJ. But I suppose we shall see what transpires; it's about community, after all. Fresh start and creativity highly encouraged, in any case! *G*
