Quiet, sarcastic, somewhat nerdy hermit.

I'm a slow starter with this. Currently studying Anthropology, with an interest in ethnobiology and cultural resource management. But I wouldn't mind living in a natural history museum lab either.

...deflection!

Physically? Probably that I'm "tall for a girl," or that I'm fat. Personality-wise, probably something about how I'm shy, quiet or awkward. Social anxiety can do that to a first impression.

Books: The Orphan's Tales duology, Deathless, and Dirge for Prester John trilogy (all Catherynne Valente), Bridge of Birds (Barry Hughart), Midnight Robber (Nalo Hopkinson), Was (Geoff Ryman). Can I include graphic novels? If I could, I'd have an entire bookcase for Finder, Fables, Birds of Prey, and some others.

Movies: The Iron Giant, Fantastic Mr Fox, Clue, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Death Becomes Her, Pan's Labyrinth, The Court Jester, The Fifth Element, Resident Evil. I did like Marvel's The Avengers. Basically, anything animated, fantasy, goofy whimsical comedy, or action-filled-but-not-in-a-war-film-way. Movies that don't make me hate people/the world in the end (it doesn't need a trite happy ending, but I don't like hopeless, depressing conclusions either).

Shows: Leverage, Eureka, reruns of CSI/NCIS/Bones (guilty pleasures), Avatar: The Last Airbender, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Batman: The Animated Series. I do like some reality shows - Top Chef, Project Runway and RuPaul's Drag Race.

Music: Dependent on mood, and I'm rubbish at remembering bands/singers and track titles. Thanks to my father, I grew up listening to Tiffany, Enigma and Heart, and I think it's influenced my musical tastes.

Food: I lack friends who are willing to try new foods, so I'm basically over-the-moon excited to be introduced to something new. I especially like seafood-based dishes. If I could eat one cuisine forever, it'd probably be Indian (though I am only familiar with certain regional styles - like I said, my friends stick with the familiar - but what I've eaten so far has been amazing).

Books. Mostly fantasy and a bit of nonfiction like ethnographies or folklore collections. I would like to read more nonfiction and other genres, but I only seem to remember this when I'm not in a reading mood, and when I am picking out books to read I end up choosing that fits my usual interests, rather than something new in a new genre.

Animation, particularly stop motion and traditional hand-drawn work. While I'm not a fan of anime, I don't dislike it either; the only anime I've seen is a couple series on Hulu and 90's stuff like Sailor Moon and Samurai Pizza Cats.

Comics, paper or web-only. I spend a lot of my time archive bingeing on webcomics since it's cheaper and more space efficient than buying floppies or collected editions.

Going for walks, especially in parks and preserves. I went kayaking for the first time ever in Newport Back Bay this year, and it was the best hour ever.

Writing fiction.

Learning new things.

So, example time. Today I came across yoga pants called Serious Pant and was like, "THAT IS THE BEST EVER, FOR I DO NOT HAVE ANY SERIOUS PANT (YET)." It's like realizing your life was missing something, and then you find it online, for $74USD! (I did not buy them.) A couple weeks back, I came across made-to-measure jeans. At first I was dismissive about it, until I saw that Helen Mirren liked them. Now I like them too. Because Helen Mirren!

I don't think there's any one topic I think about on a regular basis. Circling the same thoughts is a sign of spiralling-out-of-control depression/boredom, so I try to think of other things, usually about observations or discoveries I've made.

I guess I think about my studies a lot, and what I want to do with my life, and about my writing. But that doesn't mean I'm not also thinking about pants.

Probably relaxing, petting my cats, reading a book or playing a Flash game.

My favorite memories mostly involve being alone. My least favorite memories mostly involve being alone.

Also, I LOVE the Puppy Bowl.

...you feel like asking what cartoon series needs to be rebooted next (obviously the answer is Pirates of Dark Water), or webcomics, or just feel like sharing an anecdote.

Gonna have to add: DO NOT MESSAGE IF YOUR PROFILE IS COMPLETELY BLANK. That is just creepy, like one of those blank-faced mobs from a horror video game. AND I DO NOT BEFRIEND HORROR GAME MOBS, IT IS JUST COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.
