I doubt anything sensible comes out of these things, ever, for people like me (but then, few sensible things come out of anything, for people like me, so that's a moot point if I ever heard one), but since my online-completionist-streak at one point demanded that I register for anything that might be half-way interesting, here I am. Plus, I enjoy talking about myself, so that's a bonus. (also, it's a lie. I enjoy typing about myself, I rarely talk about myself in oral communication, but whatever.)

I mostly spend a lot of time at coffee shops - though I am not, to the surprise of my friends, addicted to coffee, I just enjoy the experience and the pleasure of it - reading, writing, taking notes, people-watching, thinking, sighing longingly after my current barista of choice, and contemplating how much better of my personal finances would be if I either got a job as a barista or started going out with one. It's ridiculous how much of my (non-existent) budget goes to coffee, but then I rarely drink, I don't smoke and I generally don't have many vices, so I allow myself the coffee. (Lattes, mostly.)

I enjoy reading, I currently read three or four newspapers every day, I read quite a few books a year (well, more than twenty, less than fifty, usually - impressive to some, less so to others), sadly not as much literary theory as I would want. I'm generally not a big fan of non-fiction, though it depends a lot on the subject. I have an unashamed hate for Dan Brown and Paulo Coehlo. I don't enjoy crime novels, but I have begun reading romance novels for fun and brain-candy, so it's not like I can throw rocks over it, being in a tiny glass house and all.

I like people, in general, though I am a horrible misanthrope at times - it's a difficult combinations, but I try. I have no faith in humanity, but I like the things it's capable of, might be a better way of putting it. I don't identify as bisexual, though OkCupid's rigid lines made it so, I'm queer. (Up until fairly recently, I identified as lesbian, but this recurring desire to kiss men made that seem a bit too complicated (I mean, it makes perfect sense to me, but the world wouldn't see the logic I'm afraid), so queer it is. Also it's such an awesome word, I like it just for that. Queer queer queer, yay!)

studying/nothing sensible - more specifically, I'm doing a master's in literature, focusing on indigenous literary theory in a Sami-specific viewpoint, with added queer studies for fun.

Don't worry, I have also come to terms with the fact that my topic of study will appeal to no one except myself. And maybe five other people. Who are all smarter than me, and thus make me feel stupid. It's awesome!

not talking to people. That doesn't sound sad at all, does it? But I'm really good at entertaining myself, and discussing things with myself, and being by myself. I'm getting better at being with other people, so my social skills are not completely lacking!

... is my delightful wit and my fascinating intellect? Really, I would need people to tell me that, I can't say.

I like a lot of angry feminists, which applies for all the fields, except for food, I guess. Maybe I would also like food cooked by angry feminists, though, who knows.

I enjoy Sherman Alexie a lot, as well as Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Naomi Novik, Jennifer Crusie and Jane Austen. My favourite theorist is Roland Barthes, but I mostly love him for "A Lover's Discourse."

I like Josh Ritter, Kris Delmhorst, Ani DiFranco, Jeffrey Foucault, Sleater-Kinney, Tycho, Rockettothesky, and various kinds of country-americana-bluegrass-whatnot.

I really enjoy silly teen comedies, so Clueless, Ten Things I Hate About You, Fucking Åmål and Bring it On are amongst my favourites. I also enjoy various films with Audrey Hepburn in them, as well as art-house movies shown at the local film festival. I like a good explosion-film on occasion, but I prefer them to not be misogynist pieces of crap, so that makes things difficult.

And I like food, a lot. Except for olives, broccoli, boiled cod and various such things. I love salmon (proper, wild, not farmed), reindeer meat and cloudberries, thus making me a proper Sami, woo.

my iPod, my books, my notebook, my camera, my coffeeshop, my friends

things I shouldn't think about. And I generally spend a lot of time thinking instead of doing.

either at home or at my favourite coffeeshop. I'm dull that way.

I'm really bad at remembering to keep my own secrets

you're not quite sure what you're doing here either.
