Basic Info BioHey there. Welcome to my little corner of the virtual world.
I'm just your average too-close-to-thirty woman who lives like a hobbit in a small basement apartment while working for the weekend at a call centre in Guelph, and trying to sponsor my fiance from Buffalo (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
tempest56) to Canada. I'm the not-so-proud-anymore owner of a B.Sc. in Molecular Biology and Genetics from the University of Guelph, and three of four years of a B.A. in Criminal Justice and Public Policy. I'm currently on hiatus from school because hey, the money runs out sometime and the loans come due. I live in Guelph, but I'm about ready to leave it because it's hard to build a career here. I was born and raised in Toronto, but frankly I couldn't be happier away from it. I hope to get into forensics in the near-ish future armed with dual degrees, but we all know life doesn't always go how we plan it, right?
I like to roleplay. I spend a lot of time playing City of Heroes on the Virtue server when I'm not working/commuting to and from work. I like to play video games and will always hold to the notion that Falco in Super Smash Brothers Melee is a devastating creature in the right hands - but probably not mine. I am not fond of children, and I have no plans on having any unless I suddenly hit a mommy track so hard I can't repress it - which is highly doubtful. I like cats better than I like most people. I think the world is full of idiots and they don't deserve much beyond the basest of politeness, if that. I like to sleep late, read books like crazy (I prefer mysteries), be sarcastic and cynical, drink a lot of coffee, eat chocolate, do counted cross-stitch, knit. This may classify me as a geek or a nerd, but I rather enjoy what it is I do.
I think, I feel, I bitch and I laugh. This journal is catharsis, record-keeping, a way to keep in touch with friends, and generally amuses me. I update when I feel I have something to say to the world - or to certain people in it - and I stopped caring a while ago if you wanted to read me or not. After all, this is TEH INTARWEB and it's really not that hard not to read something you don't like. I tend not to water down my opinions, and if I tread on toes that matter, I apologize. To the others, well - deal. Life sucks, get a helmet!
I also share space with a magnificent Maine Coon-mix female cat, MacGyver, often just called plain old 'Mac' or 'goddamn cat'. She has the best tail in the world. I've also got a brown and white male rat named Basil who is a savage fucking beast and will eat your face just as soon as he'll eat a Nutri-blok.
Anything else you wanna know? Go ahead and friend me. I won't bite. Much.
