IRL Bio Junk:
I guess this could be a good thing to include. XD I am a student at UT Law, I went to NYU for Undergrad where I double-majored in Political Science and East Asian Studies, and I spent a semester abroad at Nagoya University in Japan as part of the NUPACE Program. I have dual UK/US citizenship which I will never ever ever give up, because I like being able to skip to whichever line is shorter while going through customs. I love travelling but have not done nearly as much as I would like (ignoring Scotland ♥), having only visited Canadaland, Australia, Japan, Korea, a little of Europe (the Netherlands, Germany, and France) and the UK thus far. Which is really quite pitiful. (I also spent about an hour in Switzerland but all I did was wander around Basel and purchase a Swiss Army Knife. And I'm not even going to count time spent in random foreign airports.)
I speak arguably perfect(ly retarded) English, slipshot French and horrible Japanese. My spelling is a terrible mess because of my parents' brilliant idea to take an active part in my elementary education, so while you can expect colour and favourite to always have a "u" and pyjamas always to be spelled with the proper "y," I start slipping into American when it comes to the -er/-re debate and as a whole my spelling is far from uniform and rather a mess. Sorry if that hinders your comprehension of my babbling. I adore animals (and would have approximately one million of them if I were capable of it!) and distrust anyone who doesn't. I am quite frankly obsessed with Harry Potter, as is painfully obvious by my journal. That's about all you need to know. ♥

Friends Only:
As mentioned in the header, this journal is friends-only. Information about being added can be found in this post. This journal is primarily autobiographical and, as a result, hideously boring. If you are only concerned with my "creative works," you can check out the livejournal for my comic, my personal site for my writings/projects, DeviantArt for some of my artwork, or The Bouncing Ferret for my icons. Also, for fanfics and original stories, friend my writing journal, ![[info]](http://dokuja.com/misc/pencil.gif) terrefyls.
Foreign Characters:
You can mouse over any foreign characters on this page to find their pronunciation and meaning. I make some effort to do this within the journal itself, but usually forget. For example, you can mouseover スリザリンの継承者 here to find out what my username used to be. ;) (If you don't have Asian text support.. You really ought to install it. You're losing out on part of the internet.)
Layout information:
This layout was designed by me, using my own artwork. I also created the custom usericons and other small touches. I can't that ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) av8rmike of ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) s2expressive enough for help in figuring out how things work, but I'm proud to say that most of the adjustments to this journal I figured out myself. (It's using Expressive as a base and is using a customized version of Poe's CSS.) The Harry in the header is a recolour from officially released WB artwork, but the Draco was done by me.
Icon Information:
All icons made by others are credited in the keywords. If an icon has no creator listed, that means it was made by me. You may feel free to use my icons (unless specifically stated otherwise in the comments), provided that you credit me in your keywords/comments.
A Note On Backdating:
This livejournal was not created until August 16, 2002. However, entries clearly date back past that date. The earlier posts are those from blogger and perhaps DiaryLand which have been posted here for.. posterity? Reference? Who knows. |
