hello, world

brief note - I'm still planning on using LJ for my blogging and fannish activities, and it will no doubt take me a while to work out everything on dreamwidth. however, I am here! old LJ friends are welcome; just let me know who you are if you have changed your handle.

okay, I'm trying to feel the shiny

right. I am extremely ambivalent about Dreamwidth (not because of the ideology or anything, it seems like a very nice idea and all, I just don't deal so well with change and it's taken me years and years to get my LJ set up the way I like it) but here I am, trying. we'll see how it goes. if you know me on LJ and have a DW, feel free to "grant access" or "subscribe" or both or neither - I think my standard here will be the same as LJ, which is that "grant access" (which appears to be the equivalent of flock?) is reserved for people I know in real life or people from online that I have actually spoken to and have some legit reason to be interested in my personal life of academic woes, and "subscribe" is for both fannish people I am reading and rl people I want to keep up with (as well as fannish people who are kind enough to grant me access to read about their lives). rl babble and academia get locked, fannish things do not. (yes, I have tags and specialized icons for everything. I have a system, okay, don't mock my OCD.)

so... hi! if I know you, friend away! if I don't, say hi first!
