Introduction

[sanalith]

I figured I ought to have an "official" introduction. As of right now, I plan for this journal to remain open, so please feel free to friend me / subscribe to me at any time! If I know you from somewhere else, just drop me a line so I can connect the two names in my mind. This will primarily be a place to review books and movies, and some of my more fandom-esq pursuits may find their way here eventually. Everything about my personal life will remain friend's locked over on livejournal.

If you're interested, you can also find me at:

 - My personal livejournal - Crystal Moon - If you have an lj account and want to friend me there, go for it! Just be warned that it's all about my personal life, work, housing, marriage, etc.

- My fanfiction livejournal - Whispering Muse - Mainly fics from the anime Hikaru no Go and Harry Potter, as well as some Labyrinth thrown in for old time's sake

- The DW community empress_elisabeth, dedicated to the discussion of Empress Elisabeth of Austria and her family.

And for those who want to know more, I'll copy and paste some of my bio from lj beneath the cut.

About me

Wife. Daughter. Trekkie. Writer. Bibliophile. Dreamer. Historian. Geek.

I'm an only child who grew up in a really small town and hopes to always live in one. I'm married to an amazing man, and we have a beautiful black cat named Artemis, whom we dote on like a daughter. I have a dual BA in journalism and history, and an MA in history, with a concentration on Asian studies. Both of my theses were on Japanese history. I currently work at a children's museum, where I catalog artifacts, do research, and basically anything else the curators want me to do. My dream is to one day become a curator in a museum with a huge Asian exhibit, and to be a published author.

I love fantasy, sci-fi, romance, mythology, fairytales, happy endings, and Chinese food. I burn tons of candles, adore Christmas, and hope to someday have one or two lovely children to share all this with.

My favorite books include:

Beauty, Robin McKinley
Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
The Harry Potter series, J.K Rowling
Memoirs of a Geisha, Arthur Golden
Gone With the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell
The Last Unicorn, Peter S. Beagle
Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
Q-Squared, Peter David
Time For Yesterday, A.C. Crispin
The Eight, Katherine Neville
The Highlander and Fever series by Karen Marie Moning



I look forward to meeting lots of few friends!
