About Me
| About Me | Hi! I’m a huge nerd with a master’s degree in Women’s Studies. At the moment I’m the Only Bi In The Village (er, Woods, actually), but I’m hoping to change that soon. I enjoy scifi anything, reading, music (on a Morning Musume kick at the moment), girl kisses, and sarcasm. My spirit animal is the Eleventh Doctor Owl. |
