Dreams surely are difficult, confusing, and not everything in them is brought to pass for mankind. For fleeting dreams have two gates: one is fashioned of horn and one of ivory. Those which pass through the one of sawn ivory are deceptive, bringing tidings which come to nought, but those which issue from the one of polished horn bring true results when a mortal sees them.
Homer, The Odyssey


I used to have a user info that gave all the facts – my hobbies, my job, my age.
Then I went and deleted that and replaced it with not really anything.
But even though I am never sure who actually reads user info pages (I know I tend not to, I rather read a few entries in somebody’s journal to know what they’re about), I decided it was only fair to give some information here. After all, that is why it’s called user info page.

So, what is there people need to know before venturing into the depths of my journal?

I am in my late twenties. But mostly I am moving somewhere between 12 and 120. I can be all bubbly excitement one hour and pessimistic cynicism the next.
At all hours, I tend to not react very well to criticism, but I’m working on that.
I am a librarian, and as the cliché goes, I write a bit when I feel creative. (Supposedly, all librarians are wannabe writers.)
I have the bad habit of really listening to music, that includes listening to the lyrics, which is why I sometimes get angry seemingly at random. There is only so much stupidity and lack of common sense I can accept, even in lyrics.
Even though I have a romantic streak, I am pretty down-to-earth.
I also can be hurtfully honest, so it is best not to ask my opinion if you’re not sure you really want to hear it.

I suppose these are the most important facts. Parts of this journal are flocked, feel free to read and comment on everything else. If you add me as a friend, tell me so I can consider adding you back. If I don’t, don’t be upset. Right now I am trying to keep my flist manageable, as I don’t have all that much time and believe if I friend somebody, I should really read them and pay attention to what they write.
If you are here for fanfiction, please note that usually I post what I write in my secondary journal, (http://tospareyou.livejournal.com/profile)tospareyou (http://tospareyou.livejournal.com/), which was created specifically to spare readers of this journal who are not interested in fanfiction my dabbling in that area.

Important: This journal may contain or may link to adult material. If you're under the legal age of your country to read or look at such material, you should rather read something else.
