druidspellHey y'all, my name is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
druidspell and this is my first LJ Idol. My best friend encouraged me to participate this year, because I was looking to get back into the swing of writing more frequently, so you can blame phoenixsansfyr for everything ;)
A brief list of relevant information:
I'm a 27 year old asexual woman living in central Texas, and currently in a job I don't love but does provide me with money to pay my bills, so at least there's that.
I majored in English (emphasis on creative writing) and Anthropology during my five semesters of college before I had to drop out for financial and health reasons.
I love reading fantasy, history, and fanfiction.
I have very strong feelings about NHL hockey. I'm a diehard Chicago Blackhawks fan. My greatest accomplishment of 2013 was luring three other people into hockey fandom, and I have made arrangements to be off work during nationally-televised Hawks games.
I cross-stitch, usually while watching Netflix.
I do most of my plotting for writing at work, since aside from basic arithmetic and social niceties I have virtually no need to engage my higher-level thinking at work.
I come from a large extended family, have two older sisters, and one niece. However, my extended family has grown much more distant over the years, and that frequently informs my writing.
I listen to a lot of podcasts--Girl on Guy with Aisha Tyler is a favorite, as well as Welcome to Night Vale and a few fannish and hockey-related shows.
Since moving to Texas, the severity of my depression has been at an all-time low and therefore my creativity is flourishing. I can't wait to get started, and I hope this community will provide me with a lot of positive memories and experiences.
