An Explanation in Place of An Introduction

At first I started this journal because I missed the fannish spaces of my youth. There is nothing relaxing or escapist about Tumblr these days. When I was younger I never got around to writing fic, and that is still a thing I would like to do. I miss having people post primarily on their own blogs because I really like learning something about the writer and the things they brought to their work. I was very much a lurker. I never got around to those things because I was busy going to school and working full time, working more than full time to go to school, than working at paid work, unpaid work, and going to school.

All of this to become an archivist, a professional lurker of sorts.

In the past couple of years I have struggled a bit to find what my projects will be for the next chapter in my life.

I've settled on three all of which tell me I have an aversion to making significant amounts of money. Outside of my job I practice martial arts, read about archaeology, and write a little fiction.

For the past year I've been saving up to go work on a dig in Mongolia. That happens in about two months. Mongolia, and I've never been farther than Canada.

Oh and I still do Fandom: I've been into Doctor Who for the majority of my life, and I found Stargate two years ago. One of these days I'll get around to writing in one of those universes.
