# About me

Yours truly is a graduate student, with an advanced degree in TESOL and current ongoing studies in anthropology. Although I'm a Missouri native, I've had the opportunity to live and work abroad as well.

I'm an avid reader, with tastes ranging from higher education headlines to fan fiction. I enjoy picking out new plants for my mum's garden, and tending to the houseplants I have at home and at the office. Lastly, I'm fond of a good cup of tea or coffee, constantly sampling different varieties at home or visiting my favorite coffee house after work.

On DA, I don't fancy myself an artist. However, I love to browse and comment when I come across something eye-catching. It's a great way to unwind, akin to strolling through a brick and mortar art gallery!

To you as well, Black! I traveled back home to celebrate the holiday with my mother, brothers, and sisters. It was a good trip, and definitely brought to the forefront those "reasons to be thankful" that often get discussed this time of year. :) (Smile)

Did you have the chance to do something similar?

I appreciate the well-wishes, Cal! There's a cookie cake at the bakery with my name on it, and if THAT doesn't suffice there's always the chilled bottle of dessert wine I have in the fridge, heh.

I like your new profile over at FF dot net. = )

It seems every time I log into that place, I'm finding something new; stuff has changed so much in the past two years, I'm not sure how I feel about it, but there's nothing I can do. It's strange we can post 'cover pictures' to go with our stories now. Ah, progress. (Sigh) ... Sweating a little...

Shagbark In reply to Caliko-44 [2012-07-10 04:22:37 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you, Cal! :D (Big Grin)

I've been a member of FFN since 2007, and all that time my personal profile has been totally blank. Invisible As I had recently tinkered with my DA profile, I figured it was (finally) time to do something on FFN.

Maybe one day I'll unify everything under a single name, but I figure the avatar is a good start. Ninja Plot!

And yeah, you're right about some of the recent changes. They've added some social networking logins and sharing as well as those cover images you mentioned, which are pretty cool.

It's like browsing the aisles at Barnes and Noble, lol.

^____^ Yes---FFN has gotten very high-tech. I'm sure I'll get used to it the more I use it, which I hope will be soon!! I am so exhausted with this move right now. I'll probably be MIA over the next few days, ugh!

One of these days I'll have to do the same, DT. I noticed that FFN has login options for a few of the social networks now . . . it'd be cool to be able to tie everything together!
