wow, my bio is really poor. what can i say about myself? i guess i'll just paste from facebook.... having had LJ for years and never posted a bio, i now find myself using it less than ever, and i want to post a bio. bizarre.
me: loner, ridiculously independent, articulate, intelligent, silly, sarcastic, funny, don't mind laughing at myself, too fond of food, not fond enough of the gym, telly addict. bipolar, officially but debatably adhd as well, unofficially ocd and a few other bits and bobs, yay! i live with my lovely cats (boobs & millie) and they're all the company i need :)
politics: social liberal, feminist, republican (small "r")
religion: men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest
