Bio

for years i had something long & elaborate here, and then decided it was horribly pretentious. (minimalism, i recognize, is not without its own pretensions, but what can you do.)


semicolon-separated lists are always unwieldy, but. i sing opera; write poetry; spent a gloriously happy year on varsity crew; love too many books to name; prowled the halls of high school with my jumelle [info]polutrope; am taking time off from college; am an inveterate slasher; & would be pleased to make your acquaintance.

i can also be found on dreamwidth as gules, twitter as eyelet, delicious as anafiel & last.fm as fractailsflying, if you need a little more of me in your life.


alternatively, i can pass you on to some of the coolest people i know:
[info]adorerdollylux, who loves soccer football & tennis & gypsies & spain & pours her enormous, empathetic heart out on the page as if she'd opened a vein every time she sits down to write

[info]aramley, who is a graduate of oxford, hates andy murray with a delightful passion & has authored some fantastic fic

[info]avendya, who is another one of these mad scientists i've somehow saddled myself with (♥) & yet apparently my braintwin nonetheless

[info]exsequar, who is in grad school omg for chemistry & waxes adorable on a regular basis about that & all the other things she loves

[info]faeriemaiden, who is a budding novelist & musician & somehow manages to balance enormous coolness with being a total joy & sweetheart

[info]ressie_noldo, who should be around more but is nonetheless wonderful, a dolphin in the ocean of the english language, & shares my love of classical music & also my birthday, yay!

[info]schiarire, who has mad art skillz, is growing out a sweet buzz cut & keeps living abroad in exciting places

[info]virginia_bell, who i am just getting to know but recommend wholeheartedly nonetheless

[info]wanderlight, who shares my love of tea & toast & oatmeal & other such things, & is deeply thoughtful, but still suffers my ridiculous, flailing comments in her journal with good grace

[info]zarathuse, who should also be around more but is admirably unfiltered & fabulous, has excellent taste in music & some equally excellent fic to her name
in alphabetical order, because it saved my ranking them. love you guys!



This is what poems are:
with mercy
for the greedy,
they are the tongue’s wrangle,
the world's pottage, the rat's star.
