And Here Comes Yet Another Introduction Post

Oh, boy. Here we finally are at the introduction post I always dread writing. The thing I put off for as long as I possibly can. The frightening monster that creeps into my dreams so it can come and haunt me at night. Okay, that last one is obviously an exaggeration, but you get my point.

I should be good at this by now - this isn’t my first time with a blog, after all. However, no matter how many times I need to write something about myself, I always seem to draw a complete blank. The cursor blinking happily over a white, empty simulated page mocks me as somehow, and without any kind of warning, I seem to forget everything I used to know about myself.

But this isn’t a problem unique to me, and if other people can come up with something to write about themselves, then so can I.

So if you’re somehow still reading this, here we go...

The first and most important thing anyone should know about me is that I’m a writer, or so I like to tell myself. It’s the reason why I’m so attached to hyperbole and metaphors. But while I absolutely love creating stories, I also enjoy consuming them. What kind, you may ask? This is a bit of a non-answer, I know, but all of them. Books and comics? I read ‘em. Movies, I watch ‘em. Video games? You can bet your boots that I play ‘em. If the story is good, or it’s entertaining in some way at least, then I’ll happily dedicate a good chunk of my existence to it regardless of genre or medium. That’s not to say I don’t have my ultimate favorites, because I do, but we don’t have all the time in the world to talk about that...

Which brings us on to the next part of this short About Me post: I’m far more obsessed with fiction than I probably should be, and that means I have a lot to say about the media I consume.

But let’s rein it in a bit before I spend this entire post talking about my love of fiction.

Unfortunately, squeezing all the different parts of myself into a neat little 500 words post is far more difficult than High School me would ever have imagined. Let’s end this then by mentioning a few more random things about me that probably don’t matter: I love travelling, learning different languages – why rant in only one language when you can do it in many more? – and I would spend my life backpacking around the world if not for the fact that I love my very comfortable bed, need reliable Wi-Fi, and I really, really like my house.

So yes, this is me. At the end of the day, I’m just a girl who has far too much to say about the things she loves.
