baratronI rewrote my livejournal profile last night. I thought I would reproduce it here for your delight and delectation, and also so that it gets saved in my main journal with a timestamp. I'm sure it will change again in the future, but for the moment it's an accurate picture of who I am now.
I define as Girl. An adult, never a "grown-up". Short, not thin. Dark hair & brown eyes. Black clothes, blue boots. Neither butch nor femme nor androgynous. Occasionally feminine, but usually by accident.
Queer, polyamorous. Bisexual [1]. Resolutely childfree [2]. Geek. Disabled. Intermittently asexual [3]. Thoughtful & interested in Stuff. Half-practical, half- dreamer. Grammar pedant, but Fond of Random Capital Letters and Brackets. Loves London, food, Words, and strange Japanese video games. Life-partner of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wuzzie, extremely fond of alexa_robinson, cares for Family of Choice, not blood.
Totem animals: Wolfy, Octopus [4].
Totem cartoon character: Buttercup from the PowerPuff Girls.
[1] I don't like the term "bisexual", but there's not a good alternative. I think of it as meaning "attracted to more than one gender".
[2] I like children perfectly well. I just don't want to have any. See![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
childfree.
[3] Seeasexuality.
[4] Wolfys are like wolves, only with more fluff. There are other differences, but that's the main one.
I have 150 interests listed. Actually, I wanted to have more than that, but that's the limit. So I went through removing tautologous ones (such as "cwoa" as well as "chessington world of adventures"), and things that I wasn't that interested in.

Date: 2002-09-15 02:45 am (UTC)I think you mean synonymous...
This is my main gripe with the LJ interests system - they're not taken from a fixed vocabulary, so people keep inventing new ways of naming the same things, and there isn't any way to state that (for example) "cerebus" is the same as "cerebus the aardvark", or that "sf" (science fiction) is not the same as "sf" (San Francisco).
Anal retentive? Moi?
