INTRO POST

⁜ I am Brittany!

⁜ This is me. Now you know me better.

⁜ I'm also rocknload, shibboleth, captainfuckingkirk, deathbystereo, and sameoldstory.

⁜ I run mandarin101 and en_espanol. My other communities are for my writing, shibboleth, and roleplaying shenanigans, tumult.

⁜ I have moved a lot. I was born in Los Angeles and lived there until I was seven. After that: Big Bear Lake, California, Gilbert, Arizona, Flagstaff, Arizona, Okayama, Japan, Taichung, Taiwan, Tucson, Arizona, and currently Honolulu, Hawaii. Okayama was only for a summer but it made a huge impression on me, and Taichung was for two semesters of college. Now I live with my roommate climax and my psychotic cat Quincey Morris. I'm moving to Honolulu, Hawaii, in August. I'm now renting a room in a house in Kalihi, and looking for something closer to campus for next semester.

⁜ I studied linguistics and languages at the University of Arizona. My native language is English; I've also studied Mandarin, Spanish, Japanese, and French. I understand these languages to varying degrees, but the only one I can really speak without mental agony is Mandarin.

⁜ I'm now a graduate student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, studying linguistics: specifically language documentation and conversation. Like most of the people in my department, my area of interest is Chinese and Pacific languages.

⁜ My interests are reading, writing, obsessively looking up facts on Wikipedia, music, comic books (which is still reading I guess), travel, interrogating people on their personal linguistic histories, politics, politics, and also politics.

⁜ I'm currently an intern for a politician; I've also worked as a land surveyor for, wow, probably ten years at this point. I'm trying to get another job that pays steadier for but now I still work as a surveyor whenever I get a chance.

⁜ My ultimate goals in life are to 1) graduate with an undergrad degree in linguistics, 2) go to grad school, 3) ???.

nkdjned ah, I think we were in the same game ages ago but never really got around to talking?

Adding you on Twitter and Plurk, if you don't mind. I'm fortunes and candylaced

[highways]

Were we? Huh, which game was that?

Awesome! I'll add you back!

[candylaced]

DDD? I played Kairi, new Demyx, Genesis Rhapsodos, new Beyond Birthday and a few others that I can't seem to remember now.

Thanks for the add-back! C:

[highways]

Haha, oh yeah! Yeah I played Dante, Lloyd Irving, and Sam Witwicky there for practically forever it feels like. Among probably a lot more characters.

No problem! It looks like I can't actually add you on Plurk until I'm on a computer, so I'll do that as soon as I get a chance. :D

[candylaced]

Yup, those totally ring bells! Well, it'd be nice to actually get to know you~!

And that's cool. Cheers. C:
