About meI am an IT professional, although these days I work in a management role rather than a technical role so please don't ask me to help you fix your computer (I will try if you ask but it's been a few years since I did tech stuff).
I live in York, UK and have done since I came here to attend uni in the late 90s.
I share a house with Jacqui (
asphodellast), who I met in the Buffy fandom in the early 2000s.
Fandom is my main hobby (more on that in a moment) but I also love to travel (or I did in the pre-pandemic times) and to take photos.
FandomI mentioned above that fandom is my main hobby but really it's a lot more than that. It's more like a lifestyle. Being in fandom is a core part of who I am. It shapes my day to day interactions, it's genuinely changed my life for the better over the years, and it's given me some once in a lifetime experiences that I wouldn't change for the world.
( From Buffy to Supernatural )( The really long tale of my time in the Supernatural fandom and how it changed my life )( From Marvel to C-dramas & K-pop )( The Lost Tomb )And that takes us to where we are now! Honestly this was just supposed to be a brief introduction for anyone new to my DW and I have ended up rambling at length.
If you made it this far well done! You've earned a cup of tea or something stronger.
