Templates? We don't need no.... well, never mind.

So, I'm just gonna wing it.

I am a medieval historian (with the masters' degrees and all) and a video game scholar (also with an MA), but I also play games a little obsessively. I used to teach college, and loved it, but the pay was awful, so now I teach middle school. It is wildly frustrating for more reasons than that it's middle school... I'm also a mom, artist, crafty gal, atheist but a little witchy here and there.

My fandoms. Well, lately they are mostly games (and my crushes are all pixel crushes...) but there are several non-game fandoms that will always be near and dear. Here goes:

Shows
Buffy
Supernatural
Firefly
Sherlock
Fringe
Warehouse 13
Bones
(I know they're all old; I don't have cable, and rarely watch TV!)
I loved Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel

Games
Destiny 2 (over 2,500 hours...)
Skyrim (yes, modded, but not 'that' kind of modded, if you know what I mean. Mostly graphic updates, a few new areas/adventures, stuff like that. If you have bikinis, poolside palm trees, and sports cars, you are no longer playing Skyrim, and that is a hill I will die on.)
Fallout 4 (I have a love/hate with 76, and the show was horrible. I said what I said.)
Greedfall (SO underrated! Vasco is everything! LOL)
Valheim
Savage Lands
CoreKeeper
Minecraft
Terraria

Books (These are mostly long-time favorites, because who has time to read non-academic stuff?)
LotR
Watership Down
Nineteen Eighty-Four
Ibsen's later prose plays, from Doll's House to When We Dead Awaken
The Prince (Machiavelli is tragically misunderstood)
The Divine Comedy (I would SO love a reading group to read Inferno; I miss teaching it!)
I love the Outlander books, the show - meh.
Discovery of Witches (Again, loved the books, but the casting was horrible, and yeah, no.)
A Bookman's Tale
And of course, I cut my teeth on stuff like Dragonriders, Darkover, Amber, Elric, etc. The classics. (I may be old....nah!)

Music Not really fandoms, but stuff I like:
Uh...everything? Nah, I got this.
Assemblage 23
Lorenna McKinnet
The Hu
Medieval choral music
Ella Fitzgerald
Sabaton
Mary Chapin Carpenter
The Tannahill Weavers
(Yes, I am completely musically schizo, why?)

So that's most of it. I don't generally get along with anyone deeply religious, and MAGA/Trump supporters, just no. I am totally pro-LGBTQ+, feminist, etc.

Hi. Nice to meet you. I would love to be friends. We have Supernatural, The Lord of the Rings, Lorenna’s Bells of Christmas is my favorite. Maybe more interests. Feel free to check my list on my profile. I am Asexual. 4O years old. French Canadian. But I think that I can handle English. I speak and write it for over 3O years. :)

Welcome (or, I guess, Welcome back!) What was your previous username, if you don't mind my asking? I love your layout, by the way. The first person to drag me onto LJ was totally smitten with both Winchesters, long before I ever watched the show myself, so your journal feels a bit like home. So happy to have you here! :)

P.S. On behalf of my very fractured country, please accept my apologies - most of us think Canada is awesome, and have nothing but horror at the garbage coming out of a certain tangerine terror...

Thank you, kindly. I was known as Mooseygirl. You are too kind. I have many different layout graphics. I always change it to my mood of the moment. Oh, is that so? I wonder who this first person may be? Maybe I know them. Your icon of Jensen is so adorable. The light is perfect. You are okay. Do not apologize. :)

[lunadelcorvo]

I remember you! So happy that we crossed paths again!

[petit_elan]

And so am I happy that you remember me. I was not sure if you would. Hee. Thank you for accepting my friendship again. :D

[lunadelcorvo]

My pleasure, hoping I can make this home again! :D

[petit_elan]

I am going to make sure to keep you updated if I ever feel like wanting to disappear of the site again.

We share some fandoms in common (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Warehouse 13, Skyrim, Lord of the Rings, Nineteen Eighty Four) along with the love for Loreena McKennitt and Sabaton.

Friends?

[lunadelcorvo]

You bet! Welcome! I see you have a lot of things closely adjacent too, like if I have more slots for interests... So happy to have you here!
