1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
My paying/day job is that of a library assistant (cataloging assistant). I do everything from copy catalog backlogged books to revamping websites, to editing badly converted bibliographic records. I work for a University library....and they like to send me to two different libraries and three departments. I love it anyway.
For all practical purposes, I am a professional novelist since I sold copies of my book, "Social Disease." However, I'm self published, and there aren't too many more goth festivals where I can purchase vendor space nearby. It's a novel set in a fictional goth scene.
The hobbies consist of a webcomic, Project Poppet, and two blogspot blogs, one about knit fashion and the yarnbombing movement and a second dedicated to horror movie reviews.
I also knit like a fiend.

Female.
