What a great idea! I'll go through all the entries when I'm not at work.

Identity: Yet another geeky bi poly gal with purple hair, age 24, Boston-area codemonkey by trade and crafter by night. In an LTR. The only non-Jew (I'm an atheist, raised in a mostly-secular-Christian household) living in a 6-person Jewish co-op house. Fat and trying to learn how to accept my body and live well in it. Grew up living in various parts of the western USA before college, and love the city but miss the forest.

Passions: All kinds of handicrafts (that brainspace is currently dominated by metalsmithing and knitting, but I've dabbled in dozens of kinds of crafts. Whatever I'm dabbling in at the moment, I can't picture myself not being a person who makes stuff). And, you know, figuring out life and stuff. Thinking about feminism and queerness and fat and gender and stuff like that. Also I'm mono-fannishly hyper-enthusiastic about the Myst games and associated universe (as far as I can tell, Myst isn't the kind of fandom people mean when they talk about Fandom TM... in any case, Myst-related geeking is only a part of what I post!).

How I use Dreamwidth: I crosspost to LJ, and tend to use it as a "life updates" journal and to brag about crafty accomplishments, but I'd like to do more sharing of cool links, sorting through my thoughts on stuff, and hosting actual discussions. Dreamwidth specifically is where I'm trying to find and follow cool people I don't know in real life, LJ is mostly people I went to college with and the associated social networks.

Recent/representative posts: this is a fairly run-of-the-mill braindump; this is a post I'm really proud of about learning and exercising and being alive; this is a bragging-about-crafts post that doubles as Myst geekery.

Rec:

holyschist is really cool and writes about stuff I like reading about :)
