Bio:


"We are all the unofficial biographers of ourselves, for it is only by constructing a story, however loosely strung together, that we are able to form a sense of who we are and of what our future may be." --J. B. Thompson

"There are those exquisite days that seem to drift by, like dandelions caught on a light summer breeze.
Then there are the rest of them--the ones that drift by like dandelions superglued to the arse end of a bull elephant." -- John Constantine, Hellblazer #116

"I was born alone and lucky, and I'm just used to it that way." -- New Model Army, 'Marrakesh'

"They can call me crazy if I fail, all the chance that I need is one in a million, and they will call me brilliant when I succeed-- gravity is nothing to me, I'm moving at the speed of sound, I just want to get my feet wet 'till I drown." -- Ani DiFranco, 'Swan Dive'



IMPORTANT: To everyone looking to contact me, do NOT use my hotmail account. Email the pwcons account instead. I do NOT check my hotmail address regularily, and I might miss your message if it's important. (However, my Pwcons email has been iffy lately, so if you're not sure if your mail got through, try the hotmail anyway)

Hi. I'm Norn, or Len if you prefer. I'm 21, female, not a natural blonde, blue-eyed, and very, very Dutch.

I live with my mom and brother in watery Culemborg, the Netherlands, which like most of the country is chiefly famous for its rivers, grass, and illegal immigrants. Like many women my age, I have a troubled relationship with my estranged father, which is to say I'm troubled because he's estranged from reality and he's confused because I'm not. I've got a Saint Bernard named after a video game character, and two chickens named after comic book characters.

I may be somewhat of a geek, as evidenced by the fact that I study Media Sciences at the University of Utrecht. I minor in the terribly fascinating fields of Television Studies and Media Management. I am a walking, talking encyclopedia of pop culture references. Yay me. Religiously, I'm a Discordian, which means I talk a lot and most of it is very funny and I am very sad that you are going to be turned into a precious Mao Button and distributed to the poor in the Region of Thud.

I like the boys and the girls, which is not likely to be your business in any way, shape or form. I would make a piss-poor feminist, so rather than even trying, I've taken up causing gender-related cognitive dissonance instead.

I've spent a couple of years being tough as nails and dumb as a post, after which shit happened, and I've spent a couple more years being smart like a fox and anxious like Courage, after which more shit happened. It was all very Dawson's Creek. Neither of these approaches turned out to work for me, so as of recently I'm kicking back and trying to find some of that middle ground. Compromise is king, and all that.

Within this journal, you will find:
- Rants about the Fandom of the Week (which has been Cable & Deadpool lately)
- Rants about Politics
- Rants about the weather and its constant attempts on my life
- Lots and lots of mentions of Bad Religion
- Episode reviews, whenever I can be arsed
- Speed skating and Proper Football chatter, depending on the season
- Talk of StarCraft and GGnet-related incidents
- Hilariously unfunny one-to-two liners announcing new installments of my hilariously incomprehensible webcomic
- A lot of cursing, mostly
- Original fic
- No fanfic. That goes elsewhere.
- Finally, I play a couple of characters over at [info]fandomhigh, which rocks the socks, when I'm not busy driving myself insane over how IC I'm not being. (I am, yes, a total chickenshit about this, and will freely admit so)

Should you for whatever reason wish to add me as a friend, by all means, do so. Hell, hit me up on MSN. I'm probably more scared of you than you are of me, provided you can deal with the growling.

Communities adminned:
[info]camp_toccoa - they asked me specifically and I don't know why
[info]krezip - which is a band I can unfortunately no longer really enjoy
[info]eristicmystics - because in the land of Eris we are all mods

I'm also an admin (as Language Team Leader/Templar and Editor) at GosuGamers.
