A Post (not so) Long Overdue
Apparently participating in LJ friending memes the same week you start uni again is a bad idea? I've been too busy "skimming" ten millennia of human development to say hello properly. I haven't even commented on other people's introductions properly... anyway.
Hello!
Behold, the long awaited introduction post!
Introduction posts is one of those things that more than six years on the internet still hasn't taught me how to do properly. As soon as you're expected to write down things about you there suddenly doesn't seem to be that much to tell.
My name is Mathilda, and as I have yet to come up with a compelling alias I don't mind if that's what you choose to call me. I'm from Stockholm, Sweden, which mostly means I complain about the weather a lot.
I'm currently drifting in my academic life, so to speak; when I'm not studying Ancient Greek and Antiquity I work as a substitute teacher. The studies are both more fun and less trying than my job. I don't actually hate children, but suffice to say I think I'm allowed to complain about them more than the average person.
I graduated from upper secondary school last spring (I'm technically still a teenager, halp), having studied at the linguistic alignment, so I have smatterings of Latin, Russian and Spanish as well. I like languages, but I rarely have the time and energy to maintain them, which is sad. I suppose linguistics would be a better field of study, as I'm so much better at languages in theory.
(What I'm actually hoping to study is theology... maybe. There's a lot of shiny options out there, deciding is getting harder and harder the longer I study at uni.)
Fandom-wise, I've been on LiveJournal since I was thirteen years old, but I've always had an obsessive streak. Ask my parents about how I knew the difference between Saurischia and Ornitischia when I was five years old, or when nine-year-old me slept with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea under my pillow and cried after finishing it. I'm awfully good at the things I love and mediocre at most at everything else. :P
What you'll find here is mostly rambling about rl, studies, and fandom-things; I'm a Whovian, so the fandom-things will mostly be Doctor Who (as you might have noticed *Cough*) but I promise I'm not so one-track-minded as to not post about anything else.
I like talking, so don't hesitate to comment (or ask questions, seeing as this is an introduction post and everything).
Oh, and I also have a Tumblr. And Skype + MSN in case anyone wants to talk.
Now, I have twenty pages left of Iron Age settlements in the Near East to read, so I should probably start to get around to finishing them...
