Basics:

I am Diana.
Call me Dee.
Also answers to Di, Deedee, Evie, Titania, Tany, Lulu, the Goddess, Bitch Goddess.
Last time I checked I was female.
On my last birthday I was 23. Fnord.
According to the stars: Gemini, although I'm almost on the cusp with Taurus. I'm very Gemini, though. Everything except the bad bits. No, really. Well, maybe I do occasionally exhibit fickle, short-attention-span tendencies. Bored now...
My natural habitat is Australia. Currently ensconced in Melbourne, in a swish city pad with my Male. Originally from a pit of despair^TM in central Queensland called Gladstone. (Don't go there. It has nothing to recommend itself but me, and I'm no longer there.) I went to Canberra for university. Am now in Melbourne. If I move again, I'll probably end up in Antarctica.
When procrastination fails... I'm currently enrolled in a Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing at RMIT in Melbourne. Finally, I'm pursuing my first and dearest love - the creation of fiction. It's fantastic. Prior to this, I went mad and did an Honours thesis. Hah. Title: "Caveat Clausewitz: the evolution of strategic theory". In my degree, I did a Mandarin major. I also studied a lot of political science, and some German and religions.
What do I look like? Well, that picture on the left there is me. Basically. I'm a lot more natural and a lot less orange than that.

Currently:

Listening to: An awful lot of Tea Party, Marilyn Manson, Zombie and Stabbing Westward. Angry young thing? Me? Nah, not really.
Hair: (Still) cut in the Storm/BMB's Tabitha haircut, with slick bob and two longer chunks in front. Mostly a lighter shade of natural, still tiny bits of burnt black at the tips of the long bits. It's a weird 'do. I'm a weird chick.
Attire: My brand new Evil Mermaid skirt. My favourite black jumper that I leant to Calico once. My Big Black boots. They're called Loki and Bartleby.
Dreading: Um, nothing actually. I'm surprisingly dread-free at the moment. Don't worry, it'll pass. (Although trying to make Dreamweaver do what I want has got to be up there...)
Anticipating: Writing my portion of something called the Chinese Remix. Possibly best not to ask. And getting a mobile phone. Now that I've reconciled myself to my impending yuppie-dom, I'm looking forward to the idea of being able to send facetious messages to people mid-class. Hee!
Enjoying: Life. This city. Being young and silly, which is something I plan to continue enjoying until I'm at least 65, when I shall become the Mad Cat Lady, and enjoy terrorising all the young, silly people.

Personality:

Perks: Sleeping. Reading good fantasy fiction. Writing. Movies. Coffee with friends. Gothing. Role-playing. Metal/industrial/goth/angry/loud music. Fanfic. Lacy, velvet, sheer, torn, interesting clothing. Carmageddon, or strategy/war computer games. Willy Wonka's Wicked Chocolate Mudsludge. Email.
Quirks: Hotpants. Air guitar. Stuffed tigers. Dancing. Books. Flirtation. The 'Dee Special' Coffee experience. Moshing. Devil's Advocate. Breakfast routines. Post-modern, neo-Keynesian anti-feminist. Randomness.
Irks: Poor use of the English language. Mundanity. Persistant and pointless rudeness, including malicious facetiousness and petty childishness. Boring music, whether polished to clinical or rough to incoherence. The teenage internet scene. Unkind people. Movies with tacked-on endings (happy or sad). Predictability. Awful fantasy novels that have (somehow) been published.

Culture:

Last CDs: My birthday special "WENCH mix", Rasputina's "Thanks for the Ether", Bjork's... something.
I want: Kidneythieves' "Zerospace", Marilyn Manson's "Golden Age of Grotesque", Metallica's newest.
Last books: "The Lion of Senet" by Jennifer Fallon (current and for the second time - still brilliant), "Innocents" by Cathy Coote (Lolita's POV, interesting but simplistic), "Borderland" edited by Terri Windling (urban fantasy stories from the best - very good).
Last movies: "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" (Oldman! Roth! Clever dialogue! Whee!), "Matrix: Reloaded" (Leather! Ass-kicking! Coolth! Twisty story! Not too bad), "X2" (Oh my dear sweet God in a cream-cheese sauce. The sheer, unmitigated coolth! The storyline! The development. Was there anything at all wrong with this?)

Top Five:

Fun things to say: Dude, "can't be arsed", "it (verb)eth not", upgefucked, "I (don't) make this shit up, yo."
Worst movies: (at this moment in time and mood) Wing Commander, Showgirls, Battlefield Earth, anything including 'of the Nerds', anything involving Chevy Chase, just barely excluding Three Amigos due to Steve Martin's brilliance.
RP systems: Free-form (real free-form, not 'rules' free-form, what is with that?), Amber Diceless, Werewolf, Vampire, AD&D but only with a DM who really knows her stuff. (Yes, I am a nerd, I know what THAC0 stands for.)
Cool words: fey, disembark, sibillant, nihilistic, demiurge
Bits on Dee's desk: Fountain pen, cast-iron gremlins, Amber Diceless attribute calculations, coffee rings, Heroes 4 strategy guide. (Spot the geek!)
