About meI'm a grad student studying speech-language pathology; I am also a total linguistics/cog-neuro nerd. Outside of school, I'm into textile stuff (sewing, weaving, knitting, quilting, etc), swimming and hiking, and lately, forays into vegetarian cooking. I like most things water-related, whether in solid or liquid form-- I've never lived anywhere other than villages/cities on/near Lake Ontario, and it has definitely shaped who I am-- and, of course, am minorly obsessed with my cat. I did my undergraduate degree in Toronto and miss the city desperately now that I've moved elsewhere.

About my libraryCurrently embarking upon the Library of Congress / Dewey challenges! I have a very, very long way to go.

For better or worse, my tagging is pretty idiosyncratic. Non-fiction subjects are pretty straight-forward, but my tagging of fiction leaves something to be desired. Whether or not I remember / am inspired to rate something is kind of wildly inconsistent, and the ratings themselves are fairly arbitrary and sometimes kind of inaccurate, upon reflection... Anyway, I'm working on that, slowly.
