Blogging goes personal

I started blogging in 2000 with a LiveJournal account. I cancelled my account in 2006 and have not had a personal blog since — I had a current events/social activism blog for a year and a half (currently on long-term hiatus due to burn-out), a half-finished book review blogging project, a very short-lived travel blog, a work-related blog with two co-workers, and most recently a World of Warcraft blog (yes, I am a geek), but despite all of these projects, there are things that I would like to blog about that are not "on topic" for any of them (except the work blog, but I would rather be anonymous to most of the Internet).

Thus, a personal blog.

And now I'm freezing up about what to write about! So I guess I could do a quick intro, but warning — I suck at these.

I'm a hapa chick from California, born in the Bay Area, raised in the Central Valley, lived for a while in Queens, N.Y. I like writing, history, genealogy, archaeology, and general research. I'm a huge SF/F geek, I play video games (well, Tekken, WoW, and an Avatar spin-off), I'm a grammar fanatic due mostly to my job as a copy editor, and I have a fondness for long sentences with lots of parentheticals. Oh, and I also like cooking and food in general, scrapbooking, and languages, particularly Latin.

I guess the rest will come out on its own as I write.
