I'm Laura, known as Ripley, 29 and living in Cambridge with partner Tom (Inq) of seven+ years and my two cats, Gambit and Glyph. I'm not the most frequent updater but I read my flist often and I think I'm OK about commenting :)
Other stuff about me: my LJ is mainly about stuff that sticks out about my day-to-day life. It isn't always riveting but it's mine. I'm a grad student, introvert and avid reader, into papercrafting, mail art and swapping, crochet, knitting, roleplaying games and LARP, video games, Buddhism, and reading whatever I can find all over the internet. I have slightly off taste in music - favourites include James, Vangelis, Profondo Rosso, Savage, Allister, Idlewild, Green Day, A Fine Frenzy, Roxette, The Beautiful South and The Housemartens, and all sorts of other artists of varying genres - I recently got into Vocaloid music and Florence + the Machine.
I have ME and some mental health/spectrum issues going on, so I'm not always the most shiny happy person out there, but I think and hope that under a slightly crotchety exterior I'm nice enough.
I'm looking for new friends that don't mind getting to know a massive geek who's interested in almost anything people have to say. Interests in common are a bonus but not necessary and I look forward to meeting you :)
