Newcomers

Hi, everyone. I'm new to IJ, having created this account to try my hand at this 'expressing yourself' business. I'm quite unfamiliar with this website, but I'm willing to try my hand at regularly updating, and I'd love to meet some new people to help my familiarisation with this website all the more interesting.

I'm not sure what my purpose in this journal will be. I'm not involved in any fandoms, but I do have relevant interests. I also like music, particularly rock and some of the softer metal, and I recently attended my first concert - Karnivool. I like gaming, too, and I've recently created a Steam account. My first purchase will be Portal 2, which I'm yet to play.

I don't know if I'll journal about any of that, though. My other interests involve Arab culture, biology and medicine, writing, psychology and sociology, Buddhism & Taoism & Shinto, photography, botany & nature walks, exercise & diet & fitness, language and animal classification.

I'm a college student studying nursing and hoping to pursue a bachelor of biomedicine with a pharmacology major. I'm a support worker for physically and intellectually challenged individuals. I have an awesome partner who is even nerdier than I am, and I love it. I have a cat, but I'm planning on moving out of home soon and she'll have to stay where she is due to the extreme environment change (outdoors rural cat ≠ indoors metro cat). :(

I read a lot. I dabble a lot. I sing a lot. I play a lot. Add me if you do, too.
