Find Me On Twitter! (yes I know I’m late to the party)

You may have seen a lot of users on tumblr giving out their alternate social media locations recently because of all the blog-deleting craziness (can’t blame them, honestly).  While I’m fairly sure my blog is safe and I still plan on using tumblr the same way I’ve always been (so mostly lurking, occasionally reblogging), the whole situation has caused me to cave to peer pressure and give Twitter another try!   

You’ll be able to find me @booksong5 on twitter–please be patient with me as I learn my way around using it semi-regularly.  ^^  Expect to (hopefully) see me yelling about books, anime (currently airing and otherwise), ships, favorite creators and online friends, upcoming fandom events in my life (Anime Los Angeles!), complaining talking about my WIPs, and random odds and ends (songs I think would make good AMVs, what kind of daemons fictional characters would have, the titles of anime psychology papers I’d write if I had infinite time…).  If any of that sounds like a good time to you, I’d love to have you join my tiny circle of followers over there, and will probably follow you back!

You’re always facing fowards. Until you turn around, you’ll never see them from where you are.
