The internet meme returns. Always an interesting time. To battle!
Initials: L (or T I guess, but the L's the important part of this username). Maybe LC?
Name: thelithiumcat - not getting my actual name out of this =P
Alias/pen-names: thelithiumcat
Birthday: 15th March - day of Caesar's death (and Nicholas II's abdication, depending on how you look at it)
Height: 5’2" or if I'm having a good day 5'3"
Ethnic Makeup: From all parts of the British Isles, but mainly England.
Favorite Food: Something new, with enough spice to be flavoursome, but not so much that I can't eat it. Preferably with some kind of meat in it. Also a big fan of some heavy English dishes.
Favorite Color: may actually be dark purple at this point - a cross between dark purple, dark green, navy... I'm getting into greens, so it might actually be forest green or something at the moment.
Favorite Season: Used to be autumn or winter. Now... well to be honest it's anything apart from the mid-summer heat. But my favourite kind of day is warm, but not hot, with a clear, bright blue sky, a few clouds and a light breeze.
Favorite Gem Stone: Aquamarine. I'm not really a gemstone kind of person, but aquamarine's my birthstone and I like that it's an unusual or less-known choice. It's also a cool word in itself.
Siblings: One younger sister who's 1.5 years younger than me.
Hobbies: gaming, thinking, mime drumming, thinking, actual drumming, thinking, clarinet, walking by rivers, thinking, answering on /r/AskHistorians, thinking, listening to history podcasts, thinking, making my way through tv dramas, thinking...
Describe your Style/Aesthetic: I think the general impression you'd get from much of my clothes (or so I'm told) is either postgrad or lesbian (tartan shirts, leather jackets), depending on the day. More recently it's mostly been postgrad. I.e. knows enough to put some effort in, but is mostly too busy with academia to make a huge effort. In general I try to go for some form of smart-casual. Though sometimes at home I'm just full-on casual and comfy.
I wear jeans every day. I usually wear scarves. I often wear a beanie but not nearly as often as I used to, and more often now it's just when I go outside. I usually wear a fleece or some other kind of jumper. I often wear fingerless gloves to keep my hands warm and still functioning. I usually wear walking boots in this cold weather. More recently I'm wearing stuff that's more fitted, but not tight-fitting. Usually long-sleeved tops - just without the jumper over the top that I used to wear. Usually have headphones in.
Sometimes I like to use band shirts, tartan shirts and leather jackets and have a rock fan kind of look. That's usually when I go to see bands, obviously. I've got to get a patch for my jacket. I really want to make one of those jackets with patches.
Describe yourself in 3 words: thinker, hugger, spaced
Education Goals: More than one PhD. To get high marks that I am happy with (and I have high standards).
Career Goals: Something where I get to use that PhD-level thinking, research skills and knowledge. So... some combination of academic, consultant, non-fiction or maybe autiobiographical author, eventual politician (though when I've had some other profession for fifteen years or so).
Life Goal: To make the best of my life for me.
