I'm 26. I constantly feel either younger or older, but being 'in my 20s' is still kindof strange for me. As interests go, I'm an all around litgeek - BA in English Literature, certificate in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. I read incessantly, fangirl in various low-key ways. I also knit crazylots, drink a lot of coffee and tea, and enjoy dabbling in the kitchen. I adore science fiction, mostly for its strangeness, though lately I've gotten more interested in mythoepic .
Occupationally, I'm a 'librarian' on hiatus - I worked for 6 years in libraries, and have had a handful of jobs ranging from construction to call center work, but I'm currentlyworking for the Borg at UPMC, plotting and planning to go to grad school one of these days. I live with three cats, and two beautiful smart geeky women in the Home for Wayward Fangirls. I recently married the wonderful and awesome 
caveman_joe, who hails from the land of Tea and that place with lots of English folks.
I've been told that I'm too quiet, though I love outrageous old clothing, particularly a good hat. I've an uneasy relationship with online journaling - though I've had some sort of a web presence since I was 15, I'm far more careful to overthink things before I write them. Except when I don't. What this means is that the most up-to-date thing you're likely to see is my librarything account these days. If you have a ravelry account, you can find my knitting under the same username, ginskye
