I'm not much on handing out the details of my life to complete strangers ("But Julie, you keep three online journals." "Oh, hush."). The most important thing to understand about me is my devotion to the principles of slackage. It explains the often millenial breaks in my posting habits, why it took me eight years to get an MA I have no intention of using, why I decided fan fiction was much more rewarding than writing professionally, and my willingness to put up with ten years and counting of administrative and secretarial drudgery.

I am a slacker, and I'd be proud of that, but really, that takes too much damned effort.

I do, however, have moments of motivation, during which I am a hobbyist genre writer, a full-time fan fiction writer, an ardent feminist, an armchair intellectual, an aspiring genre writer, a bleeding-heart progressive, an enthusiastic media fangirl, an unapologetic nerdy dork, and an devout aficionado of low-brow entertainment.

I also talk a lot about my cats.

I am in my third decade, married, and the parent to two children of the feline persuasion. I reside near, and work on, The University of Michigan campus. I've been in Ann Arbor for over ten years. At this rate, I don't think I'll ever leave. This isn't a bad thing.
