I'm a chameleon in all but colour.

Really, one sometimes despairs of the modern girl.

Bio

THE PERSON I AM



I am a twenty-something Flemish fangirl, whose main obsession at the moment is anything to do with the Age of Sail in general, and with Patrick O'Brian's naval Saga-Without-A-Name in particular. Gilly McGillicuddy is the name. I may digress on occasion, to whatever happens to tickle my fancy at any particular moment, of course, but what else is LJ for if not to promote a certain degree of randomness.

I'm currently living with my ever-wonderful and always-astounding girlfriend in a house full of bookshelves, DVDs and potted plants.

My journal is 'Friends Only' through necessity, but don't be shy about
leaving a comment. I'm always eager to find fellow fans. I should mention I don't friend back unless you either leave me a note there or I know you from a community, though.


'[T]oday he let me into a great secret, known to very few: the whole world has gone mad, it seems, but they are too far gone to know it - a kind of sudden epidemic, caused by drinking tea.' (Patrick O'Brian)


THE THINGS I DO



- make lists. Lists are love!
- draw Age of Sail fanart, though I branch out to other fandoms sometimes. Pen cross-hatchings are my forte. Check out my DeviantArt page for art and doodles.
- make icons, you can find them all at my icon journal.
- read books. You'll never find me without one. If you want a raw list of them, you can find me on Goodreads.
- filk songs and poems. Only occasionally, though I dearly love it. My proudest achievement to date is "Quoth the Captain".
- fangirl people: fictional or real, dead or alive, war heroes or modern day hippies, famous or not so. If the urge strikes, it strikes...
- research obscure stuff and bore my friendslist with them. My apologies in advance for this.
- slash. From Frodo/Sam over Aubrey/Maturin through Darwin/Hooker all the way until Fraser/Vecchio and Merlin/Arthur, with many a side-pairing inbetween.
- talk about myself. This is the boring stuff, generally, and my apologies in advance for this, too.



Affly yrs, the Gilly
