Hello, Hello!

[belleweather]

Name(s): Belleweather. Here, there and everywhere. (Um, but not Tumblr because I hate it, or Instagram because I'm a bit of a photo snob.)

Location: Home is where work says that it is. Currently, that's Bucharest, Romania.

Describe yourself in five sentences or less: Professional expat and working mama with a srsbzns job and a stay at home dad spouse because gender roles are for suckers. I like travel, taking way too many photographs, comics books focusing mainly on Marvel and new Independent books and anything Grant Morrison does (no, I do not care that he's problematic), complicated recipes and emo-pop bands where someone in the band is or has made out with Mikey Way or Pete Wentz. (I like guyliner, so sue me.) I also have an addiction to 99 cent e-books and Scribd, and love M/M historical romances (but sadly have read all of them. *pouts*) I knit poorly and crochet a lot and used to be a professional theatrical costumer, but am now trying to learn how to sew normal-person clothes, which right now means fancy PJs. I am not sure that I believe in cultural appropriation, fiction being 'problematic' as a reason not to love it, or the use of the term 'privilege' in ordinary conversation, but I've been a feminist since I was old enough to know what one was and will defend to the death your right to do, say, or believe any of those things.

Top 5 fandoms: Harry Potter, Sherlock, Marvel (currently reading ALL THE MARVEL), Age of Sail, and the life ruining movie Kingsman.

I mostly post about : Life, Travel, Photography, languages, being an expat who really sucks at being an expat and why my life is not sexy or entertaining, food and cooking, television, my kids, and work (which, I promise, is mostly interesting)

I rarely post about : Fandom, or fanfic. (Although if more of my flist was interested, I probably would) Politics, because I'm subject to the Hatch Act.

My last three posts were about :

1. Why I just applied for a job I mostly don't actually want, and a big win in the extended process of moving out of Romania
2. My boyfriend picking a stupid fight and why accusing professional women of taking themselves too seriously is basically bullshit.
3. The LJ Terms of Service Kerfuffle, why the sky is not falling but I'm moving over here anyway.


How often do you post? A couple of times a week.

How about commenting? I try to comment regularly and always respond to comments on my LJ, even if lately it's taking me a while. I find that I comment more on DW than I did on LJ, because inline commenting is the bomb.

I would like to learn more. I am a dual expat.
