This is my first foray into the other parts of YWS. By "other parts" I mean, things that aren't my profile or "Discover Works".
Okay. I'm going to talk about me now. Let's see... what do I now about myself...?
My name's Christina. You can call me that if you like. A surprisingly small amount of people call me by my name though, opting instead for my doubling-as-a-nickname-intials: CC. Isn't that nifty? That's actually how my username came into existence. Watch closely.
Christina --> CC --> C --> Sea --> Jellyfish --> Jelly
There was an entire process and everything.
I'm a geek, but a really selective one. I'm terrible at math, but actually not bad at Science when I do work. Which unfortunately, isn't all that often. I'm terribly lazy. Anyway, I love learning when it appeals to me, like ancient history, the origin of life, assorted animal facts and all that jazz. Wikipedia is my best friend, although like any responsible internet lurker, I do check out more reliable sites on any given topic.
Art. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, but in the past two years I've been introducing myself to more mediums: oil, acrylic, watercolor, and ink. I'm still sticking firmly within my realm of 2D though. I've also been straying from strictly trying to make drawings as realistic as possible, and exploring what's most fun for me to draw. There's also photography, which is awesome, and digital art, which I'm just getting used to.
Writing. It's grown to be much more important to me in the past year. I used to try to complete long-term fiction projects over and over, but I always lost interest. I'm much happier doing my ambiguous 'Other' pieces. xD Best of all, they're super short. I feel my change in writing reflects the change in art, in that I'm beginning to make my own style.
Reading. When I was younger I used to read all the time, usually fantasy. Then in sixth grade it was like- BAM! INTERNET! I still read all day. I just changed venues. I love Harry Potter, but my quote trivia skills are not quite up to par with some. My favorite non-online writer is Lois Lowry, my favorite work by her is tied between The Giver and Gossamer. My older sister got me really into fanfiction at a young age. To the point where I was writing silly things about Harry not being a piece of meat, at age eight. Right now, I'm still totally fixated on the ST:XI fandom. I exclusively ship Kirk/Spock, which is really lucky for me. When you want to read about the couple that created slash, you're never going to run out of reading material. Also, it's mostly nerds that like Star Trek. Nerds are smart. Smart people write better. It all naturally follows.
Assorted other facts. I'm very messy save for my immaculately organized bookshelf and desktop. I have two sisters and a brother. I hate haircuts. I thrive in cold weather. I listen to piano music on youtube. My favorite flowers are irises and daffodils. Sports are the bane of my existence. I am an INFP personality type. Strangers make me nervous. I'm good at hoola-hooping and Tap Tap Revenge. I like singing, it makes me happy. My friends think I'm an elf.
In conclusion: Hi.
