thenewbuzwuzz...to sound less maudlin, because I *am* way less maudlin than when I originally filled it out, and to clarify a few details. The brief bio now goes thusly:
Hey, buzwuzz here! :) Born in 1990, first language: Latvian, pronouns: she/her is fine, they/them is oddly thrilling.
My favorite pastime in theory, and the one I studied for fun, is thinking about books. My favorite pastime in practice seems to be compiling lists of links... honorary mention to obsessing about Spike. My day job is translating technical and software-related texts. Day Job gives me some predictable income and then leaves me alone, which is ideal.
I'm having the time of my life in the Buffy fandom! I've somehow slipped into co-modding seasonal-spuffy, so Ask Me about that event anytime. *g* I contribute to the Sunnydale Herald Newsletter (su-herald), which I believe is a useful resource for Buffy people. Every now and then, I write; I take the process, though not the results, way seriously. Occasionally, I make other things -- the formats tend to change, because I love trying new stuff for new stuff's sake. It's all linked from the pinned post at the top of my journal. I have a blanket policy of Yes Please Give Me Concrit, but you don't need to keep it in mind, because I do try to say it whenever I post a thing.
I am totally down with people subscribing and unsubscribing whenever they want, for whatever reason. In fact, I count on it.
My username is the same as here on a bunch of sites, including Elysian Fields, AO3, and Pillowfort, and it's also a gmail email address.
If you know me, you know these things already, I think. If you subscribed to me in the past couple of months and had to make do with the bio I had then... well, here's what I would have *liked* my profile info to say.

Right, I see how that would be awkward. *g* The dialect-inspired option feels weird in Latvian, too -- if I try to imagine losing the pronoun ending and actually saying that in a sentence, then it feels like I should be dropping all the other endings too and making the long vowels short and basically sounding like my countryside grandma's sister -- my brain doesn't get what else I might be asking of it. I'm sure this kind of reaction would fade in time if the new use became popular.
