The Basics

Name and Meaning: Heather - 'flowering heather'
Nickname and Meaning: Anki - 'grace, favor'
Gender: Female
Age and Birthday: 22 - 02.08.1982
Zodiac: Aquarius/Dog
Element: Air/Wind

Personality: Random, bizzare, and quirky. The only real constant is that I'm almost always tense and stressed. I'm an extroverted introvert. I have a distinct tendency to revel in angst; a habit which can't really help with my stress levels. Except somehow it seems to, which is wacky.

Hobbies: reading, writing, web design, roleplaying games, creating worlds, watching anime, lurking at message boards, video games, drawing, needlework, cooking

Short History: My life has been one with very few upsets in it, so there isn't much to tell. I'm just finishing my fourth year of college, majoring in English. I'm planning to minor in Editing. As far as writing goes, I've been writing fantasy fiction since I was in third or fourth grade. I'd like to think that I've improved over the past thirteen years, however small that improvement might have been.
