Hi everyone. I'm glad I found this instance. I look forward to making lots of friends here.
I love to read. My favorite genres are urban fantasy and horror. I'm also interested in anime, fandom, and listening to music. I'll listen to pretty much anything, but I mainly prefer rock and industrial.
I am also totally blind, so from time to time you might see posts about accessibility. if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Also, I don't normally post anything of an adult nature, but I'd still prefer followers be eighteen or older.

I lost my purse a while ago, and I didn't have anything terribly important in it so it's not a -massive- loss, but the one thing that I -do- feel the need to replace in there was my lockpicking set.

Thinking about this post today
