Hi, I'm Reka.

About Me:

As you can see from my ever-increasing list of interests and fandoms, I have a life outside of House, M.D. - which is the reason I signed up for an LJ account originally. I joined LJ for the fandom, but stayed for the friends. Since then, I have picked up some new fandoms and, I'm afraid, ships.

My passion is tea. I try not to talk ad nauseum about the fruity notes or the maltiness or any of that nonsense, but a hot cup of strong Assam with a generous splash of milk does it for me. Or the wonderfully named Precious Eyebrows, a Chinese green tea. I bastardize all my teas by adding milk, which apparently is an affront to tea snobs everywhere. Oh, get over it, tea snobs.

About Friending me:

Please shoot me a message first to introduce yourself if we don't know each other. I like friends who enjoy meaningful and/or passionate discussions on a wide range of topics including life, art, TV, film, fandoms and fanart, philosophy, food, music, writing, photography, books, and so on. If you're just here to read my fanfic, that's cool. My Fan Fiction is open to anyone and everyone. If you want to be friends, you should know my flaws. While I'm loyal, I'm also terribly ADD and distracted. Also, I work f/t and have a rich life. What I'm trying to say is that often my online time is limited, so I don't check my Friends Page often. Please don't take it personally. If you think I'm blowing you off, you are almost certainly wrong, but feel free to give me a nudge.

I love to:

*Read CD liner notes. Johnny Cash wrote his own, and they were some of the best. He was a real writer.
*Travel, especially by myself. I love to be anonymous. It's the best part of going somewhere new.
*Write and rewrite, trying to perfect prose. Of course, getting it right the first time is great, but it rarely happens.
*Edit other people's stuff. I love to shape a piece of writing, even if it's not my own.
*Encourage other writers. I am a great cheerleader for stuff I love.
