michelel72@livejournal.com Biouserpic policy: See the attributions. If the icon comes from elsewhere, go check the policy there. If it's mine (such as private photos), ask me first. If in doubt, ask me. If I'm misusing your icon, please let me know.
Friending policy: If you want to friend me, I'd prefer to have any idea who you are -- I know you in RL, I've commented on your site, you've commented here, we've crossed somewhere in some fashion -- but I won't go into conniptions if you swoop in from nowhere and friend me. I don't guarantee that I'll friend anyone back (though I do more often than not). I mostly use friending to keep my FL manageable; it's not my statement on anyone's worth or anything like that.
Commenting: Yeah, I keep most of my posts set to allow comments only by registered users and to screen comments from unfriended users. I'm sorry if this is annoying, but it's because of a specific incident.

I'm an English-language lover (not like that, pervs) (and not like that either, English Firsters) with a generic degree from the Literature department of an engineering school. Somehow this landed me a sweet programming job. I have studied at least a year or semester of Latin, French, German, and Spanish; I'm hopeless at all of them.
I'm an elitist New England liberal and proud of it. I value intelligence.
I conceived my Great American Novel -- okay, my Average Romance Novel -- in 1995. Since its content is heavily dependent on social context, I eventually set the action in 1998, because at the time that gave me a year to finish. I'm a little past my deadline; I'm sure you can do the math. I spend my days writing long-winded technical explanations; I spend the occasional night or weekend attempting to write fiction. The results are in fact about as delightful to read as you might anticipate.
As of November 2008, I'm dabbling in SGA fanfic. ... yeah.
