ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 10th January 2001 
This Title Intentionally Left Blank

Me asleep at my computer
Hello, and welcome to my space at the BBC. I knew I'd make it one day... Now I just need some inspiration to work out what to fill this page with. And perhaps some coffee to wake me up... (yes, that picture is a pretty accurate self portrait. Right down to all the origami stuff that's stuck to my monitor. And the red hair of course.)

Inspired

Well, sort of. At least I've found some other interesting things to put here and reference for now.

Most of them thanks to my Very Bestest Friend here, aka Sad Mad or Bad. She's actually none of those things at all, being a very wonderful, caring person, and a great supplier of hug . Be warned, checking out her pages and the various projects she's involved in can lead to large amounts of time waste^H^H^H spent productively at h2g2. She's also going to be an angel soon ... I hope that h2g2heaven knows what it's in for winkeye .

Stuff about me

Let's see. I'm a Lesbian, a Catholic, a redhead, a PhD Student and a huge fan of Xena, Warrior Princess. If you think that you can find a connection between those, please let me know. I'm also dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome, which I have yet to write an article on. And I like origami - folding interesting things out of boring squares of paper..

Thanks to Argon I can now announce that I too, carry the meaning of life. Or at least my user number does. Yep, U32488 works out as: 3! * (2+4+8/8) = 42. The things you learn, eh?

Exciting news! (Honest)

Well, OK, more like shameless plug. My article on Roman Catholicism has made the Edited Guide, and even got to be the Editor's Pick, with a fancy graphic and all. Also now pending are my entries on students and depression and origami, so look out for them soon on a front page somewhere near here.

Stuff Here

Yes, I too am joining in this odd subculture that is H2G2. I now have my very own personal Guardian Angel, angel Jeremy who watches over me as I fumble around here. Plus, (and don't tell anyone), I've got a secret identity, as sidekick to the astounding superhero Poetry Woman ... I am ... Haiku Girl! Thanks the the wonderful Archangel Galaxy Babe I am also now the official Keeper of Silly Role Playing. And if anyone doubts my credentials, I suggest that you read some of the logs on this page. (Particularly any that feature Kiry and Miranda together...) And if you want to become a Keeper yourself, here's the place to apply. And, in addition to all this, I am the official Tender of the Royal Ear in the Kingdom of Balwyniti. A position which so far has involved parties, with lots of cake and coffee - just fine by me.

Miscellaneous Stuff

Serious Stuff

OK, I've done a bit of searching around here, and this is more, um, well, serious stuff, that I also relate to and think are Generally Good Things to Know About.

  • Self Injury Something I used as a way of coping for about a third of my life. And seeing as the previous page seems to have vanished during the down time, here's my own entry.
  • Depression Shameless plug for my own article, which I wrote for our college magazine, hence the student emphasis. It's still got good general stuff though.
That'll do for now. More later.

Wow!
Dec 17, 2002

How cool is this? I'm on the cult BBC buffy page. Woo, and indeed hoo!

Thanks to SMoB for alerting me of this fact.

The PhD is progressing nicely, although write-up has taken a bit longer than the optimistic deadlines I mentioned below.

Chapters 2-8, the references and appendices and abstract are all done; I'm currently writing chapter one, the introduction.

That way when I introduce the questions I want to answer, they'll miraculously be the ones that ARE answered in my conclusion. Good, eh?

Can't wait til season 7 starts on Sky...

Just because...
May 8, 2002

... it's been a while since I last wrote and I wanted to remove the cobwebs a little...

I'm still here, I'm still alive, I'm just working very hard on my PhD (with only occasional breaks to watch Buffy on thursday nights).

I've almost finished gathering data on normally hearing primary school children, and am about to start the final lot of testing on hearing impaired kids. So yay me.

smiley

Hopefully I'll be finished testing by mid-July and then can write up over the summer and submit at the end of August or early September. I'm trying to write some of the thesis as I go along... it's hard work though. Two different brain-modes. And I think my grey cells are dying off rapidly.

Anyone else here done the PhD thing and can cheer me on a bit?

Fame...
Feb 22, 2002

... or something like that.

No, don't break out the legwarmers.. but I am going to be on BBC Radio 1 this Sunday night (the 24th) speaking on self injury again.

They did a show focusing on this back in December, and I went down and took part and talked a bit.. and they're doing a follow up this weekend.

So if anyone wants to listen, you can do so online at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/djs/sunday_surgery.shtml from 9-11pm UK time, or it's 97-99FM on the radio.

I'm actually looking forward to it smiley

Grieving
Feb 20, 2002

I got a phone call at work this morning from my mother. My last remaining grandparent, my paternal grandfather, died in his sleep last night.

It's not entirely unexpected: he was 96, and generally not able to take care of himself, but stubbornly resisting nursing home care. Until just before Christmas, his catheter blocked again, and his home carers refused to take the job back on, so he couldn't be sent home.. so he was shipped off to a 'rehabilitation hospital' and then, finally, to a nursing home just last week.

My real sorrow is that I didn't get to see him since he went into the hospital. Nor did I write to thank him for his christmas gift - it's been on my 'to do' list for ages. And now can never be done.

I'm really going to miss him. He was cantankerous, stubborn, argumentative, but I loved him.

Back...
Feb 4, 2002

.. at least on a minimal basis.

And back on a physical basis from spending Christmas, and then 3 further weeks, in the States with my partner.

Now I just have to work like h*ll on my PhD to catch up with all the writing I was meant to be doing. Ooops. smiley
