they're holding my user bio hostage until i write a post, so i suppose an introduction is in order. i'm arabella (the 'e' is what is meant in place of the 'x'), not my real name but you'll get nothing more and nothing less. variations thereupon are acceptable. my playlist regularly contains arcade fire, arctic monkeys, chet baker and car seat headrest. up-and-coming contenders would be declan mckenna, coin and bastille. anything in-between is a lottery.
it's windy outside as i write this. the wind's quite loud, actually — i can hear it over the sound of car seat headrest's 'high to death', though it's set to a mild volume anyway. i had to google for the em dash used in that sentence because i can't figure out how to efficiently insert one myself. this laptop doesn't have a numpad, you see, and i think the requirement of a numpad for alt codes is ridiculous. do any laptops have numpads? did microsoft not consider the laptop-using plebians such as myself when making their alt codes? any help with this predicament is much appreciated.
now in my series of unfortunate events is the frustration at a lack of a justification button. i like justified text. it makes me feel like a proper author, even though i'll never reach the standard. then again, they let j.k. rowling and anne rice into the cool kids' club. what's one more? i've got a moving backstory to back it up with, too.
when i was a child, i was caught in a freak accident, wherein i swallowed a thesaurus, dictionary and the entire series of derek landy's 'skulduggery pleasant' books simultaneously. i've found myself incapable of writing without sounding like a sarcastic hipster twat since. or perhaps this entire passage of an already too-convoluted introduction is utter horseshite, and i'm just feeding you bravado to make myself look like less of a nervous wreck. that's something relatable, right? i'm sure anxiety is a unique trait on an internet roleplay forum. i might even gather a crowd with this little soapbox display. have you read this far? i hope you have. i'm an interesting person, really.
promise.
