Hi! I'm Gingey, a 19 year old American college student originally from Texas, but living in North Carolina for college at the moment. I've been into SSSS for a couple of weeks now, after seeing one too many posts about this mysterious Scandinavian webcomic with a heckton of coppertops (MY PEOPLE! GINGERS APLENTY!) and cats (MY FAVES) on Elleth's (vefanyar's) tumblr.
Other nerdy things I'm into: the Silmarillion (and Tolkien in general but it's the Silm that does it for me), Star Wars, a couple of other webcomics like Kill Six Billion Demons and Agents of the Realm, and a smattering of other fandoms. (I'm also into The 100, but what can I say, I've got Bury Your Gays PTSD and I think a little bit of me died with Lexa.)
I'm also deaf, so basically I'd die SO FAST in the Rash apocalypse. "Oh dear, Mr. Troll, I sure didn't hear you coming." *dies* I do hear with bilateral cochlear implants, which basically just means I'm a walking grab bag of cyborg jokes. I am open to any and all questions about my ears!
My hobbies include reading (anything, but apparently these days a Scandinavian postapocalyptic webcomic at the stroke of midnight) writing, and best of all KNITTING. I am the proud owner of a pair of US 50 needles (aka the BIG NEEDLES THAT LOOK A LITTLE LIKE STAKES?? MAYBE I WOULD SURVIVE THE APOCALYPSE AFTER ALL) and if you ever wonder what I'm doing at any given time, chances are I've got a knitting project in my hands.
I also, as a result of the intensive auditory verbal therapy I went through to learn to listen to speak, am a language sponge, so there's a lot of languages that I've learned, half learned, or am still learning (I haven't listed them all), and I am SUPER EXCITED about linguistics so YEAH!!
(....I'm going to stop text-screaming excitedly and let the nice SSSS forum people respond to this monologue...)
