Adept in the ancient, Well-versed in the arcane

hello!
for all who do not know me, I'm a Christian woman who happens to love metal, hence the name. Black metal of pretty much any kind is by far my favorite, though I also have a huge thing for stoner/sludge, along with a bit of folk and a bit of death when I'm in the mood for it. I am a non-practicing dental hygienist, as I have discovered that I'd rather do something else with my life. I am going back to school to purse a degree in fine arts, as art is one of my passions in life. I also love history, science, and the learning of all things. I love to read, especially classic literature and fantasy (LOTR and WoT, thus far), along with any non-fiction I can get my hands on. Outside of the above, you'll also run into a lot of sci-fi, as I am a huge Star Trek fan (TNG!) and a Star Wars fan too.

Basically anything I like will go on this blog

INFJ Confession 1878) Upon first meeting me, people get the impression that I have lots of friends. When I tell them otherwise, they’re like, “Really?” It catches me by surprise EVERY TIME. (Yep, I’m just that awesome.) I may not be as outgoing as an extrovert, but I guess I know how to put on a pleasant face, smile, joke a little, and make small talk when necessary. A pinch of verbal, dollop of nonverbal, and a gallon of observation is the recipe for the perfect pseudo-socialite.

This sounds so much like me! Just because I know HOW to socialize doesn’t mean I love it, have lots of friends, or wish to socialize with YOU. It has confused my coworkers and people in my life in general. I’m an introvert, and strongly so. Sorry that my ability to socialize (which is a learned behavior by the way, I couldn’t socialize as a kid but I developed the skill) ruins your image of the awkward introvert. I’m an introvert who can navigate a social situation successfully, even if I wish I was home and away from people.
