Name:chebe
Location:Ireland

Hello there. I'm chebe*, a complusive maker, a modern crafter, a geeky computer scientist, a lover of music, and absorber of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. This journal is not personal in the tell-you-everything-about-my-life way. It's a log, a record of things I've made, tried, and plan on giving a go.

If I follow you don't feel the need to follow me back. Also, please don't be offended if I don't follow you back; I feel strange reading someone elses deepest darkest thoughts when I'm not offering my own in return. Especially if we haven't even been introduced.

Pseudonymity is promoted. If you don't have a Dreamwidth account learn to love OpenID. Anonymous comments are enabled, but screened, for the purpose of allowing people I know in real-life to comment. But, if you don't identify yourself it is unlikely to be unscreened.

Be that as it is, I am quite friendly, and welcome comments and feedback, don't be scared :)


* Pronounced chi(rhymes with see) bee.
