How long have you had your LJ: 13 years, 3 months.

 

What does your username mean: It's my Craft name, taken from The Silmarillion, being the nickname Beren gave Lúthien when he first beheld her singing and dancing in the forest.  It's Sindarin for "nightingale".  I added the 'h' to the original spelling of the name (Tinúviel) for numerological purposes.  Six years after my initiation, I found my way onto the Internet in 1998.  When prompted to create an account with AOL, Tinhuviel became my online presence as well.  I came to LiveJournal in 2002 and brought my name along with me.

 

What is your favorite thing about LJ: It's writer-friendly, which I deeply appreciate, but my favourite thing about LJ is the people.  I have forged many lifelong friendships through the site, and I'm very grateful for that.

 

What is your least favorite thing about LJ: Semagic was my lifeline to the site for the majority of the time I've been here.  When I switched to Mac, though, I can no longer use Semagic, nor have I found a comparable client.  As a result, I'm not as plugged in to my friends' page as I used to be, and I have lost quite a few posts to Internet interruption while trying to post a new entry on the site itself. 

 

What is your motivation on Live Journal? It was originally a safety valve where I could go rant instead of picking up a gun and crawling into a tower.  I had an incredibly stressful job at the time I joined, so the medium became my primary outlet.  It also serves as a playground for writing ideas as well as socially charged opinion pieces.

Do you/Did you go to school: Yes.  Graduated high school and have had some college and tech school experience, as well.

 

Do you work: Not anymore.

 

Where/What do you do: I write.

 

Do you have more drama at home or at work: The only drama I have is where I live now.
