Name: Becky

Fandoms: A little bit of everything? Mushishi, Natsume Yuujinchou, Monster, Princess Tutu, Criminal Minds, Tanya Huff's Smoke books, every DWJ book ever, every other YA book ever, White Collar, Tangled, How to Train Your Dragon, Psych... I could go on.

Yuletide years: This was my fourth!

My fic: The Lonely Traveler in Mushishi fandom.

DW or LJ: Both! My LJ is

ruffwriter and it's a bit more... organized, shall we say. I'm also on Twitter as "cafecliche."

Journaling habits: Like I said, my f-locked LJ is a bit more organized! I'm sort of in the middle of transitioning my DW into a mostly-public mirror. I'm happy to be added either place, though! As for content, it's about 50% writing (mostly original), 35% fandom, and 15% real-life rambling.

Other interests: WRITING. Lots and lots of writing. I have a handful of different multi-chapter projects, and like everyone on the internet ever, I'm trying to get published. I also work at the Japanese embassy, so I occasionally ramble about it under f-lock.

Anything else?: Looking forward to meeting some new people! ♥

You work at an embassy? Can I ask what kind of work? I'm trying to get into diplomacy as a career, so this topic is of great interest.

I'm a diplomatic assistant! I handle five diplomats, occasionally more if someone's on vacation, and I pretty much do whatever they need me to do. I set up meetings, arrange transportation to said meetings, keep calendars and contact lists up to date, arrange hotels and such for visiting delegations, keep the supplies and such stocked in the office, etc etc. Since I just graduated last May I'm at the bottom of the totem pole, but I know at least one assistant who moved up to a higher position within the embassy. And if you're considering a career in diplomacy, being an assistant is great, because you know better than anyone what's involved in being a diplomat.

Awesome! I'd never considered that avenue before. I applied for the US Foreign Service recently and I'm still in the middle of that loooooong process.

Oooh, good luck! So you've taken the Foreign Service Exam?

Yup, last October! I'm waiting for the results of the Qualifications Evaluation Panel right now.

I really like your profile, and it turns out we have an awesome mutual friend, so I have friended you on LJ. I'm carlyinrome over there.

I've friended you back! Thank you!
