Bio:

"Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that you were or might have been was it not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."

-The Duchess (not the pub, or its namesake)

Guten Tag. Ich heiße Riva. My head is filled with useless german, so please pardon any unexpected usage of Deutsch. I promise never ever to learn Switzerdeutsch, and this should make you happy. Unless you like an overabundance of long vowels. I read webcomics, play badminton, eat chocolate and avoid painkillers. I occasionally spew undigested lumps of thought in the form of poetry. That can be found at my other livejournal,

shadow_scribe. I believe in grammer, punctuation and capitalization, but only in moderation. Blue vintage dressed mysteriously fit me on a semi-annual basis.

Some basic and seemingly useless facts designed to help you get some sense of my personality:

I called myself randomness incarnate until I realised that was self-contradictary.

I believe reality is created by perception, because that's a nice thing to believe.

I spend my spare time inventing contradictory logic and proving it with pseudo-math. For instance, if infinity is a verb, infinity-1=0, and ∞x0=1 because 1/∞=0 and ∞x1/∞=1.

I believe that should say a lot about me. Also, I really want to go back to Prague, even though being there was one of the most depressing experiences I've had while on vacation.

Zlata Ulicka is reasonably sized doorway love

Should you wish to contact me through some other system, if I use it, I will be alarivana. This is not true in two cases: my cell phone and the US postal service.
