"You can always scribble in an encyclopedia, but clicking on one is so much more fun."

Everything I'd say in my userboxes, without the flashing lights

This user is: female, straight but not narrow, single, Indian, agnostic, anti-cigarettes, pro-booze, pro-cannabis, and could be defined politically as a libertarian socialist. Uses Windows XP and doesn't regret it too severely, uses Firefox, plays the piano and sings (not at the same time... lame), hates shopping for trousers and prefers skirts, talks an awful lot of shit that no one really wants to know, and likes... pie. Riana is her name. Disaster is her game. OK, not true *curls up into foetal position*

Current Wikimood: Mildly disturbed by some recent events

Mild editcountitis: 4000 the last time I checked. But I'm going to throw a Wikiparty when I can get that up to at least 500 for WP: edits and 3000 for mainspace :) For the most super duper stats in the world, I present Icey's report (slightly outdated now). If you like them, ask Icey to get you a report – he's an absolute champ, and really nice about giving people more reports when they ask for them! I've asked for 2 already, so I don't think I'll ask for anymore... :)

I've been trying something lately - reading Wikipedia. Not editing, just reading. It completely reaffirms what we're all doing here. It's a brilliant cure for Wikistress, too. So, if you feel like things are crumbling a little, log out and just do some surfing. It's fun.
If I reverted your edits or tagged your article for deletion, please take it up on my talk page, not here. I probably won't notice it if it's here.

Welcome to my userpage! I'm never entirely sure what I need to write here, so keep yourself amused with this stuff while I go think about it.

I am...

18 years old
Female
Indian, but have lived in Australia all my life
Doing a Bachelor of Science, planning on majoring in Chemistry and possibly minoring in Biology, at the Flinders University of Adelaide, South Australia.
I like—Monty Python; South Park; dogs; people who understand that a problem on Wikipedia is not the be-all and end-all of their existences; barnstars; chocolate; most kinds of music (except techno... God help you if you play techno around me. I'm a fun person to go clubbing with).
I Dislike—users who revert vandalism/tag pages for AfD or speedy deletion, and don't leave a message on the vandal/article writer's talk page. It almost makes me mad... almost. see my wikimood if you don't get it

On the wiki...

I tend to limit myself to WP:GNOME-like activities around here–you know, disambiguation link repair, minor cleanups, correcting spelling errors, fixing templates, all that boring jazz. This explains my reasonably high edit count, I'm not really especially prolific. I may be seen on talkpages; I think I combine a reasonable blend of metapedianism and exopedianism. I'll participate in AfDs once in a while, and am slowly developing an addiction to reverting vandalism.

I'm here pretty much every day, so feel free to leave me a message. If you think I've screwed up, if you think I did OK, if you think there are ways I could do more than OK, if you need a hand with something and you think I could handle it, or if you just wanna have a chat – pull up a chair and get into it! Me likey orange boxy.

If you like my userpage, I have to stress that I wrote very little of the script on it. Most of it is shamelessly plagiarised from various users around the place... credits embedded in the script, you'll have to look for it! My HTML skills are limited at best (small, big, red, blue, and crikey, that's all I've got). I'm learning sloooowly.

Also have accounts on Commons, Wikiquote and the CPDL wiki. And possibly more that I can't remember...

If you came here looking for something and didn't find it, sorry :( Tell me what it was and I'll add it. Or add it yourself (but be creative!) Also, it looks a bit better with Firefox. If you know how to decrease the dodginess, let me know.

Lists...

My (mostly useless) subpages: deletion stuff, my welcome message, my welcome message to e-mail addresses, pretty awards and stuff and my terrifyingly messy monobook.js.

Articles started: so far only the rather gruesome Katherine Knight, which is not something I'd see myself writing normally, but I was surprised that there was nothing here on her.

To-do list: chemicals with silly/naughty/unusual names. Ciglitizone, Clitorin, Constipatic acid, Commic acid, Dogcollarone... that'll do for now. We chemists are nothing if not imaginative.

Nice people I've had the pleasure of meeting on WPin no particular order:Daveydw ee b (^chat/_patch), E ditor at Large ^(speak), Merope ^Talk, Daniel .Bryant, Hús ö nd, MoltonStPilgrim, cj | talk, Srose (talk), Icey, Vercalos, Kyok o, Th ε Halo ^Θ, $PЯINGεrαgђ , TBCΦtalk?, Will ^{(Glaciers melting in the dead of night)} ... just a few of the lovely people we have here! If you bribe me with something edible, I will definitely add your name to this list... or, hell, just add yourself :)

Battle scars: My userpage has been vandalised 1, 2 times. My talkpage has been vandalised 7 times, all with extreme unoriginality. Please, please, at least make me laugh.
Please don't let all that discourage you from vandalising this page further. Go ahead... it's a wiki!</sarcasm>
