On Wikipedia:

I joined Wikipedia on November 6th 2005 as Lady Earth,after hovering for some time. I tried to fill in all the missing Mayors of Ottawa and made some minor contributions to dance-related subjects. After losing the password to my Lady Earth account, I joined as Editor at Large; a name which reflects both my profession and my initial mission here on Wikipedia.

A punctuation and spelling stickler, I only intended to make minor changes to spelling and punctuation on articles; the reason I had joined was so I could make these changes without being an anonymous and annoying IP address. I soon ended up filling in missing articles and re-wording or re-writing others.

On August 13th I had the good fortune to finally notice the new tools in my toolbox after installing Lupin's Popups tool. I have since started a war against vandalism, hampered only by my horrible
habit/inclination to keep track of everything. After one day of vandalism reverts, I sometimes spend three getting my log updated! Luckily I've learned to relax a little...


In Real Life:

I am currently a student in Ottawa, Ontario. I am an amateur webmaster (not a very good one), own a small (very small) publishing company, and am a member of a pre-professional Ballet company (but don't get paid for it).

I am studying Creative Writing and Advanced English in the hopes of becoming a professional editor, Ancient Egypt in the hopes of becoming an Egyptologist, and Criminology and Law in the hopes of becoming a Criminal Lawyer, Detective, or Criminal Psychologist.

I aspire to study Nanotechnology in the hopes of becoming a nanotechnologist (but I hate math and am awful at Science), and Languages in the hopes of becoming a Professional Translator (but am awful at grammar).
