Obligatory introduction post

Hi, I'm Irene, or Meova as I still like to be called on the internet. Right now, I study English (focusing on American culture) in the Netherlands and I work in a fast food joint, of which you will undoubtedly hear stories here.
My life is not particularly interesting, but I do have things I want to say. I'm aiming to get a PhD someday so I can study gender roles, adolescent culture and participatory culture. I'm a major fangirl and I love my bands to death (mostly All Time Low, Panic! at the Disco, some Fall Out Boy and lately there's Sleeping With Sirens). One of my goals in life is showing people that even when one does not fit the norm, someone can still be normal/functional - I'm bisexual, submissive, trying to figure out how much the label poly applies to me, 
and I like watching teen shows and reading Young Adult novels. I'd say I'm perfectly normal but that's not really the case :P
Then again, no one who studies the same thing I do at my university is completely sane, so we're all in the same boat.
I'll just see what comes of this. Sometimes I need a space to vent or to speak my mind. I hope this can be that place.
