About Finch

Finch has attempted multiple aliases, including Cat [a nickname for her birth name], Alouette [which she rejected after her horror at the song], and Fungus [please don't ask]. Currently, she prefers Finch, as a nod to both Scout Finch and her favourite genus of bird, and is called Molly Katherine or some variant thereupon by her friends.

She is a native of the City of Angels by birth, and has no desire whatsoever to leave the concoction of sun, grime, and Spanish-shingled steel and glass that is Los Angeles. She's quite the 21st-century nomad, having resided in six houses over thirteen years. A self-professed bookworm, poet, ferocious romantic, and philosopher, she aspires to do no less than discover the infinite truth and achieve world peace. Until then, she'll blog about books, poetry, music, and whatever whimsy crosses her mind.

She is an avid reader, writer, blogger, Pandora listener, soon-to-be college student, questioner (in any sense of the noun), INTJ personality type, bisexual, Capricorn, and atheist. She loves cathedrals and stuffed animals and tea and people. She is almost fluent in English and Latin, halfway decent in Mandarin, downright terrible at Spanish, and possesses a lexicon compiled of multiple other languages, fictional and not. She shares a birthday with Ellie Goulding, Rudyard Kipling, and Kiss Me, Kate. She's also a legitimately skilled actress, since acting is just like writing: lying to entertain an audience. Her province is all things strange and beautiful, such as the T.S. Eliot poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, moon jellyfish, and the white cliffs of Milos, Greece.

Finch tends to be self-deprecating and cynical, but that's only because daily life is conducive to cynicality. Unfortunately, it also provides opportunities for appropriate GIF utilization at times when GIFs are unavailable. That doesn't stop her from aggressively accumulating them. She frequently disrupts her circadian rhythm by conducting extensive and meticulous discussions with herself upon peculiar topics, such as Brian Cox's reality of time travel, the earthen rights of extraterrestrial visitors, and the impossibility of comprehending life, the universe, and everything.

Fundamentally, if Romana [Doctor Who] was five and collected stuffed animals, and Spock [Star Trek: TOS] was college-aged and owned the One Ring, and they mind-melded, you'd get something recognizably similar to Finch.
