Hi there. I'm Daistallia. Some of you may know me from other places, especially the Zompist boards, but I expect most don't.

I'm USAmerican, originally fromTexas, just south of Houston. Now in Iowa, with 19 years in Japan (Nagasaki, Niigata, and Osaka) in between. I speak American English, some Spanish (mostly Mexican and Tex-Mex Spanglish, very rustily), and a moderate level of Japanese. Currently I'm employed as a line cook at a small liberal arts college.

The name comes from an old concountry/conworld that I've moved on from.
