That is me. Me. Me.

I have NoraBombay as my LJ alias, becuase while I will quickly and personally lay claim to any of the thoughts or opinions expressed there, I do not want future employers to be able to google "ELIZABETH TWITCHELL", and have the first thing they discover be that I have a Justin Timberlake problem. Or a taste for RPS. Or that I'm working on a Buffy/Snoop Dogg crossover. Or that I spent two weeks TrainSharking people on Ticket to Ride online. It's not their time, not their business. My use of the internet as a slightly indulgent self confessional has little to do with the fact that I work for the Mortgage Bankers, or that I make sure people earn professional designations and get continuing education for a living.

In essence: simple and undenied alias, but intended to keep a slight level of separation between the personal and professional lives.

It also happens to be the name of the primary LJ account.  Which I used to set up the Capclave LJ. If you click the link to NoraBombay, a little scrolling, or a look at the icons should easily turn up one with my picture.

Elizabeth, not ashamed of her SF habit, but not sure she wants to admit to the job that she likes bad fanfic.
