Bio

J'adoube: In chess, a term meaning "I adjust". Spoken when touching a piece to adjust it on its square when the player has no intention of moving it.

[info]j_adoube has a hard time taking care of herself, and she sometimes relies on others too much. She needs to sleep more and smoke less. She finds life fascinating and quite satisfying.

"And power is pwer, and zero is zer, and, worst of all, a hero's her." The old man sighed as he said it.

"Anon is ann, and moan is man." Andrea smiled as she said it.

"And shoe," Andreus said, "Is she."

"Ah, woe," the old man said, "is we."
