About me

I'm just going to list facts here until I get tired of doing so. 'K?

  • I'm a 26 year old white woman living in Oakland, California.
  • I'm a vegetarian, though not a pushy one.
  • I'm a cat person, but I can't have cats where I'm living now. I had a cat when I lived in Franklin, Indiana named Gryffyn, but he's not a good traveller and so went to live with my mom and her 7 other cats when I moved.
  • I fancy myself a writer, although it's becoming increasingly obvious that I lack the self-discipline to write much at this age.
  • What keeps me going when I'm down is the thought that I'll improve with age. I'm really looking forward to age 40.
  • I read quite a bit. I seem to be reading a lot of speculative fiction/sci-fi/fantasy, but I also like mainstream novels. Recently, I've discovered I love the short story form, and have been reading anthologies.
  • I am currently poly-amorous, though I don't really have a primary relationship. I was dating David, who was also dating Mary Anne, for most of last year (1998). That was, well, a learning experience.
  • I'm what you'd call a girly-girl, although on the Butch-Femme test, I score as a "soft androgyne".
  • I discovered gardening this past summer, and had a glorious vegetable and flower garden that I shared with David (yes, that David; we're still close friends).
  • I wear a lot of skirts and dresses. I prefer comfortable-yet-stylish shoes like Dansko clogs or Birkenstock clogs.
  • I like sex.
  • I write for Clean Sheets, which is an online, erotic magazine. I write the how-to column, mainly because I once wrote this rather fetching article on how to give blowjobs. I don't know that I'm really qualified, at 26, to tell others about sex. But I enjoy it (sex, that is) and I pay attention, and I try to make that come across when writing about it.
  • I took dance classes (tap, jazz, acrobatics and ballet) starting around age 6 or 7. I'm a good dancer, even if I don't look like one.
  • I am tall, with dyed red hair that hangs to my waist right now. I am not slender, but more what you'd call curvy. And I finally am happy with that.
  • I hate intellectual snobs. I don't care what Ivy League school you went to, if you think that makes you a higher class of person, you've just sunk way low in my opinion of you.
