About Me
First and foremost: Don't be offended if I don't respond to IMs. I'm usually either really busy doing something important, or I'm at work, doing things other people deem important. Don't take it personally. I'm also just not a "chat" person. :)

Now, about me.

I do stuff and am interested in things. I'm a vegetarian, feminist, and a Democrat on paper, but a Democratic Socialist in my heart of hearts. Member of Amnesty, ASPCA, NOW, Atheist Alliance International, and give monthly to save coral reefs and manatees. These things are important.

I live with my boyfriend, cat, and travel Spook in Gettysburg, Pa. I'm currently an undergrad senior--English major (concentration in 18th-19th century Gothic), writing minor, but have recently decided to do creative writing in grad school. I'll make another decision for the Phd when the time comes. At the moment, I'm working for a high-end national literary magazine. OooOOOOoo! In my "spare time" I'm doing research for my near-future honors thesis on Sheridan LeFanu and his Swedenborgianism, and writing a handful of short stories. I've also just started a novel, which I'm very excited about.

Other things I am either slowly learning, am saving to learn, or am planning on taking on in the near future: French, getting my PADI certificate, playing piano.

I'm at the gym everyday, because...I like Indian, Asian, and African foods--the spicier the better. I live for garlic. Cocktail of choice: Sweet and Sour Lemongrass Bloody Mary. Beer of choice: Guinness.

Favorite TV: Brit coms--Young Ones, Mighty Boosh, Red Dwarf, Monty Python, Black Books, Little Britain, and a little Irish Father Ted for the offense to Catholicism. I'll also watch M.A.S.H., Flight of the Conchords, and am currently cycling through every episode of Northern Exposure.

I like art flicks and zombie movies. Really, I like all sorts of genres--I have a very soft spot in my heart for horror of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Some fav dirs: P.T. Anderson, The Coens, Altman, Spielberg, Roger Corman (yeah, I said it), Leone, Raimi, Tati, Scorsese, Von Trier, Ashby, Cronenberg, you get the picture.

Active recently on my ipod: Dead Kennedys, Wilco, Spiderbait, Radiohead, Chopin, Minor Threat, Minutemen, Aimee Mann, Rachmaniov, Elliott Smith, Big Country, Elvis Costello, Bad Religion, Jim O'Rourke, Mission of Burma, Pixies, Talking Heads/David Byrne, Violent Femmes, Boomtown Rats, etc.

I read a lot. Authors: Eggers, Orwell, T.C. Boyle, Egolf, Delillo, Hornby, Homes, Chabon, Kundera, McEwan, Moody, D.F. Wallace, Roth, Russell, etc. Blah, blah, blah.. Obviously, I dig on old school Gothic as well: Lewis's The Monk is likely my fav. Comedy: I dig me some Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor.

Fav blogs: Atheist Revolution, Crooks and Liars, and I used to like Huffington, but they've gone downhill.

I like to travel. Been to Baku, Moscow, Key West, Edinburgh, London, Oxford, Canadian maritimes, and have driven across the US from PA to L. A. a couple of times. I've lived in Pittsburgh (still my favorite US city), Cleveland, and Los Angeles. I also recently got back from three and a half months of study in Bath, England--I am SO missing my local and my drinking buds. Travel Want-to's: Australia, Iceland, South Africa and Alaska.

"Non-Believers"

Posted on January 21, 2009 at 11:03am 1 Comment

Yesterday's inauguration speech was, in many ways, big. Again, Obama spoke to the nation like the adults we are, which is a refreshing change from having to revert one's mind to that of a child, just to be able to figure out what your leader is saying.



The speech was big in another way:



We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers.

Atheists Aren't Real People, We Get It Now

Posted on January 19, 2009 at 10:58am 0 Comments

One of the first blogs I check while I'm having my coffee in the morning is vjack's Atheist Revolution, and many times, his posts are the inspiration for my own. Today, that is the case.



Today, he's got a post up about atheists' exclusion from the inauguration. There was a lot of uproar about Obama's choice of Rick Warren to lead the apparent National Delusional Prayer. The LGBT community was quite up in arms, given Warren's anti-gay bigotry and following on the stinging heels of the… Continue

For Every 'God,' Give to the SCA.

The Friendly Atheist has a brilliant idea for the inauguration.



I suspect we’ll be hearing a lot of God talk over the next week from these four pastors. For every mention of the words “Jesus,” “Lord,” “God,” or “Christ” during the four prayers next week, I am going to make a $5 donation to the Secular Coalition for America — a lobbying group in Washington working to support the rights of non-religious people and educating Congress about the separation of church and… Continue
