This is my first time....be gentle

About Me

I am in grad school. Enough said. I read, write, analyze, criticize all the time. And when I'm not doing that, I am either serving some dumb assholes their sushi or sleeping. This is my life. I listen to talk radio, I don't watch TV, I hardly have a social life (although I seem to spend a considerable amount of money on alcohol...strange). I love gender and sexuality studies and am currently wrapping my brain around everything transgender. I have found my calling, so to say, and I am working toward an eventual Ph.D. in either Women's Studies or English.If this picture is quite bleak, well I will brighten it by saying that I am completely happy with my busy, stressful, yet predictable life. I have a beautiful home that is all my own, great friends and a fantastic family. I feel accomplished in my young age, and that brings so much joy to the mundane existence that is graduate school. So for now, life is great.

There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies .. and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

Fake IDs

When I was under the legal drinking age, I had a perfectly valid fake ID that did not jeopardize the job of any server/bouncer/bartender who permitted me to consume alcohol.  Saturday night, at w...
