I am here for Friends

About Me

Anarcho-lefty bluestocking but, you know, fun-loving. I hate shit-stirring, so if you're hooked on it, please give me a pass.

Without affectation. If I could choose one person from all of literature and film to be, it would be Freddy from A Room with a View: "How d'you do? Come have a bathe."
Addicted to solitude, simplicity, introspection, learning, books, films. Devotee of the ocean goddess.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

fun, smart, and interesting people who do not have a great investment in being difficult

I know, I know. And monkeys might fly out of my butt.

My Blog

the priest made us marry on Karl Marx's birthday

We're fast approaching the 25th anniversary of my first wedding, and I thought I should write about it for several reasons. It seems like a million years ago because I've changed so much in the past q...

So much anarchy, so little time

Last weekend I had a great trip.  Thursday night I flew into Philadelphia to see a guy I've "known" for several years.  He was going to write a DLB entry for me, recommended by Julie Herrada at the La...

3 Tracks

I'm a multi-tasker by nature.  I'm always reading 5-7 books at a time, because that's just how I think.  This morning I've got 3 tracks running in my mind.  First, it's the birthday of someone who has...

recent activities and local doings

My regular readers may have noticed that I haven't been posting as many myspace blogs lately.  I'm still working on feeling better, getting back into a fitness routine, and generally re-engaging with ...

Work in Progress

Why is it that people use the phrase "a work in progress" to describe themselves when they are being absolutely inflexible and resistant to change?  Can someone explain this to me?  I'm sorry, but if ...

the business of living

I haven't written anything except journal entries and lesson plans for weeks, maybe more than a month now.  I've lost some time.  Literally, the week of Jan. 31 I lost some days, and I've lost more si...
