About Me

I'm a medical school dropout. I guess in one sense I didn't drop out, simply took my year in medschool and used it for a different purpose. Nah, I dropped out. Sometimes I regret it, but mostly not. I teach anatomy and physiology at a massage therapy school. It's a fabulous job. Except making tests, which is what I should be doing now, but no, I'm burning time on MySpace. I have three cats which have me completely whipped.

My Interests

Geek/fangrrrl-dom, music (especially local), gaming, LGBT activism, Indian food, Thai food, Japanese food, occasionally cooking food, poetry (see serpentseye.deviantart.com), biology (tetrodotoxin is why you don't eat pufferfish), reading, Wartenberg wheels, martial arts (aikido mainly), good conversation, Russian Imperial Stouts, dancing, teaching, massage

Lesbian melodrama.  "The Dykes of Our Lives"?  "The Butch and the Beautiful"? First off, the music is abysmal.  I tried to introduce the bar to riotgrrrl punk.  Not terribly dancea...

New poem, as yet unnamed

I'll get this posted on serpentseye.deviantart.com when I get slightly more motivated.  I shy away from writing love poetry, so I didn't... quite.   "I'm afraid of words, Roxanne," he calls ...
