About Me

What you really need to know: http://killerfemme.blogspot.com and http://www.flickr.com/photos/killerfemmeI would like to find other idealists and co-conspirators who really think the world can be the place we dream it could be. I am determined to speak French fluently (and Spanish and German eventually) and I like to spend time reading, looking, thinking, writing and discussing. I co-edit a queer, feminist art journal which you can see at www.riffrag.org, so please check it out. I used to play in a band called Perils...myspace.com/perilsmusic.
