I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

24. Black. Female. Christian. Liberal. I adore rock music (punk, classic, metal, goth, hardcore, industrial) and ebm. I'm not a huge fan of rap/hip hop but listen to certain artists. I adore Politics and will argue for hours about it. I also adore anything Speculative (horror, SF, fantasy), particularly fiction. I will read almost anything. So in summary: I'm mostly a book reading, SF watching, political loving geek. I'm also starting to get back into biology which is becoming a secret hobby of mine.My name (sleeperphiles) comes from my first internet SN, which was Sleepwalker01, which I got from my favorite book and the fact that I used to go days without sleeping. It has since morphed several times with Dasleepy1, sleepychile, Sleepwalker and even Sleep being some versions of it. Phile comes from the name X-File die-hards call themselves. Although it's been awhile since I was an X-File die-hard fan, I still have love for the show.Let's see. I'm a writer and as of recent a poet and spoken word artist (though I'm still terrified of speaking in front of people). Most of my writing falls under fantasy, dark fantasy, or horror with some SF mixed in. Most of my spoken word and written poetry is very politically based though.I am a Christian. I am a liberal Christian that thinks that social justice is very important and that helping one's community is something Jesus stressed. Check out Cross Left or Sojourners or Relevant Magazine for more information about left leaning/progressive Christian values.I work for the YWCA. Please support my organization by using Good Search, but please do not abuse it.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus. I realize this is meant as a place to post about people alive or on myspace but whatever.

Meeting Virgin Black, Writing in Amherst, Mass, and Marching with Cindy Sheehan

Well my life has been BUSY. I'm not just saying that, either. It really has been. On June 27, Nicole and I went to see Virgin Black at Jaxx in West Springfield, Va. We couldn't miss it! I wanted to go...

Internship Woes

I'm applying for an internship and I feel frustrated a bit. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. I don't know if it is a positive thing or a negative thing. I'm confused. I just really need dire...

Lucy *A sad life story in 55 words* Sort of.

I was attempting to challenge myself and thought I'd write a story in 55 word increments. 55 words is a type of flashfic in which you write a story, with a character, and a plot and actually have some...

R.I.P. Bebe Moore Campbell

November 27, 2006 marked the last day on earth for Author Bebe Moore Campbell. It's almost ironic that a brain disease is what killed her. She had brain cancer. She wrote about mental illiness, and wh...

Black Goths...Activate?!

I had my first meeting of other black goths in a club, which was actually very fun. And weird. In my city, I know of only one other black goth person in town. I'm not saying there aren't many more, bu...

The Gang's All Here?

The gang's all here? Well kind of. Matt and I had a good time yesterday evening after church and chilling at Adrianne's house and seeing one of the crappiest horror movies ever was a blast. Go rent a ...

Over my head, the end of Nanowrimo for me and Sci-fantasy is back?

I feel overwhelmed right now. Mostly I'm stretching my mental muscles writing my first grant. I really have no clue what I'm doing. Seriously. I hate to say that but I'm sure the look of panic on my f...

Lost is officially off my watch list!

They killed Mr. Eko. I didn't care about Shannon or Boone's deaths. I let them slide over Ana Lucia even though that really, really pissed me off. The only interesting characters left to me are Locke,...

Getting Ready for Nanowrimo

I'm getting ready for this year's Nanowrimo. The title will be "Soul Leaping" and I'll post bits of it here because I suspect somebody will read it. You know it's funny because I suck with speech. Ev...
