Leo

I'm still a proud Leo, still love socializing, but spring brings out the restlessness and want for change. Though determined to stay in one place for at least three years (thus breaking my recent record), that does not mean routine is the order of the day. My current project: a web-bsed forum for the spewing of new feminist theory out into the world and back into the eyes of any interested party. And queer y.a. books, which is both my professional flavor-of-the-month and some manifestation of a desrie to relive a parallel version of my teenage years in some other reality while I am still living this life. Collecting stories has fallen by the wayside as I try to apply my writing a bit more seriously. There is something about non-fiction, though, that is threatening to some part of my brain that I think I really need to save for when I am really ready to use it. Hmmm. . .

Also been known to have some fun. Like to drink lots of coffee, not quite so much wine, outside and under the sun or moon whenever possible. Have been seriously craving a cigarette ever since the world melted again.

Love my cat dearly and wish I had a picture of him handsomely tuxedoed to put up here. What not having a camera for a few years will do to your personal archives, but then again what it will do for your concept of memory.

Freinds, friends, people who think a lot and talk a lot and have busy lives cuz of their varied interests and like to do some of the same things as me so we can do some fun stuff together but not all the same things so we can both grow from knowing each other.

Professionally, people who like working with young adults, books, finding new ways to communicate our experiences using technology, those who educate for social or personal transformation. For more on this, see my blog at www.lovelibraries.blogspot.com
