| Bio: | Who I Am
I’m 25 years old and live in a dodgy apartment in Tucson, Arizona, along with my husband (Jameson), two cats (Xerxes and Zuul) and a lot of sea monkeys. For the past several years, I’ve been working at my father’s law firm, Fleming & Curti, P.L.C., but I’m currently working on getting a certification that will enable me to teach high school English. My parents, my husband and I all train in a martial arts system called Chayon Ryu together. Currently, I have a second degree black belt and spend a lot of my time in class teaching.
In addition to martial arts, my hobbies include crafting of various sorts (knitting, crochet, one of a kind dolls, etc.), consuming science fiction and fantasy media at an alarming rate and gaming. My interest in gaming – both video and tabletop – gets vigorous exercise through a feminist gaming magazine I co-founded and edit, Cerise, and the associated forums at the Iris gaming network.
I have a degree in English, which means that I’ve read a lot of books, and am fairly competent when it comes to discussing literature. My minor was Classics, and my coursework had a heavy Women’s Studies inflection to it. I wrote an undergraduate thesis entitled “Seduction, Subversion, and the Status Quo: Gender Roles in Judith”, if that tells you anything about the kinds of things I’m interested in as a scholar. Eventually, I hope to be able to do some post-graduate study.
What I Write About
I do all of the usual LJ things – memes, complaining about how bored I am, talking about my cats – and also a fair amount of more structured writing. I hope someday to become a published author, and I like to share bits of what I’m working on with people as I write them. I've got a number of short story and novel projects in the works on my own (mostly fantasy and science fiction), and I share a few novel projects with ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kphoebe (who is also my Bestest Friend Evar, OMG, independent of her skillz as a writer). If you want to know more about anything I'm working on, you might want to check out my webpage, which has samples and links and all sorts of good stuff. And if you're curious about a specific writing project that I mention here, but which isn't up on my site, please ask! I'd be happy to talk about my writing in more detail.
You can get a rough idea of the latest things I've been working on from my profile with the Written Warriors adventuring group at Chore Wars:
Things You Should Know
I’m a feminist, an agnostic, and a liberal, and I talk about my beliefs from time to time. If that’s going to bother you, I’m sorry, and perhaps you shouldn’t be reading here. I love getting comments on my essays, and having discussions in the comment threads, but you should know that if you say something offensive or terribly rude, I’m likely to delete your comment without warning, and possibly without explanation. This journal isn’t a private space, but it is my space, and my own comfort within it is my first priority.
If you don’t know me, and want to friend me, feel free! I’ll more than likely friend you back, if you drop me a line either through comments or email, and introduce yourself. I love meeting new people.
