BioNon-labelled, sometimes impaired, geeky,queer, binary smashing, semi hippie (prefers her spelling, hippy) femme woman. I have a BA in Disability Studies and MA in Critical Disability Studies. I love everything related to qualitative research and dream of becoming a successful sex researcher one day. I’m fascinated and yet saddened by the Showtime hit, "The L Word". Nevertheless, I sometimes find myself pining for the life of Alice and her adorable wardrobe. Lately I find myself more interested in fashion. I have a long love of cardigans; regardless of my gender presentation I have always included them in my wardrobe.
I like to befriend new LJ folks who are into dialogue and communication that is mutually respectful. If you don't agree with me, let's talk about it. Let's have a discussion about different ways of thinking and being in the world. I believe there is enough drama and judgment in this world and I work hard to remove myself from such situations.
The content of my blog celebrates the messy nature of life - blogging about everything from the so-called mundane aspects of life to political rants. I have a keen interest in Melanie C, former Sporty Spice of the Spice Girls, which is a on going theme in my blog. I used to hate writing because it was constructed as something I wasn't 'capable of' but now I aspire to write as much as I can and it's a healing outlet. Since I wasn't taught properly as a child, sometimes I have atrocious grammar and syntax. Older and wiser, now I like to deconstruct and problematize teaching methods that privilege students who appear to be more ‘able' and exclude those who appear to be 'unable.'
