Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music, love belly dancing, and adore movies! Some of my faves are MSI, Lady Gaga, Three Days Grace, Shakira, Clint Mansell, movie soundtracks, industrial, dance, classical, and rock.

I really enjoy anime like Utena, Attack on Titan, Cromartie, Black Butler, Dance I'm the Vampire Bund, Deadman Wonderland, Descendants of Darkness, and Ajin.

I grew up on horror movies and Star Trek TNG, and enjoy reading Madeline L'Engle, Ayn Rand, Douglas Hofstadter, Jamais Vu, the Honor Harrington series, biographies, other books on cosmology, philosophy, and science, and so on.

Movies I love are Interstellar, Waking Life, Being John Malkovich, and TV shows like Lost Girl, Being Human, Buffy, The Get Down, Bob's Burgers, and Steven Universe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I invented a new genre of fiction.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What Have I Experienced?

My disabilities and health conditions consist of endometriosis, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, cPTSD, dysautonomia, fibromyalgia, eczema, secondary anxiety and depression. I’ve lived in severe poverty for my entire life, including prior, some recent and likely impending homelessness. I’ve had several major surgeries, survived more rapes than I can count, and narrowly escaped stalkers, domestic violence, and murderers. I’ve been writing cuil fiction, my invented intersectional queer and poly genre, for over 16 years. I raise my children non-traditionally with my sister. I’m also a not-quite widow; within months of one another I lost both a former female partner and a current male partner.

What Do I Know?

I attended many schools, majoring in areas as diverse as Drama, Instrumental Music, Choir, Dance, Aviation Maintenance, Teaching and Technology, Brain and Mind Studies (which includes an in-depth integrated approach to the different disciplines dealing with, well, the mind), Women Gender and Sexuality Studies, Objectivism.

Of course, that’s only my education on paper; since the age of 12 or so I’ve also been a voracious self-taught student of history, sexuality, religions, cosmology, philosophy, math, technology; anything that caught my fancy.
