Bio

Studies show:
Intelligent girls are more depressed
Because they know
What the world is really like
Don't think for a beat it makes it better
When you sit her down and tell her
Everything's gonna be all right
She knows in society she either is
A devil or an angel with no in between
She speaks in the third person
So she can forget that she's me

~ "Opheliac," Emilie Autumn

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom.
~ Thomas Paine

Men make angry music and it's called rock-and-roll; women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they're angry and militant. - Ani DiFranco

This journal consists of the occasional well thought out rant, rambles, the day to day events of my life, deconstructions of societal norms (gender, sexuality, femininity, masculinity, etc.), thoughts on politics and my many, many infatuations which range from images that get caught in the filter of my brain, to the latest song I’ve listened to, to the curve of a passing stranger’s cheekbone.

I'm not particularly tactful in my entries, but I mean what I say and I try to always say what I mean (with corrections/additions as needed). I'm always evolving. What I said two years ago may not represent a complete picture of my beliefs now. Many of my core thoughts remain, but the way they're expressed alters based on the additional knowledge and insight I receive.

I moderate/run fundiepharma, a pro-choice community that tries to keep members abreast of the anti-choice/anti-woman goings-on in the U.S. (and other parts of the world...).
