out of the cradle, endlessly rocking
Apr. 23rd, 2009 10:19 pmGee whiz, I should really actually write something here while I have a modicum of motivation, something which I've been short on lately. An introduction, perhaps? Not that I don't have anyone subscribed who doesn't know me already...
Rhi, twenty-five, BA from Smith College, Milwaukeean, geek, and queer in several not-necessarily-intersecting ways. Eventually I will be an expatriate, and I am very cool with that. I know a different meaning of 'international relations'. I tend to dwell in liminal spaces even though I prefer definitive answers. Also, I'm a pragmatic liberal feminist who believes that the best way to start taking down the master's house is with his tools, but I recognize that as a white middle-class person, that may come from a place of privilege. I try to unpack mine as often as possible. (I don't think it's impossible to approach privilege from a non-liberal standpoint, either.)
Right now my fandoms, insomuch as I participate, are Doctor Who, House, Star Trek: TNG, and a touch of CSI, but I dabble in lots of things. My latest hooks are Leverage, Gunnerkrigg Court, MI-5/Spooks,mumblepokémonplatinummumble, and the Temeraire books. Also, I'm too lazy to go back and italicize the TV show names above.
This journal may be slightly more politicized than my LJ, but less in the sense of American political schema and more in the sense of being critical of fannish things without actually writing thousand-word essays that have to be coherent. Also, I think things are stupid a lot and sometimes I just want to say I WILL BASH YOU OVER THE HEAD, YOUR SHIT IS FUCKED UP.
Anyway. I read a lot. I RP a lot. I knit regularly and watch too much public television. I listen mostly to music written before I was born. I think about making films. The latter half of the American 20th century as historical and cultural period fascinates me, particularly the 70s. I throw random quotes into things and am disappointed when people don't get them. (there are three in this post alone.)
Generally, I am pretty fucking weird.
Welcome to my little soirée.
