About me

Gender Female
Occupation Writer, day job retail
Location Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
Introduction I stand at the spot where both contemporary Canadian culture and contemporary Christian culture briefly overlap, before each goes on their own divergent paths. But the paths should be parallel and still distinct but not completely separate from each other. Can we bring the two in closer together? Observations from the crossroads.
Interests Writing, history (in particular Christian medieval history), the environment, social engagement and community, running, politics. I cycle to work every day, have been volunteering in Kitchener for over 20 years. I am also a survivor and a very unconventional Christian.
Favorite Movies Heathers, Jesus of Montreal, Dead Poets Society, The Kings Speech, The Lighthorsemen, Time Team (UK TV show)
Favorite Music My collection ranges from stuff from my friend Marlon Kempmann http://soundcloud.com/doctor-memory, to Kol Nidre, Mozart, 80's pop and punk to Christian metal to the music of Hildegard Von Bingen or any odd stuff I find at local thrift stores. I'm currently listening to The Smiths Best...
Favorite Books Not Wanted On The Voyage; Timothy Findlay, Butlers Lives of the Saints, Vision: The Life and Music of Hildegard Von Bingen, Katherine Mansfield The Collected Short Stories
