| Introduction | Bored and raised in Southern California, I took the first opportunity to escape, as it turns out to the Pacific Northwest, where I enjoy balmy 85-degree summer days ... four weeks out of the year. I'm trying to learn to like rain. Really I am. I also lived in England when I was a child, which probably warped me forever. I am a student of Library and Information Studies, a Web Systems Analyst, a part-time public library assistant, and have worked as an interpreter for deaf and hard of hearing folks (not ASL but typed interpretation ... a whole different artform). I’m also an avid political/news junkie ... can't stand CNN, FOX, or any of the mainstream networks, but will read almost anything as long as it's written well, even The Economist. I heart Google News for this very reason. I have the great good fortune to live with a very nice man whom I've known for over 20 years and to whom I have been married for most of that time, and a little boy that I had with said husband, who I somehow feel I've known all my life. |
