about me
I live in Northern New England, am a transplanted 14th generation Virginian (and yes, I like New England, too).
I write novels, collect rejection slips, dance whenever I can, design sweaters and knit them, and do a lot of alternative lifestyle writing -- specifically about polyamory. (www.polyamorousmisanthrope.com is my column).

When I want a story, I want interesting characters, a good guy, a bad guy, a concrete problem fo... read more
If you dislike an individual, especially a public figure who desires power, I'm not sure boosting the signal is the best way to keep said individual out of public consciousness and thus out of power.

Just a little thought. 
People sometimes talk about not being good at math as if it's cute. I boggle. I'm a writer and a lot of what I do every day involves math, abstracting concepts and the like. If I couldn't do math, I couldn't:

A friend of mine on LJ [1] turned me on to a Firefox plugin of epic usefulness - Leechblock (addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fi...on/44760. It prevents you from accessing sites that, in your judgement, are timewasters during specified periods of time. It’s not like a nanny software that blocks sites forever, but gives you the option of limiting time on a specific site or banning those sites from being accessed during certain hours. If you’re really worried about self control, you ca...

Are you kidding? I can whittle Polyamory Commandments down to one.
