Female

"Nothing of [her] that doth fade, but doth suffer a sea-change, into something rich and strange."

Having completed two degrees in Theatre with a minor in Women's Studies, I then, naturally, enrolled for a couple more in Marriage and Family Therapy, determined to become the field's foremost queer practitioner. As you do.

I watched every episode of Red Dwarf at one sitting, have bottles of Guenoc Petit Syrah from every year since 1992 (OK, I'm missing 2000 - help?), and if there's a spice I don't have, I want it. I'm kind of a completist when I get on a mini-obsession. I've climbed to the top of one of Colorado's many 14-ers, spent two weeks alone in London, and started my own business in the middle of the worst economy of my adult life. And yet I value stability, believe it or not.

The walls in my condo are cinnamon, orange, saffron, plum, lime, moss, and eggplant. I chose them myself. I may wear black, but I'm a rainbow of fruit flavors. Like the way I identify as a feminist, but wrote my first master's thesis on a famous former porn star.

I've been known to DJ now and then. It bugs me, though, because then I can't dance.

People think I look like Janeane Garofalo, unless they think I look like Bebe Neuwirth, but really, have you seen Janeane lately? She dieted away all her sass and charm. It's possible I may be the cute one now.

I'm a former member of Raks Benazir, who do American Tribal Style and tribal fusion belly dance, and a current member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, who are therapists.

My one-line LJ bio says it well: "Artsy-fartsy queer little gothic DJ therapist tribal belly dancer from hell."

You can call me Doctor, but I wish you wouldn't.
