Five things minum_calibre associates with me
Okay! I am going to do this with short, immediate-thought kinds of answers.
genderswap: I met Min because she recced my first Winsisters fic! Happy day. :) Of course, as we all keep cyclically discussing, the always-already-a-girl/boy AUs aren't really "genderswap" as we know it. And then there's the fact that genderswap as we know it is really more like "sex swap" if you go by the sex = biology/ gender = cultural assumption.
What can I say? I like turning the fictional boys that I crush on into pretty, butch dykes.
Tori Amos: My most consistent long-term fannish object. Since I was thirteen. Last week I was making my sweetie watch Tori videos on you tube and came to the realization that though she's a total loon! I always had a weird identification with her. Like when I see her, I kind of feel like I'm looking at a wackier, musical genius version of me with big ears.
Rupert Grint: I identify with him too! Haha, just kidding. Someone once said he looked like my kid and I felt like a perv. He's so stony! I feel protective of him when he's interviewed because he's so inarticulate at times, yet I really believe he's the mostly naturally gifted actor of the Trio. Go back and watch the first movies: Dan and Emma are caricatures and his Ron seems like a real kid.
New England: I haven't lived there for ten years [!] but I still have my Vermont plates up on my wall. I have friends who live on farms and in yurts. I didn't own a bathing suit for large parts of my life, 'cause you just go skinny-dipping in the brook.
grad school: Is a crazy thing to do to yourself. I'm still not sorry that I'm doing it, even though right now in particular, it's an emotional-intellectual roller-coaster that's pushing me to my limits. The hazards include the negative narcissism that can come with persistent feelings of inadequacy paired with a lifestyle in large part comprised of long periods time alone with books and your own obsessions.
But, I have/have had professors who make me want to push past my demons so I too can help people look wide-eyed and think critically about how we image the world around us.
