BASICS Name, Age: Belle, 38 Current Location: Bucharest, Romania Hometown: I grew up in Minneapolis, MN, but at the moment home is wherever the U.S. Government tells me it is. Gender identity & Orientation: Um. I identify as a female bisexual with complicated feelings about gender performance? Religious/Spiritual Identity: Jewish (it's complicated) Political Identity: The sort of liberal that is frighteningly left-wing in the U.S. and circumspectly center-left in most of the rest of the world. Significant other, kids?: Married, functioning open relationship, three little boys. Job: I'm from the Government, the part that is (mostly) here to help. Major in college, if applicable: Philosophy. I studied public international law in Law School.
WHO YOU ARE What are you passionate about?: Rule of Law, Religious Freedom, U.S. Immigration Policy and it's discontents, languages and second (third, fourth, etc.) language acquistion. What are you interested in?: 11th C. Spain and the Convivencia and the possibility that the Ancient Dacians were all werewolves and my deep conviction that there's a novel in that somewhere. What are your hobbies?: Reading, sewing and costuming, crochet, food -- which includes sustainable agriculture and trying to cook things from absolutely absurd places wherever I am, taking lots of pictures, and accidentally looking like an asshole in cultures not my own, which I do basically constantly.
LJ How do you use LJ?: As a journal, a confessional and a date-book, all at the same time. Do you comment?: Yes! I sometimes slack off but I really do make a point to comment regularly on other people's stuff, and reply to their comments to mine. What kind of LJ friends are you looking for?: The kind that write things. (Also, probably not the kind that spend a lot of time exhorting others to examine their privilege and behave in ways that are Tumblr social justice approved, because we will likely not get on. I am highly pro social justice. I am highly anti being an asshole.) Returnees -- How long have you been away?: Never left, been here for 15 years in October. Returnees -- What have you missed about LJ?: Active community.
The ancient Dacians were the people living in Romania when the Romans got here, and they had (have?) all these myths about werewolves and none at all about Vampires. I find this completely fascinating.
I have recently spent a fair bit of time swotting up on 11th & 12th century Iberian history - it's a cool time and I'd love to meet others who like the period. We have a fair bit of other interests in common so adding you and hopes that you'll add back!
