Forty-seven.
Poet, writer, editor; a graphomaniac, for sure.
Loves the sound of rain, the smell of homemade ratatouille, the pleasure of company, and the serenity of solitude--not all in that order.
Reads way too much; possibly a bibliomaniac.
Otaku since 1990; fujoshi since 2002. Slash fan and advocate of gender-bending/blending.
Loves Japanese style, gypsy music, manga, anime, Russian poets and poetry over all.
Super keen on movies, crime drama, satire, bad puns, and art.
Fat chick--not into thinspo, fatspo, or any spo.
People watcher, eavesdropper, and fond of hidden places.
Singer in a Sunday choir. No, really.
Speaker of Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
In love with libraries.
Misses the pleasure of sitting on a porch greatly.
Personal assistant to a fighting, biting lightning-fast tuxedo cat.
Working on my first book of poetry--look for Set List in 2012!
Alive and living in the City Beautiful, a/k/a Coral Gables.
This past Saturday night, at Books and Books, I caught the UM Faculty/VONA reading—very good, varied authors and poets. Before and after the main reading, audience members were encouraged to participate in an open mike reading.
Yes, I did read there. No question.
One of the other participants—a student, I think, in UM’s Creative Writing MFA program—read a poem inspired by the instructional poems of Yoko Ono (if you haven’t read her collection, Grapefruit, do scare up a copy and enjoy).
The following night, the title “How to become Matthew Gray Gubler” lodged in my head. So I got out notebook and pen, and started writing.
And now I’m thinking, why not write an instructional for the other cast members of Criminal Minds? Silly, yes, but it seems like good fun.
And while I’m trying to get Crime Drama Cage Match out of the doldrums, it does promise to keep me writing.
My question now—who should be next?
