fighting_in_sf@livejournal.com BioI love to play Boggle and can probably beat you at it.
I've lived in Canada, the USA and England.
I am learning to appreciate tomatoes.
I love politics and mine lean left. I am a passionate fan of democracy though frequently find myself reminding people that the USA is a republic. I'm certainly not a communist and will be the first to discuss its theoretical shortcomings. I vote and take my duties very seriously. I hope you do, too. We aren't asked to do much as Americans, other than pay taxes - so shunning our voting duties is... lame! I believe in equal rights for all Americans and am confident that that day will come.
I like nouns that start with the letter "P." These include punk, pubs, porn, people, places, peaches, pastrami, pens and pigtails. And ponies. I am a big fan of small ponies.
I love books, travel, learning, theatre, intelligent conversation, silly conversation and music. Wit, humor and sarcasm (though not cruelty) are welcome here.
I'm not sure I could happily exist sans books, travel and music. Countries I've visited include: Canada, USA, Mexico, Bahamas, England, Scotland, Ireland, Israel, France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Sicily, Italy, Austria, Belgium, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Egypt, Tunisia, Iceland and that's all I can think of right now.
I spend many of my waking hours in jail. By choice. Because I work there. My Masters is in Social Work and I work as a forensic therapist. I love what I do - it challenges me on a daily basis and I am never, ever bored. Forensic treatment is fascinating, but my advice remains: don't get arrested.
I am lucky to have an amazing group of close friends. And most of my family rocks. My cats are spiffy and I love them immensely.
My LiveJournal is Friends Only simply because I don't want it happened upon by my clients. I enjoy meeting new people, so feel free to add me.
And for the record: the SF in my lj name stands for San Francisco, NOT science fiction.
