| Name: | too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty |
|---|---|
Fiendishly clever, she defies linear description. An American ex-pat in the UK, she has a perspective that doesn't quite fit in either place.
A Radio 4 aficionado, she may be the world's youngest curmudgeon. She doesn't own a TV but she loves documentaries (and would rather like to be Carl Sagan when she grows up, if she ever does).
With a Discordian's appreciation for chaos and reveling in unpredictability, she has no problem being too femme for this short hair and too butch for that skirt, a writer who doesn't write much, innocent but not naive, an introverted extrovert, equally fond of science and the humanities, going to lectures though she isn't a student, polyamorous and married, dirty and clean.
All the characters, events, and places herein are real, but this is a work of fiction.
your livejournal reminds me of the "temperance" card in the Rider-Waite tarot deck. i'm thinking the one foot in the water, one out / and the cups (one the Past, one the Future, with a bidirectional stream between...) suggest your ability t'be precisely and entirely in Northern England (with all the fascinating negotiations required of a non.native), yet capable of presenting an uncompromised evocation of a fully realised and engaging Minnesota, by sun or by lamplight. a triumph of MEMORY and ... environmental engagement.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
(Douglas Adams)
Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.
(Bokonon)
Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
(Bob Dylan)
I left Minnesota and since then have known one problem after another but restlessness hasn't been one of them. Ever since I left home and came toNew York [England], I've known exactly who I am. Ich bin ein Minnesotan. In Minnesota, it's never really clear what that means, but living in Manhattan [Manchester], I know exactly what Minnesotaness means — it means moi — and I plan to stay right here and enjoy it.
(Garrison Keillor)
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game—and do it by watching first some high school or small-town teams.
(Jacques Barzun)
In my day, we'd just turn the wireless up and get on with it.
(Alan Moore misquoting Victoria Wood; I like his version better)
They had not brains enough to be introverted and repressed.
(I am one of the people Joseph Heller is talking about here)
