What I Like
| Favorite Books | The History of Love by Nicole Kraus & a few dozen others. |
| Favorite Queer Books | The Realm Of Possibility, Stone Butch Blues & Orlando. But I can analyze any book into queerdom. |
| Favorite Movies | Amelie & Frida. |
| Favorite Documentaries | I once saw one on PBS years ago about two boys who lived in Appalachia and one was in a death metal christian band. For some reason, that documentary stuck with me more than any I’ve ever seen. |
| Favorite TV Shows | Coupling! The first half of the L Word. Glee, sometimes. |
| Favorite Music | Lotsa gay stuff — tegan & sara, melissa ferrick, chris pureka, girlyman, ani, sick of sarah. I loved the Indigo Girls when I was 13 and straight. But I do branch out — Metric, Fischerspooner, K’naan, Carbon Leaf. Counting Crows has a special place in my heart. Gaga, of course. |
| Favorite Sandwich | People sandwich! Like spooning though, not cannibalism. |
| Favorite Thing to Autostraddle | Bikes. They're more eco-friendly than auto(mobiles). |
| Favorite Quotes | “If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy; if the world were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I wake up each morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world. This makes it very hard to plan the day.” — E. B. White |
| Favorite Thing on Autostraddle.com | The Lesbian Purity Test. I’ve always wondered what that would look like. Thanks, Autostraddle! |
| Favorite Writers | Virginia Woolf, David Levithan, Billy Shakespeare, Nicole Kraus (hey, a straight author! weird), Rumi, a variety of poets & queer theorists & political theorists |
