name: anne elizabeth
age: 21
gender identity: woman, girl, grrrl, womyn, etc.
locations: home is technically chicago, il, the neighborhood of hyde park. school is brown univesity, providence, rhode island, starting september 1st, 2004. my mom and stepdad live in floyd, virginia and atlantic beach, north carolina. for a long time, they lived in asheville, nc, a beautiful mountainous artsy town that i consider the home of my heart. they also lived for 3 years in alameda, california, in a sailboat, where i spent time.
interests: people i find interesting, nature (especially mountains), reading, writing, travel, movies, fantasy, sex, poetry, dance (watching, that is. i love it, but i'm awful), photography.
family: i have lived primarily with my dad since i was eight. traditionally, i spent summers and holidays with my mother and stepfather, who left chicago when i was eight. i have two adult step-sisters, molly, who lives in a group home in chapel hill for mentally disabled adults, and angie, who lives with her husband and two kids in raleigh. we're not close. i have various extended family, and several friends who i have unofficially adopted as siblings.
religion: unitarian universalist. see here for explanation.
sexual orientation: i have been hesitant to label myself "queer", even though it is the only thing i actually identify with, for linguistic reasons. the other day someone told me that "queer" implies a political conciousness, which would definitely be me. most people woudl call me "bi", but since my desires don't fall along the fictional gender binary, i'm uncomfortable with that term. suffice it to give an ani difranco quote (my absolute favorite musical artist), "i've got no criteria for sex or race, i just wanna hear your voice,i just wanna see your face".
that's me in a nutshell. in another ani quote, "if there's something you wanna know, just ask!"
