Uppity Me
Written byI might repeat to myself slowly and soothingly,
a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound -
if I can remember any of the damn things.
– Dorothy Parker
I’m Uppity Rib, thirty-something smartypants. I currently reside in the suburbs of the Emerald City, somewhere between Winki Country and Munchkinland. As you can tell from my blog, I am a feminist.
As you might NOT be able to tell from my blog, but I’ll tell you anyway:
I haven’t watched television since 2001 and I’ve never seen a reality show or an episode of American Idol. But I do have an enormous (enormous!) Netflix queue.
I own (and frequently watch) all 9 seasons of The X Files on DVD. I share the exact same birthday with Gillian Anderson (August 9, 1968).
I do not have any pets but I am the secondary human of a next door tomcat named Baxter.1
I am not married and don’t think much of the institution in general, but I live with my partner of more than ten years, Kevin, who enjoys it when people accuse him of being commitment-phobic - when they’re not accusing me of being a lesbian.
I do not have any kids and don’t plan to, because I’m already Auntie Mame to two great nephews, and why buy the cow when milk’s so cheap?
I love to read, adore art, cherish music, and can even sing - but writing is my passion.
- RIP Baxter old boy. [↩]

Hello Ms. Rachel,
I stumbled upon the wonderful, cough, abstinence pants over at Princess Sparklepony’s site and immediately thought of you and your need to know ’bout such thangs. If your heart rate goes up/blood pressure spikes while pondering, try some yoga for relief. Couldn’t hurt, might help….
