Uppity Me

August 12th, 2006

I 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.

Tell me about you.

  1. RIP Baxter old boy. [↩]
