as i eat the leftover sugar from my already-sweet grapefruit (of course utilizing my handy index finger) i think, hmm, people want to know about me. yes. yes they do. of course. they DO. yes.

so, for your pleasure, the ALL NEW F.A.Q.!

name: sorethroat, because i get sore throats under stress. woo. profound. i'll sometimes say "k", too.

age: at this count, 22. i'm a 1979 model taurus.

appearance: i write often around noon in my pyjamas. if you're lucky, i've gotten a headstart on the day and showered. i have self-cut short auburn hair, gray-blue-green-whatever eyes, a lip piercing, and hate my weight. i'm 5'3.

marital status: i'm a nesting lesbian. in year 2 of my first serious relationship. her name is socks. not really.

family: my father, a diplomat slowly descending further into the bottle, lives in bangkok. my mother, finding herself after the trauma of empty nest syndrome and my father's subsequent affair, lives in our family home in the ottawa valley. i have two brothers, who i have trouble referring to by their initials because they sound like boyband members. often called "j1" and "j2" but i can't remember which one comes first. otherwise referred to as "loserbro" and "notsoloserbro". i lived with "loserbro" or "j1" for four years (after leaving home). my grandfather (father's father) is being taken care of by my mother.

psychiatric history: don't EVEN get me started!...currently seeing fred, food-obsessed jewish shrink who sometimes dons red sally-jesse raphael glasses. very sweet but leaves himself open to mockery far too easily.

academic history: went to international schools all my life. currently attend sprawling university that is being bought, bit by bit, by corporations. started off wanting a degree in psychology, to actually "be a psychologist," but have instead re-ignited the flame of my torturous affair with history.

hobbies: not much time for hobbies. things i do when i'm procrastinating the writing of essays include writing here, attempting to maintain contact with friends and teachers from around the world, interpreting highly sexually-charged dreams, reading cookbooks and dreaming of thinness (not at the same time, but awfully related), listening to different (sometimes shameful) music, making music, wandering, "looking" for work, complaining, worrying about money

likes: long, hot showers with lots of lather, smoking pot with friends, citrus, plant life inside, herbs, delighting and surprising people, sunlight & blue skies, being praised, being gay, money

dislikes: the ignoramus, capitalism, t-shirts depicting a row of cat's asses, corporate retail, dependence on corporate retail for survival, "i'm fine.", grey days, alcoholics, my hangovers, teetering on the precipice of poor and privileged

any last words: al gore and i have so much fucking chemistry. and yes, that is david hasselhoff.
