| Bio: | Honestly not that interesting ... Was born ... Muddled around a little bit for a while there as I recall ... Was particularly fond of a little sheepskin rug if I remember correctly, still got it too! (you gotta prob?) ... Really liked dinosaurs for some reason ... Got blown half way across a room by an electrical socket (kinda explains a bit) ... Not really that social (boy, hasn't that changed!) ... I had books, lego, and I could take apart any appliance in the house, I was set ... Boys just weirded me out ... Kinda realised that I liked girls ... Parents moved from this really big city to this hole that masqueraded as a hick town ... Came out to parents ... Got shipped off to the nearest city for rest of schooling (coincidence? I wasn't complaining) ... Went overseas to live in europe for a bit ... Came back (kind had to) ... Came out again as a dyke and femme ... Got disowned (I "self brainwashed" myself ... like huh? ... go figure) ... Went to university ... Got a degree in astrophysics ... Got into grad school in physics ... Dropped out of grad school in physics ... Got degree in sociology ... Got into grad school in sociology ... Still there ... Fell in love ... Fell outta love ... Fell in love ... Got my heart broken ... Told you I was boring ... Now? Well, living in the states, in the middle of bloody nowhere the yanks around here seem to call the midwest, all I know is that there is no ocean, no mountains and a distinct lack of the colour green ... ummm ... oh yeah, finishing off my doctorate in sociology and hoping to get into federal law enforcement here, Canada, or Europe ... Update: I'm primarily looking at law enforcement in Canada, though I haven't completely disregarded the EU. I have completely dismissed the US as a possibility. The abortion ban in South Dakota and the resulting domino effect that is arising therefrom was the last straw. There are many wonderful things aboutt his country, but they are being destroyed. I cannot live in a country that flagrantly disregards so many basics of good government AND then declares me as a woman and a lesbian as a second-class citizen. I'm going somewhere I am wanted, like Canada, and have rights, also like Canada. | |||||
