Who the hell?

I’m dyslexic but love to read, can’t add but am fascinated by the possibilities of algebra, I like bright colours and also neutral ones, and I hate injustice without any qualifications. I am sometimes wise, but have been known to do very stupid things. Still, in my wisdom I regret nothing. I battle against the evils of everyday boredom and corporate power using every human power I have (which are many), and every super power (which are few)…I enjoy striped socks, eccentrics, and action figures, and try hard not to take myself too seriously. Enough things in life are deadly serious, I’m certainly not one of them…

I have worked as a tenant organizer, a researcher, a popular educator and teacher, an editor, a writer, a jojoba bean picker, a K-Mart night stocker, a pizza creator, an underwear salesgirl, a babysitter, a library bookshelver, a construction survey cataloguer, a mapmaker and colourist, a translator, a simultaneous interpreter, a paralegal, a van driver, a Mexican orphanage’s peon, and I even once got paid for filling Scotland’s smallest whiskey bottles. Not in that order of course, but nor in the order you’d expect.

I have a more official page with a proper bio and publications and blah blah here.
