i was terrified to start this, but here goes. it's good for me to do things that frighten me.
i am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, student and friend. i try to do these things well, but some get away from me from time to time...
i am fascinated by the history and politics of food, and would like to stage an intervention in north american food culture. i believe that what and how we eat is vitally important. i hope to start a vegetable garden this spring. my husband is learning to hunt.
i am fiercely feminist. i am a woman. i have two daughters. i really don't see any other options. i am learning to be a better ally to my friends of colour and my lgbtq friends.
my mother is superwoman. it took a long time for me to stop trying to emulate her. i think i am a better mother...
my husband is a tradesman, and one of the smartest people i know. i didn't realise how classist my society is until i fell in love with him. he is so incredible at reading and interacting with people. most of my friends are actually his friends. sometimes that makes me feel lonesome.
my daughters are smart and strong and brave and funny and gorgeous. i want to be them when i grow up.
my dad infuriates me, and he's also my best friend.
i am a really shy person. no one who knows me believes that.

i hate the shift key.
