Today however I am more afraid of the power of our own nations than I am of terrorist acts. I'm not a pacifist to an extreme, I recognise that sometimes force is necessary, however I am afraid, afraid that the events of one year ago are being used to justify worse atrocities. |

Over time I found that any time I spoke my mind rather than weaseling around the truth, trying so hard not to offend anyone, I was called a bitch. I learned that being assertive got things done far more quickly than being a doormat, and that I my life moved along much more happily if I forgot most of my “nice southern girl” training. |

I enjoy all sorts of people, but my favorites are honest (a MUST), friendly, intelligent, witty, creative and sensitive. Did I say “witty”… what I meant to say is I love people who make me laugh my ass off… people who make me HURT from laughing. I have a best friend who makes me laugh so hard I've wondered if anyone ever actually DIED laughing!!! |

Anger is the fuel that feeds all of the meaningful work I produce (including these pages), the cost for which is sometimes being tagged with shut-up labels like bitch, ball-breaker and much, much worse. Passionate vehemence about important issues and formidable physical presence must be deceptively intimidating to the weak and fearful among us, so the stone-throwing is easily understood and forgiven. Just be grateful that I don't allow it to shut me up. In all likelyhood, my next public appearance would be the rooftop overlooking your building if I did. |

At this point, I was literally running; I had kicked off my sandals and was running back and forth between my office, Minx's desk, and the copy room in my bare feet. Minx called out orders: “Sign here! Stamp that! You do the postage while I bind this puppy! Now go see if he's done with the other brief! Move!” The other clerks in the copy room stayed out of our way, leaving us the good copier while they all shared the paper-chewing beast in the back of the room. |

Am a proud social drinker (beer - mhhh), smoker and insist in being not-so-politically correct. Adore wit, humour and spice. And womyn. Butch-femme factor? I don't care for labels. But if you'd force me to—ok, let's make it 70/30—just mix it as you like! (grin). State of mind: caring, obsessive, excessive and contradictory. |

Shortly after I began producing Rebecca's Pocket I noticed two side effects I had not expected. First, I discovered my own interests. I thought I knew what I was interested in, but after linking stories for a few months I could see that I was much more interested in science, archaeology, and issues of injustice than I had realized. More importantly, I began to value more highly my own point of view. In composing my link text every day I carefully considered my own opinions and ideas, and I began to feel that my perspective was unique and important. |

i will say that it's not easy for someone into physics to explain their religious stance. i wore a cross around my neck once—and i felt like a complete hypocrite with it on. yes, i was brought up as a Roman Catholic—even attended catholic schools all my life, but i've never felt comfortable with it. At the end of Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time.. he says that when we finally understand the universe—we will then ”know the mind of God.“ Maybe, that's what i'm striving for. |
