Initialise

I guess first thing is an introduction...it feels a little awkward starting these things...you're really writing to no-one (at least at first), and saying "hi" to yourself is often a sign of straitjackets to come...

What this space will become is a little undefined. It may also be sporadic; I won't know until I start. I'm a knitter - hopefully you picked up on that already - and a queer woman, sometime wishful scientist and philosopher, with a propensity to rant and to want to throw things at the TV. I get irritated by stupidity. Ignorance is not a good enough excuse.

I read: magazines, web sites, blogs, books - these things, and associated thoughts will probably crop up here.

I do: volunteering, sexual health & HIV prevention evangelism, LGBT awareness. I'm a PA at a sexual health clinic, and I'm hoping to do a Masters in health promotion some year.

I am: atheist, lesbian, left-wing, liberal, rock fan, biker, knitter, reader, questioner, changer. If these things turn you off, you don't belong here.

I'm also rather friendly, approachable, accepting, generous, wine-loving, scrabble-playing and loyal.

Any questions?
