It Seems Really Dumb to Post This, But...
There have been too many people who are shocked/surprised when they actually meet me or talk to me on the phone, and find out I am not a 28-year-old man with olive skin.
The 28-year-old man with olive skin (my avatar) is Mr. Universe from the movie Serenity, just as my handle is a famous (and beloved) quote from that character:
"Can't stop the signal, Mal."
[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1tXlpRq-jY]
So that's not who I am. I don't have half the mad digital chops he does, nor am I as good-looking.
And by the way, if you haven't seen that movie yet, OMFG find it on Netflix or Amazon streaming or put it on your Netflix DVD cue or if you still have video stores wherever you are, go out and get it right now, because it's some great science fiction. And while you're at it, rent Firefly and watch it too.
EDIT: No, start off by watching Firefly...and then, AFTERWARDS, watch Serenity. It'll go much better that way.
So who am I?
I am a white woman, 48 years old, Florida native. I'm a (mostly) out-of-work English PhD who occasionally teaches Business Writing at the local community college and is wondering about other kinds of teaching (Montessori teaching, prison education.)
I gave up the possibility of a tenured academic career by running off after Howard Dean and John Kerry to save the country. Dumbest decision of my life. Interests in sustainability, independent media, gaming, fantasy, science fiction, musical theater. Jeez, this is starting to feel like a bio on a dating site!
That's probably enough to be going on with, yeah?
Oh, I was SouthernLiberalinMD on Daily Kos, and a long long time ago, I was Nobby (doubt anybody remembers that).
I am still LiberalinMD on Twitter.
I have decided to trash my avatar, as some have told me it's misleading to have a male avatar when you're female, and as soon as I figure out how to change my account settings, a less misleading image will accompany my, er, dulcet tones.

So there you have it.
someone, I think m overdrive over on DKos once said she imagined me as a sweaty, red-faced white man in his 50s.
It's just my natural charm.

The funny thing is at one point that would've been accurate
Well... accurate if you dialed down the handsome setting from 11 to 5-ish anyway. I had my life all planned out. I was going to marry a professional woman who looked like this
(well, except for being a brunette because I have this thing for bru.... uh... nevermind)
We were going to live in a nice McMansion somewhere and drive our convertible sports cars to work. It was a great plan until I met my wife... the bohemian art chick. Twenty years of her corrupting influence and now i look like this:
My only consolation in all of this (except, of course, marrying the best thing that's ever happened to me), is that she was very much envisioning a guy with a pony tail and flip flops. She most definitely was not expecting to fall in love with a guy wearing these:
Turnabout is fair play. So now, twenty years on, she looks pretty hot in a pencil skirt and hair bun and I own flip flops (not to mention that fine top hat shown above). I never did get a pony tail though.

I'm a tad older than you and used to be an ophthalmic photographer in my previous life. My greatest accomplishment because I taught myself ophthalmology which was difficult because of the head injury I was still recovering from.
And today's my birthday. The first one since my mom died which did a big number on me last night.

And a big hug for your memories of your lovely mother!
And another one for your memories of your handsome brother!
Thank you so much for including a picture of them in my last diary over there in March. I think you'd just lost your mother, and my heart goes out to you still....
Please help support caucus99percent!
Thanks Dallas Doc for your friendship
I enjoy thinking about the two of them being together again because they were so very close with each other as you can see.
Not only mom and son, but friends too.
I read your diary last night again because I wasn't only missing mom, but Rick too because the loss of one brings up the loss of others and it gave me peace.

A very happy B-Day to you! (A bit belated, though, as it's 2 AM here and probably tomorrow now for you too, likely at a time in which normal people are sleeping or doing Friday night stuff, or whatever.)
But, contrary to a quote I half-remember, even on the internet, everyone can tell you're neither a dawg NOR a jerk!
And I'm impressed! (Trying to live often apparently completely without a brain, myself - possible, but not easy. You must have my share, lol.)
Edit: extra hugs on account of your losses! I was caregiver for my mother - a girl always needs her mother, although sometimes mothers need daughters as well - and can't even imagine losing my brother...

Is a she.
Thanks everyone for the kind wishes.
My aunt, uncle and two cousins who were visiting from California had a great birthday dinner at my aunt's house last night. We talked about all the fun memories we had of my mom who was everyone's favorite cousin and the rest of the relatives who are no longer with us and we had such a fun time.
Then it hit me when I got home that she wouldn't be calling me today to wish me happy birthday.
A wee jolt to the system, but my two doggies bring such joy how could I be sad for long?

Oh sboopydog, I'm so sorry
I'm sorry for your loss, and that I screwed up your name.
I am very glad you got to spend some time sharing and loving on her memory, though. That's a beautiful thing!
I'll leave the typo so it makes sense with your reply.
Deja, thanks
I love the Sboopydog, cracked me up
I did have a great time with my family last night. I haven't seen these two cousins since 1994 when my great aunt flew my brother out from Utah to Santa Rosa and so many of the cousins came to say goodbye to him. He was in the end stage of AIDS and just like last night, we had such a fun time together.
On Tuesday, another cousin was traveling through our city and my aunt and I had breakfast with her.
All 3 of them did a double take when they saw me because they said that I look just like my mom.
Yesterday it had been 8 months since she died, but she had a series of strokes that while they weren't the devastating type, each one took a little more of her personality away.
The week before she died her husband asked if she wanted to go to some place next week and she smiled at him and said that she didn't think that she would be here next week. And she was okay with it.
She had another stroke and when she had a MRI she said she had just watched a great video with pretty music and saw my brother and her parents.
The day she died my aunt called and said that she had gone and since she was going to be cremated, I wanted to say goodbye. Imagine my surprise when I got to the hospital and she was alive.
The staff couldn't find a pulse or heartbeat so they noted time of death.
5 minutes later her husband came out of her room and said she was breathing again.
Then my brother got there and 10 minutes later she left for good.
We believe that she waited for me and him to be able to say goodbye.
That's something my mom would have done

Now you are a woman, and I so liked this guy in the avatar. I always wondered how old that "kid" might be and couldn't believe he wrote so well and knew so much ... Why do so many people pretend to be someone else than they are?
I really don't like the gender mix-ups. And I also wondered where SouthernLiberalinMD was. I thought I had seen you here under that name too. But my memory ...
Now I really want to know where are the men on this blog. I am always wrong in guessing. It would be so nice to know who is what. So, why did you decide to "come out" ?

I wasn't really "in." Not on purpose.
I don't think of avatars as necessarily being reflective of a person's body, but rather of something that matters to them.

might want to check out the poetry of Yeats.
i'm not into mysticism, but Yeats sure was. he was taken in, sort of, by the fairy hoax. he really wanted to believe in fairies.
on a time, rural folks in ireland preferred to believe that a lost child, rather than having likely drowned in the river or fallen into some hidden crack in the rocks somewhere, had been spirited off by the fair folk.
yeats wrote a poem/song about it, over the years the lyrics have been set to music by various musicians.
