thekiti@yahoo.com BioI am now past (but not TOO much past) 40. Why KitiGIRL, then?
1. Because rules about age are stupid, nyaa nyaa nyaa.
2. Because I've used the handle since I joined AOL in 1996 (I recently quit - why give the Atlanta Braves any help?).
3. I was going to say "because I love cats," but that doesn't quite describe it. Love cats? I want to BE one. (Yes, I too want to pee in a box of sand and eat tuna fish with my face!)
In all seriousness, though, anytime I need proof of the existence of a higher power, all I need to do is rub my face against Pendo's exquisite silk coat or listen to Binkley's helicopter purr.
It should surprise no one that my "personal goddess" is Bast. She also happens to be my sign in Egyptian astrology. How convenient is that?
I am also a Fat Chick. I get to capitalize that because it's a hell of a lot better than the alternative, which is beating yourself up because you wear a size 18 (or whatever).
Part of the reason I started a Live Journal of my own (besides my then-husband Feedle's prodding) is because I want to meet fat-friendly pals of all sizes who share my interests - which amount to pretty much anything EXCEPT dieting. No diet talk, no weight loss advice, puh-LEASE. But discussion about fat activism/size acceptance issues is very welcome. Far as I'm concerned, calling a fat person "obese" is like calling a gay person "deviant." It's patronizing and insulting. And it won't improve anyone's health, physical or mental. If you agree, come on down!
