Still a little trapped in the Labyrinth |
Hello all! My name is Keri Dawn and I currently reside in the buckle of the bible belt. I'm not religious, but I'm closer to wiccan than anything else, as my first tat hints at. I have a few tattoos, if those offend you I don't think we'll get along. I love to travel and I can't wait to live out of OK again, I'm a poet, a novelist in training, and a sci-fi/fantasy nerd. Oh, and a gamer. Oh! P.S, if you're curious, I'm a Socio-Cultural Anthropology Major with a minor in Journalism :D I love to talk to interesting people, ping me if you desire~ |

Notes"To be accused of a feminine style has haunted the psyches of women who write, for the accusation means critical dismissal, not chivalrous regard. George Eliot, the Bronte Sisters and George Sand did not care to reveal their sex on the title page; a masculine pseudonym gave protective coloration to their words, and that was the only chivalry they required. Earlier in the nineteenth century Jane Austen had coped with the identity problem by publishing her first novel as the work of “A Lady,” alerting the reader, suggests critic Rachel Brownstein, that here is a “distinctly feminine and well-bred voice of a genteel maiden” who desires to please. As recently as a decade ago a university study attempted to gauge reader response when the sex of an author was attached to a piece of writing. When the writing bore a woman’s name, readers felt it was less competent, less significant work."Brownmiller, Susan. Femininity. Linden Press, New York. 1984. (pg. 125)

Notes"I often light a cigarette when I’m working only to discover that there’s one already burning in the ashtray next to me. Lost in thought, I once lit three without realizing it.
I quit smoking for seven years. Unfortunately, in 2007, when Crowle and I would bust out a little cheese and bread around lunch time, the wine came out as well. Next thing I knew, the wine was staying out from lunch until 3 AM. And somewhere in the midst of all of that, smoking a cigarette seemed like a good idea.
Merle was delighted, of course. It meant that he didn’t have to sit with his arm out my window or listen to me go on about it. It was just like the old days again – even though everyone’s old days are never as fantastic they’re made out to be.

Notes"To be a strong woman, to be a fierce woman, to be a true woman, to be a leader, to be truly powerful, you have to get to place where you can tolerate people not liking you. And know that when you actually do that, you have to fall back on your own moral imperative in your own moral trunk and say, ‘I don’t care, this is what I believe. This is who I am.’"Eve Ensler, Beautiful Daughters (via sociallyconstructed)

I drew 10th Street Reds outfit for my Shepard once. I was kinda proud of it.
Now, after drawing it again, I’m fucking sure I have to redesign it. Yep.

Notes"Society is an interweaving and interworking of mental selves. I imagine your mind, and especially what your mind thinks about my mind, and what your mind thinks about what my mind thinks about your mind. I dress my mind before yours and expect that you will dress yours before mine. Whoever cannot or will not perform these feats is not properly in the game."Charles Cooley (via alifealovealie)
